| Anyone Bought a Roon Nucleus Titan Server? @audiotroy I've enjoyed a Roon Nucleus Plus server for many years now, it sounds awesome connected to my PS Audio DirectStream Mk2 DAC vis USB. I thought it might be wise to get a new piece of hardware while they were offering a good trade in on ... | |
| I am just very happy with my system. Me too! I pretty much got off the "upgrade train" a few years ago, but PS Audio encouraged me to upgrade my DirectStream DAC to the MK2 model, with an offer too good to be true, and to purchase their new CD/SACD transport, that I did that to "sta... | |
| Upgrade to PS Audio Direcstream Mk1 and Mac Mini? I've enjoyed a Roon Nucleus Plus server, USB into my PS Audio DirectStream DAC, now the MK2 for several years now and highly recommend the combination. Roon offers a Nucleus One for $499, I suspect it would sound awesome connected to your PS Audi... | |
| Do You Have to Play a Component to Warm it Up? ...back to the topic at hand... I fully power down my equipment as I don't listen every day and to have them on "standby" in my mind is a waste of electricity. I do find that after about 10 minutes my system seems to sound a very slight amount "... | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? We moved into a newly-built home 3 1/2 years ago and the developer was willing to somewhat "customize" the bonus room above the garage, resulting in the best sounding room I've ever enjoyed! This house will be an awesome place to grow old in! So... | |
| Food: what does the typical audiophile eat? One of my neighbors, a cardiologist, upon auditioning my audio system made the recommendation that I install a shelf in the listening room and place various sized glass bottles with various colors and amounts of liquids in them, to improve the sou... | |
| Surge protector @immatthewj I don't think it matters where in the main panel the surge protectors go, but I'm not an electrician. The electrician who wired our new house placed them in the upper left slots on the main panel. In our previous home, that electri... | |
| Roon Nucleus Titan Upgrade Offer @kennyc and @jmeyers The more I investigated the Titan, the less I was interested in making the change. Somewhere I read that Roon's agreement with Intel (for the NUC that the Nucleus & Nucleus+ are based on) had ended. The Roon website seem... | |
| Roon Nucleus Titan Upgrade Offer @rsf507 Since my server was probably 6-7 years old, I thought starting out "fresh" might be a good option, especially with the $1500 trade in allowance. But with the additional delay, we won't be home to accept the delivery in two weeks or so. H... | |
| Roon Nucleus Titan Upgrade Offer I finally got a response from my emails to Roon, who indicated that it would be another two weeks or so before the Titan server would be shipped, so I cancelled the order. | |
| Roon Nucleus Titan Upgrade Offer Nine days ago I ordered the Roon Nucleus Titan upgrade, still shows as "awaiting fulfillment", no response from my emails to them. | |
| Surge protector If you have two spare slots in your main panel, I'd recommend you consider having an electrician install a whole house surge protector. If you don't have two spares, they still can work around that, it's a bit more expensive. | |
| Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer! When we moved from MD to WNC and had a new house built, we had the electrician install a whole house surge protector, which occupied two slots in the main panel. We absolutely needed this sort of thing years ago in MD, when the underground cables... | |
| Roon Nucleus Titan Upgrade Offer @kennymacc I'm very much like you, not trading much the last few years. I have the system I always dreamed of! If my Nucleus Plus wasn't one of the earliest ones, I'd not done the upgrade, as it sounds awesome! | |
| New DAC issues @zlone I agree with all the others who have posted on this stream. Over the years I've enjoyed my path, upgrading DACs from time to time and when I did a PS Audio P10 PowerPlant to their P15 model, I immediately noticed quite a few improvements t... |
