Electron Kinetics Eagle 2 Repair Help
From your area code I am assuming you are in CA. Roger Modjeski at Music Reference in Northern CA can fix it. You can contact him at tubeaudiostore@yahoo.com. If you are in SoCal then I would recommend the service department at Brooks Berdan.

Airist Audio more affordable Discrete R2R Mutibit Dac's from Asia
Given the price this is worth checking out. I wonder if there is enough room in there for a Lightspeed board. 
New to HiFi, need digital advice.
When I first tested out computer audio I used an old MacBook computer and played files through iTunes using Audirvana as the front end. Hooked up a USB cable to my USB DAC and then connected the DAC to the preamp. It worked just fine. I have since... 
Roon Nucleus
I never tried running Roon on my MacBook Air. I have a Sonic Transporter connected to my network that runs Roon Core. I just use the Roon App on an iPad Mini to access music on my NAS running Minim Server and stream through the Auralic Aries to my... 
Anyone Else Using an Audio Kinesis Swarm or Debra Distributed Bass Array System?

Anyone Else Using an Audio Kinesis Swarm or Debra Distributed Bass Array System?
@atmasphere - I got my first exposure to the swarm" set up I have today in one of my rooms at Newport a few years ago, so I know exactly what you mean. First time I could set up a room and not have to fiddle around all day or night getting the bas... 
Roon Nucleus
@audioengr - I have had my eye on the DigiOne player. Do you have any experience with wireless operation? I am interested more so in connectivity and whether there was any issue with dropouts, as a hardwired ethernet connection would be logistical... 
Anyone Else Using an Audio Kinesis Swarm or Debra Distributed Bass Array System?
I will say this: The fact i don't have to use room treatments any longer makes me happy I tried using a "swarm" in my listening room. The fact that I am getting incredible bass response is icing on the cake. 
Roon Nucleus
I have Roon as well. The end point is a Sonic Transporter and I access the library from an iPad mini. I can say that Roon does not catalog my library to my liking and doesn't seem to recognize my compilation CDs. Not sure if it's a set up issue or... 
Roon Nucleus
Think of it as an OS, an operating system, much like MAC OS, Linux. and Windows. Roon wants to be the audiophile OS and control everything, and as as business model this makes sense. Will it be "audiophile" grade and successful, well who knows, I ...

Tim,My understanding is that inverting one of the woofers would further reduce bass energy. I did try it but did not notice a difference. Probably because I lucked out and placed the woofers in proper positions from the get go. Inverting two woofe... 
Anyone Else Using an Audio Kinesis Swarm or Debra Distributed Bass Array System?
I had used Duke’s AudioKinesis Jazz modules for many years and was always intrigued by the Swarm. I actually took a slightly different route. I use a 4 woofer array the concept of which came from Roger Modjeski at Music Reference. The boxes have a...
