| Anyone been able to compare the SQ of Roon Nucleus vs. MacBook Air? Thank you, @docknow. In your change, there was a second variable, the playback software (iTunes replaced by Roon). That may have contributed to the sonic improvements you heard. | |
| Anyone been able to compare the SQ of Roon Nucleus vs. MacBook Air? Jbuhl, I look forward to learning about your results. As well as anyone’s experience specific to the original question — how SQ compares between Mac running Roon vs a Roon Nucleus.

| Yggy DAC How are you doing the A-B? If you are switching rapidly, you are not likely to hear differences. Listen to each for a while, pause, then play the same selection(s) through the second DAC. | |

| Considering buying a CD transport I'm intrigued by the Pro-ject CD Box RS, but have not auditioned it. Well under your budget. | |
| Looking for the good sounding Pre Amplifier Since you say you love the sound of your NAD with the CD player connected directly but need a way to control volume, I strongly recommend you try a passive preamp. In all likelihood, it will preserve that sound you love better than any active prea... | |
| San Jose, CA The SF Audiophile Society (I'm the membership director) is inclusive of the entire Bay Area. I do appreciate the desire to get clubs together at a very local level, just want to be sure you know about us. http://sanfranciscoaudiophilesociety.com/ | |

| VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question it is a rack update time for youI think he's right, Alon. | |
