| MC462 enough to handle Revel Salon 2’s? I have a McIntosh MC452 driving a pair of Focal Sopra No2's (91 db efficiency rating) and when I'm really cranking it in my 24 x 26' "man cave" the needles dance around the 4.5 watt mark.I see the Ravel Salon 2's are listed as 86.4 efficiency rati... | |
| Qobuz Users Update? I was a Qobuz beta tester and after my free month signed up for the service, using their Windows10 app, which was dreadfully unreliable, so after a few weeks cancelled my subscription.I recently converted my Roon setup from having the core run on ... | |

| Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service? I had the Qobuz Windows app installed on a powerful Dell machine, and found it only functioned about 20% of the time, when it did, I enjoyed its selection of classical music and though I think the sound quality of MQA from Tidal vs. hi-res from Qo... | |
| Focal Sopra 2's vs Titron GoldenEar Reference speakers I have had a pair of Sopra No2's since they first came into the U.S. It's been mentioned by others the importance of matching an amp to this (and in my opinion) or any speaker for that matter. I first auditioned the Sopra's with a Naim integrate... | |

| Qobuz. hgeifman,One of my audio buddies had the same problem, contacted Qobuz support, who told them that these are known problems, that they are working on updates to the Windows app, and that a future release would hopefully fix those "freeze" issues, ... | |
| Ordered a Roon Nucleus Plus Yes, it may have been a bit cheaper to build something to do the same function, but from what I've read the Roon products are top notch, and for people like me, a computer guy, if I had the time and the desire, I certainly could have saved a few b... | |
| Qobuz. I "took the plunge" with Qobuz, but the Windows app was just un-usable. I'd say it functioned normally only about 20% of the time, spent most of it's time gobbling up most of the CPU, but not functioning, either to search or play music.So I cance... | |
| Ordered a Roon Nucleus Plus db[jd.My current setup is based on a pretty powerful Dell Windows10 Pro, I7 quad core processor, 16 gigs of memory, but with some of the other things running on it (like the HP app to print to our all-in-one), that and other things that are runnin... | |
