Roon for high end audio?
432Evo is very good. Audiotroy, I would no longer say it sounds better than Innuos’s top servers.  Why?  Innuos just came out with their own software called Sense 2.04 version.  The sound improvement over Roon on my Zenith 3 is absolutely staggeri... 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
It takes effort, learning and attention to the details to get great sound out of streaming. It is more involved than a turntable to be frank. How the streaming signal gets to your streamer is perhaps even more important than the streamer. The stre... 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
Again, many recordings on Qobuz sound great. Still very enjoyable while what you are is also true of some recording files on Qobuz. No need to throw the baby out with the bath water in terms of enjoying the streaming format.  Nothing is perfect in... 
Network Switches
I have the EE Switch 8 combined with Network Acoustics ENO cabling and Ethernet filter. The combo is amazing, but not sure if it is up to the M12 in performance. Not done an A/B. I bet it is not, but perhaps a great option for far less money. @lal... 
Network Switches
The Telegärtner M12 Switch Gold sounds very interesting, but goodness it costs more than my switch, server, LPS, router, and cables combined! Look forward to the day this level of sonic improvement is more affordable with switches/filters.  
The Miller Carbon Story
Don’t think MC said it was the best or better than all others. Actually he said it’s all about being intentionally curious and learning through trying various upgrades and tweaks. That is the point of this thread really!  Being intentional about g... 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
I am a huge RLJ fan.  Yes that release sounds great streaming like many of the female vocalists I listen to on Qobuz.  
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
George, which streamer do you use? Which service? Software? What is your digital path from wall to streamer? This will help me better understand your particular streaming experience.   
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
Agreed George. I find streaming is the same as CDs in that some sound great while others don’t recording to recording. Find both equal in the percentage of good to poor sounding recordings in my experience. Same sonic frustrations with both in my ...

The transformation of the sound of my digital front end came from the addition of Network Acoustics ENO ethernet and USB cables along with their wonderful passive ethernet filter! Innuos new Sense 2.04 software absolutely trouncing the sound quali... 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
Yes, if you listen to Classic Rock, then streaming may not be your best choice. Most classic rock recordings I have heard only sound good in my car. Shame.  I don’t listen to classic rock on my home rig and find many great Qobuz recordings with th...

Consider the Dali Epicon 6’s.  They are beautiful and my wife helped pick them out.  Looks are very important if you value your marriage and the system is in a shared living space that is the main socializing room in your home.  Don’t have to sacr... 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
I agree with most of your comments as I also mod, upgrade and build gear and cables.  Passion of mine.  Just look at my virtual system. However, one really cannot make a blanket statement about how all gear does not sound any better being left on....
