How to get DSD working in a networked (Roon) setup? Roon is able to play whatever your dac is capable of receiving / decoding. If you have a DSD256 file and your dac is able to take it Roon will pass it on. Roon is not the limiter. You dac and what it is able to process (or how it it is configur... | |
How to get DSD working in a networked (Roon) setup? No, Roon is not down sampling. The signal path shows DSF DSD 64 on Roon. The ability to play natively vs via DoP and/or down sampled is dependent on the DAC and also the port used. I'm using a Moon 280d with Roon via Ethernet. A supported conf... | |
How to get DSD working in a networked (Roon) setup? I ripped all of my SACDs and stored as .dsf files on my hard drive and they are recognized and play via Roon as DSD. Works like a charm. the thread below (and buying a cheap pioneer player) is was got the ball rolling for me several years ago. ... | |
Tidal Speakers owners Quick question for tidal owners. I’m considering a pair of Piano G2’s. My room is approx 15 ft wide x 22 ft long and 9.5 ft high. I would aim them length wise (no option otherwise). For those experienced with this model, do you see this room size ... | |
MY REVIEW: Merlin TSM MMM BME Because you're a handyman Isochronism... and you know a lot about tools. ;-) | |
Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord Not to derail this thread but I'm looking at Stage III power cords for my for Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks. The problem is that the Kraken is waaaaay to expensive for me, (I was hoping to get something in the $700'ish range). I see the Stage III vor... | |
AC cables for Atmasphere MA1s, MP1? Thank you very much for the Canorus and Stage 3 suggestions, (I'd really love to hear the stage 3's). I'm wondering if there is anything in the $500 to $700'ish range worth trying that might be at least in the same vein as those more rarefied sugg... | |
AC cables for Atmasphere MA1s, MP1? Just to revive this thread. I have the M60's and am in need of 2 power cords for them myself. Wondered if you'd tried anything Thotdoc, (or anyone else), in the last few months and what your experiences were?Thanks. | |
Merlin TSM-MMM vs Adam Acoustics Compact MK 3 WC65, what exactly is your angle in all of this? You constantly attack in Merlin threads. Childish behaviour by feigning things like misspelling of screen monikers which implies it is accidental which it clearly is not.As an aside, virtually none ... | |
Tube Pre/Monoblock Recommendation My only real concern is with running 25 foot or so speaker cables. I though that was something of a no-no but I'm certainly open to opinions on that. I'm not looking to spend money if I don't have to or for only marginal improvement? Thanks very m... | |
Tube Pre/Monoblock Recommendation Thanks for the responses so far guys. I'm pretty well down to Atma M60's or Joules I think. With the Joules the heat and need for that variac thing are a bit of a concern as I'm trying to keep the setup as clean as possible in my living room and I... | |
Merlin Master Bam Alert Bobby, I don't profess to understand the specifics around making a speaker that's easy to drive, (I mean I know what implies easy to drive but not how you manufacture one that's easy to drive). That being said, is that something you factor into th... | |
Merlin Master Bam Alert It's funny, I dumped my VPI turntable for the very reason that I felt it was designed obsolescence. After all, platters were acrylic then combination of metal and acrylic, then all metal. There were other things that bugged me about that approach,... | |
Merlin Master Bam Alert Just to be clear as well, I certainly wasn't complaining about the wait at all, just having fun giving another Merlin owner a hard time telling him to wait his turn :-) I shoot Bobby an email every so often to follow-up but it's not a huge deal by... | |
Merlin Master Bam Alert Yikes, I was just being a smart alec and not intending to stir anything up.Thuan98, even if more staff resulted in some things being turned around quicker, (not the situation here as explained by Bobby), I believe it would impact cost and I know i... |
