| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure My first response was an unexpected sense of relief, not just a letting go of my concern over making the right choice, but a relief of years of searching for something I hoped was out there but hadn’t yet found. ... listening to the Nenuphars brou... | |
| A philosophical question. @tomic601 Legrand fan as well. I don't have access to that reissue / Impex remaster (via streaming).Listening to 'At Shelly's Manne-Hole' with Michel Legrand alongside Ray Brown (bass) and Shelly Manne (drums)... : ) | |
| Do I really need a separate Roon Core (computer) to use Roon Software? @rockrider I’m not sure, in your case, how much (the degree) Roon Support will be helpful. It might be...but it’s structured for folks who are farther along in "computer literacy." There is nothing wrong about not "knowing" the ins and outs of com... | |
| A philosophical question. It's your path. How do you define being alive...what gives you purpose? | |

The answer to the abo... | |

| Review: Townshend Audio Speaker Podiums @rhyno Thanks for your well written, incredibly detailed, and super informative 'review' on speaker isolation and the Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums.I just put my speakers on them and need to work on optimizing the platforms and speakers, etc. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips suggesting that the chip is the only thing which defines the sound of the dac, [*when many other elements of the design also come into play*] Emphasis added.I have had a good R2R dac and prefer my Lumin X1 with its ESS chip@rossb Thanks for your... | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok It is [a one box solution] if you are not using Roon. Tidal, Qobuz, etc. can be streamed directly. If you are already using Roon, would you not have a Roon Core already? | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok @grannyring You will need to run a Roon Core into the X1. | |
