| Cloning an SSD for a Music Streamer @deadhead1000 You knew exactly where I was going with that! Years ago I studied the IRIX operating system when learning 3D software for use on SGI workstations (man that was a while ago!). I had a music server die that had a Linux based operati... | |
| Cloning an SSD for a Music Streamer Assuming the cocktail streamer doesn’t have some obscure formatting requirement it should be pretty straightforward. I’ve done this with Naim gear in the past- format the new drive and copy the contents of the previous drive onto the new one. Wha... | |

| Whats playing on your system today? Now Playing: Nicolas y Los Fumadores- Dios y La Mata de Lulo o ¿Qué hacer en caso de que haya perdido la luz? I do not understand the language but this is very cool music! | |

| Room Layout and Acoustic Improvements on a Limited Budget @ingenear Per your post above- If you go to the members systems page you can look up my listening space under my user name. That room is 10’ W x 16’ L x 8’ H. In the photo you’ll see two panels on the side walls that are 4’ x 4’ square, there i... | |
| AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection @cooper52 I know you’re using Roon but I’m wondering if you’ve compared streaming without the use of your laptop. Have you compared Qobuz through your streamer when using the app via an IPad or phone without the laptop/Ethernet connection? If yo... | |

| Room Layout and Acoustic Improvements on a Limited Budget @ingenear While listening in your home office are you always seated at the desk or is there other seating in the room for just relaxing? It’s probable that you’re hearing the reflections from the wall surface behind you (as well as others depen... | |

| Absolute Sound's "Reviews" I subscribed for years- it was nice to have around for exposure to really nice gear. The more I learned from reading about the experience of actual users (various forums) the more I began to see through the mags reviews and commentary. One day wh... | |
| Non-Oversampling (NOS) vs, @rodge827 You should hit up the ol’ search bar for hours (maybe even days) of reading enjoyment! There are a Bazillion posts on R2R and NOS on this site and a lot of it is really helpful! BTW- I use an Aqua La Scala. R2R and NOS and Tubes all ... | |
| Ideal USB cable length, streamer to DAC? @macg19 I think an “ideal length” would be subjective in an audio situation but as long as the length supports the speed/bandwidth criteria I don’t see why it would matter. USB 2.0 is supported up to 5 meters (16 feet) while USB 3.0 falls to 3 ... | |
| Has anyone noticed a slow down in sales? I noticed things slowing down around Sept/Oct of 2022- seemed like the same listings just sat there- especially big ticket. These times are great if people are selling gear to raise funds- opportunities to be had. New gear at the dealer- not so mu... |
