| To Roon or not to Roon Also in a Roon trial. It creates endpoints that allow wireD connections to tidal. Tidal via Ethernet is more possible via Roon. Roon With tidal is better than heos, and BluOS from bluesound. Using desktop, in other room, for Roon core, works f... | |
| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? Can’t believe how awful bluesound dac is. Outboard streamer for now is my path. BS dac is dreadful. See so many using it in their high end systems, also horrifying. | |
| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? I Am uncomfortable combining streamer and dac under one roof. Keep it pure and simple. Simaudio 680 looks very nice but pricey at $9k.dont like chord tt2 having headphone amp. Combine tt2 with Mscaler. Don’t use headphones so tt2 may include lots ... | |

Hi,when in stereo bypass mode, can you still see tv video on tv, absent sound of course, and can you change channels? If yes, is functionality quick and convenient? Denon has a video select function, does it continue to work?i like seeing video w... | |
| TV Mounted above fireplace mantel - neck strain? Mantelmount reviews are not stellar. Problematic.i think I may just position tv in front of unused fireplace. It may look fine. I hate having to pull it down all the time and often it will be left lowerEd and look like crap when not I use. When... | |
| TV Mounted above fireplace mantel - neck strain? Evolution involved walking and looking down a lot. Tv viewing angled slightly down makes sense.
