| Found A Roon Core Streamer Only Solution with Top Notch Sound Quality @kennyc You’re welcome. I felt compelled to share this because the cost of really good quality streaming can be popping. But I can’t hear the difference. I just think $5000 a streamer is a little insane. the unit is still running and is totall... | |
| Found A Roon Core Streamer Only Solution with Top Notch Sound Quality @sns, I respect your opinions because you have a good background knowledge in the implementation of this stuff. We consulted on modifying my Chinook. You were a gentleman and very right in your views—based on what my ears heard. | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? @v-fi I have it paired with a Linear Tube Audio Aero, R2R ladder NOS DAC, using 6sn7 or 12sn7 tubes. | |
| Found A Roon Core Streamer Only Solution with Top Notch Sound Quality I was looking at streamer only solutions and some of the pricing was eye popping, yet there are some highly reviewed and/respect items out there too in the $800-$1500 range. What pushed me to get this Nucleus Plus clone was the fact that I could... | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 Nonoise, they definitely can charge a room either way bass. They are modestly sensitive to positioning. If I move them out into the room more the bass energy lessens, as is the case with many speakers. If you have the ability to move them around... | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 @nonoise , How big is your room? Mine is 22' long by 15' wide. The A5s are a good fit here. | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? @v-fi , Yes, I'm modestly experienced with Roon--been using it for about 3 years now. I built a Roon ROC NUC before and it worked well til I wore it out. Recently I was using my Mac as the Roon Core. Despite the amazing suggestions above, many ... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i I got my 805 integrated back from Scott. It’s amazing now. | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 @vdotman , HA! Probably not the best choice in words by me above. I should've said non-clinical. Some people love clinical and I find that fatiguing. | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 @shtinkydog , I'm not 100% sure of anything and no it doesn't matter to me. I should've stated they are designed in France by a French company per their website. Forensically, I have no clue. | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 @judsauce , thank you for your encouragement and positivity. Over the years, I've noticed you posts and you're always a neutral advocate for enjoyment! @roxyone , HA!!!!! @bigkidz , You were 100% correct. And, moving on from large 100dB hor... | |
| Luxman 505z OP, I hope you get what you want here. I’m in month two of owning my very first Lux—the 590axii. I love it so much and respect the engineering so much that if I move in a different direction I’m gonna keep it as an heirloom. The Japanese at thi... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? @snookhaus , that DAC was on my shortlist but I never tried it! Sounds great by your description. I went LTA Aero. | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? Detail is important to me but I don’t chase it or look to keep getting more of it per se. I really prioritize the ability to scale. I often describe this as the difference between a hyper resolving thumbnail view of the music that borders on ... | |
| Enough is Enough Whoops! I missed that OP tried the M Scaler. I need more coffee this am. |
