| Roon Power Supply You're welcome. Glad you found it useful. | |
| New Denafrips recklocker/converters: IRIS and GAIA I was proposing dropping the dedicated endpoint and using your server as the renderer/endpoint as well, and then using one of these between the server and DAC to provide isolation and reclocking. So it would basically replace the dedicated endpoin... | |
| Lumin u1 mini vs bryston bdp3 I have a BDP-2 with the upgrade audio board (same as used on the BDP-3). It works very well as a Roon endpoint. I haven't even tried the Manic Moose software since I've been using Roon since before I got the streamer. The only other streamer I've ... | |
| Recommendations for a stereo power amp with a XLR/RCA input switch around $2k I would look at Parasound. Most of their amps have switchable inputs and they offer excellent performance for the money. | |
| New Denafrips recklocker/converters: IRIS and GAIA They can't be Roon endpoints since they don't have an Ethernet connection, butt they might act as very good buffer between a device acting as both a Roon server and endpoint that is connected to your DAC over USB, such as a PC, NUC, or Nucleus. I'... | |
| Roon Power Supply Roon software consists of three parts - server, endpoint, and controller. The server is what manages your music library (either locally stored on a hard drive and/or streamed from Tidal and/or Qobuz). The controller is the part that provides the u... | |
| Roon Power Supply The Nucleus (or NUC running ROCK) can be connected directly via USB to a DAC. This isn't recommended by Roon for the best SQ, but if your DAC does a good job of rejecting noise from USB, or if you use some form of USB re-generator, it will work fi... | |
| Higher end value cables Stereo mojo is a review site. The link you posted is just a review. | |
| NRG Custom Power Cables ? @blumartini - what did you connect the PC to? Do PCs do you have on your other components? Did you think the weight of the cord will cause problems with the IEC connector staying in place? Thanks. | |
| GR-Research Line Force First Transparent Speakers? @bdp24 +1. I have speakers with GR's Neo3 and they sound fabulous. I'm sure Danny will eventually have a Neo10 replacement as well, but he's not going to put it into production until he's completely satisfied that is as good or better than the or... | |
| Are these Duelund wires good for interconnects- Parts Connexion sells a similar product that is designed specifically for interconnects. https://www.partsconnexion.com/CONNEXI-85162.html I used this to create a pair of 16' balanced cables. For the money, they are pretty nice cables. They sou... | |
| GR-Research Line Force First Transparent Speakers? +1. Given how good the NX-Oticas sound, if Danny says these are better, I have confidence they will really be something special. | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? I think there are potential downsides of biwiring. The speaker designer (assuming they are competent) went to great pains to develop a crossover that effectively splits the signal between drivers, assuming the SAME SIGNAL on the inputs to the two ... | |
| Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers I highly recommend checking out Danny Ritchie's (GR-Research) Youtube channel which has a lot of great information about open baffle speakers. I am currently using GR Research's NX-Otica speakers and stereo triple OB servo subs. I'm loving these s... | |
| 15 ft XLR thoughts (BJC/Mogami etc) I've tried a few long balanced cables over the past year between my preamp and amp. These were all DIY using high quality connectors (Cardas and DH Labs - plated high-purity copper conductors). My cable runs are about 16ft.Belden 1800F - this is o... |
