| Setting up stereo Rel subwoofers…. Hi @jastralfu If he sets it up the way REL states like I posted above, the subs won’t need to be moved, the only thing he may have to do is adjust the subs volume down slightly. REL will have you moving the sub around during set up if you only... | |
| Setting up stereo Rel subwoofers…. First, are you using high level inputs? If so easy to connect the R to the Right amp inputs and the Left to the Left amp inputs using high level wiring, which I recommend. As said, this is all on the REL website. Different amps (class D) requir... | |
| Good USB C Cable A quick blurb on USB-C: This is the current standard, and it marries power and data delivery with display connectivity. USB-C is what you'll see on most new devices like smartphones, game controllers, earbud cases, microphones, and laptops. Its f... | |

| Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer not biting. enjoy midfi | |
| Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer awesome @dougthebiker . I also had the English Electric (Bonn 8) switch. There are similar benefits to be had with a next level switch. | |
| Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer I am a fan of NA internet filters, especially the 1G Muon Pro. It improves my digital.

| Streamer apps critical Hi @antigrunge2 I appreciate your thoughts. Roon is heavy processing, I hear this alot. I do not use any of Roon's optional processing. In fact, I shun any processing of audio signals at all, such as roon correction etc. Am I missing some... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? Hello @mwsl , I demoed both and bought the REL Carbon Specials. I have a pair of Carbon Specials in one system and a pair of Carbon Limiteds in another. One pair I run wirelessly with REL wireless system which allowed me to experiment with place... | |
| Streamer apps critical Yes @rizzo1234 , a separate computer to run Roon is an issue. I had a Roon Nucleus+ and it was a pain…plus a power cable and network connection. Now my Grimm MU1 is both Roon core and streamer. Works and sounds fantastic. Admittedly this set... | |
| Streamer apps critical I think most people like what they started with and got used to using. Brand loyalty with things like TVs cars etc is high because people are comfortable using them. Easy. But in my trusted (by me) opinion Roon is by far the easiest to use, eas... | |
