Shunyata Venom RCA vs Bluesound Node 2i stock rca
not surprising. I have found some higher-end component wires and cables do provide the improvement others don’t and all that matters is what my ears and brain conclude I tried a couple of VERY expensive Shunyata power conditioners purchased used b... 
roon sound wasn't as good
Thanks all here's a quick summary 1. Special servers might enhance the outcome  These are likely somewhat expensive and will increase the investment into roon by as  much as 1000% (10 times) 2. Other services might sound better like Innuos at I ... 
roon sound wasn't as good
what is the small green computer tomic601  and Im not following about fiber (maybe more in my diet?  :  )     
roon sound wasn't as good
fiber optic...where?   I have wifi in the house.  PC wired to a router    Naim wired to a router  PC communicates to the Naim I assume as a network device which has the roon firmware as endpoint in it  Fiber optic is from the house to the street y... 
roon sound wasn't as good
someone asked about upsampling, Im not certian what I chose I think I took the maximum upsampling, wonder if my Naim Dac might not have liked the upsampled signal   I didn't try it without upsampling if memory serves  This is the 14 day problem ag... 
roon sound wasn't as good
The Naim streamer is hard-wired directly to the router (ethernet) I have not tried DSP but Im not sure how I'd try to tailor it to make the sound less hard, and get the ambiance back.   I only have one room I use it for, my main listening room wh... 
Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work?
LImited knowledge but I have used subs and feel I get some reward.  I have used successfully small cheap ones for computer, kitchen and better one's (REL) for main.  Some main speakers do better than others with sub.  My old KEF's are a bit slow i... 
Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!)
Like with Headphones, the plethora of incredible stuff out there at ANY price point let alone in the 10-20k range, is staggering. How to choose.  (first world problems).  I recently visited my local shop (Speaker Shop, Buffalo NY) intent on listen... 
Lumin T2 impressions?
How about if NOT using Roon?  A decent native interface?  How best to tie in all my ripped Cd's and hi rez files now sitting on a SONY HAP Z1ES (SONY hasn't added Tidal or Qobuz, which I now refuse to live without)  I've heard bad things about USB... 
Turn Table Decision
use the Dual as a paper weight  Poor choice sonically.  Cling clang  You want clean simple devices - tons to choose from for as little as say $300  Look at Rega, Project, even Orbit.  These are all solid bases and dense (plinths) to cut down vibra... 
Jazz for aficionados
there are three great all time jazz albums that anyone who claims an interest in jazz truly MUST have (IMO of course) .   They each reach the loftiest heights of sounding so wonderful even on am radio they would stop in your tracks; each sounds be... 
Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1
OK GE Triton 1r reviewers, that speaker is at the top of my current list. I did spot some used Magico V2's for similar money.  Any one have knowledgeable thoughts?  Im at 45wps on British mono blocks made for brit speakers, but might be going to a...
