| Class A Options for adding Roon and MQA to existing system The OP has picked an interesting price point at $1.5K. In a Roon world, $1.5K buys a Roon Nucleus. You can further improve on that with another $500 for an Ethernet-to-USB renderer like the Sonore MicroRendu, and perhaps upgrade later from the mR ... | |
| Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC Equipped with the software extensions outlined in Ted's guide, an early Playstation will convert an SACD into an ISO file on a USB stick. Transferred a PC, this file may then be converted by Sonore's ISO2DSF freeware to the native rate of SACD as... | |
| Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC OP is correct. The only way to "free" an SACD for playback on any third-party DSD-capable DAC to is to rip it to a DSF file on an early Playstation or Oppo. Search the web for Ted’s SACD Ripping Guide. | |
| Off grid digital music Off grid your local Roon core will preserve all metadata and play normally, but needs to periodically connect to the web to verify your license-- even if you are a lifetime member. The Roon community blog suggests that this must occur at least eve... | |
| Using an external word clock with Esoteric cd/sacd players That is not my experience with the K-01X and an external clock. | |
| Using an external word clock with Esoteric cd/sacd players Yikes, for $44K I'd like to see more than two outputs on that. I'm using five outputs on my Perf 10: K01X, two SOtM endpoints, one SOtM ethernet hub, and an Antelope frequency divider into a Tascam DSD recorder. | |
| Using an external word clock with Esoteric cd/sacd players I’m using a 10mhz Stanford Research Systems Perfection 10 with a K-01X. The Mutec is also well regarded. Be sure to get one with the correct impedance for your player. Some Esoterics call for 75 ohm, others 50 ohm. | |

| Who’s a good alternative to MCM electronics supply Pretty much everything I need comes from Digikey, Mouser, Allied Electronics, and McMaster Carr. | |
| linn sondek tt After slogging through those six instructional youtube videos, it looks like most of the set-up and adjustment process is routine and achievable within the skillset of a reasonably handy owner. No dog in this fight, but the several knowledgeable ... | |
| Data cable needs for best performance. Cat X? I've tried several generic Cat 5/6/7 cables and heard modest differences. For a bit more money, the Swedish Jenving Supra Cat 8 is a significant improvement. | |
| TIDAL-Who knows what you are hearing? Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Accessing Tidal through Roon, all albums sorted to the Tidal Masters list are MQA, but there are many more MQA albums in Tidal that don’t sort to the Tidal Masters list. You have to stumble through each artist to find all the MQA ones. With Roon, ... | |
| Has anybody tried the Star Sound Tech-Platter Ground? This has been around for several years. I have used it on a Luxman PD444 and an SP10 MkII, both with copper platters. I compared it to a Stillpoints LPI. The Platter Ground works well and does about the same thing as the LPI at reduced cost. The i... | |
