| Computer out of music room Hello duke assassin!If I was in your shoes I’d be looking at a Roon Nucleus to act as both your Roon Core and network player hooked up to your DAC of choice with a suitable USB Cable. My choice would be a Chord Qutest tethered to the Nucleus via C... | |

| Question on how DAC’s work... larry5729.Please see my earlier post in this thread. Via its digital outs, be it Toslink or Coax, Bluesound kit, even first generation Bluesound kit will unfold MQA all the way to 96K when hooked up to a non MQA DAC.To my knowledge, the current st... |
