| The time has come and I request advice... @jbuhl An important Roon feature that I don’t think was mentioned is its organizational capability allowing for seamless integration of your Qobuz and/or Tidal favorites with your own ripped and/or downloaded material maintained locally. I don’t... | |
| DAC streamers: Bryston v. HiFi Rose video Have no idea what your budget is. But budget allowing, given what you like about the Rose products, have you considered the option of the Rose RS130 (high end network player, no DAC) and then combining that with your DAC of choice. | |

| Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings? Based on my research (I flirted with going with the Grimm MU1), the MU1 does have USB out, however, the real benefit of the MU1 is only seen with its S/PDIF and AES/EBU outputs. The synchronous outputs receive the benefits of the MU1’s clocking an... | |
| Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings? Might I put the $5195 Rose RS130 Network Transport up for consideration. Just put in an order for one after my local dealer let me take their demo unit home for a week. Although Rose has their own app, I used it as a Roon endpoint. Trialed it by ... | |

| Power supply poll for Chord Qutest I had success employing a 5v Ifi iPower Elite with a Chord Qutest, which is Ifi's top of the line switch mode power supply. | |
| Rockna Wavelight Music Server @verdantaudio In terms of sound quality, from a streaming perspective how would you rank the 2 Rockna Servers? How does the SQ compare to say the Bricasti M5. If you were to rank all 3 as streamers on a 10 point scale (with 10 being the best SQ yo... | |
| Rockna Wavelight Music Server @verdantaudio What do you mean by long term flexibility? Can you flush that out a little bit. And as I understand it the Wavedream Net is a memory player, reading everything into Ram before playing it. Although the Wavelight Server does not have ... | |

| Thiel Owners @lars888888 I've been very happy driving my CS 2.4 speakers with a Coda CSiB v1 integrated amp. The Coda doubles down as you halve the impedance. The CSiB is for all intents and purposes a CODA 8 basic amp with an integrated line stage. Prior ... | |

| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing Hello Joe, my name is Stu and I’m a roonaholic. Roon is my absolute control app of choice. Given that you don’t require support for a streaming service other than either Qobuz and/or Tidal, then I don’t think Roon can be beat. It’s not cheap, but... |
