| Why dont more standalone DACs come with ethernet??? I've owned the DirectStream with Bridge II, my understanding (at least according to the manual) is that the Bridge II provides UPnP rendering capabilities but still requires a a separate UPnP server. | |
| Why dont more standalone DACs come with ethernet??? @treebeard1 While the PS Audio w/ Bridge and the Innuos can both be streaming end points, the Innuos differs in that it can be a Roon or UPnP Server and it has the ability store music locally on an internal hard drive.If you don't run Roon or stor... | |
| Why dont more standalone DACs come with ethernet??? I have a Bricasti M1SE with the ethernet module. After the MDx board upgrade, and in my humble opinion, ethernet is superior to USB.It seems like there are quite a few DACs with built in ethernet these days: Bricasti, Mytek, PS Audio, Lampizator, ... | |
| Music Servers, Do They Matter? @abdodson My experience aligns with yours; servers matter and Roon is not the best sounding software. I have an Innuos Zenith Mk. 3, I tried Squeezlite/Ipeng in place of Roon. The Squeezelite/Ipeng sound was a significant improvement but the Ipeng... | |

| Klipsch Cornwall IV @simao Moth Audio has been closed for over 15 years. Craig Uthus moved on and started Eddie Current, which makes some very nice headphone amps. I believe certain models can drive speakers as well. | |

| Klipsch Cornwall IV My room is reasonably large and not evenly shaped. The largest part of the room is 20' wide x 30' long. I sit about 9' from the speakers. I do use a sub, it's a Hsu Research VTF-3--which has a 12" woofer.I think what makes this work is that my DAC... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I'll be receiving a Finale Audio 300B integrated soon and will share my experience with that as well. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV My experience powering the CW IV with a 2A3 SET amp has been very rewarding, it’s the best sound I’ve had with the Cornwall so far. The amps I’ve used have been a Naim Uniti Nova and an Audio Note Cobra--each sounded excellent and had unique stren... | |
| How do people feel about BluOS? Roon has a better UI but BluOS is free. What's more important to you?Depending on your Bluesound device, or the rest of the gear in the chain, any differences in sound quality may be negligible. | |
| Roon - Clipping and streaming @gdnrbobWhen you’re in Roon, right click on the icon of your source in the lower right hand corner. Once you’ve done that you will see an option for DSP. After you’ve clicked on DSP, you’ll come to a screen where you’ll see headroom management and... | |

| is using a tube amp every day bad? It's actually quite the opposite, anecdotal evidence has shown that the more you play the happier you are. | |
