Roon vs OS and Native Players - Impact on SQ?
I found the sound quality very flat in the Roon environment and having .... Dont mean much without knowing  the set up details....  
Focal/Naim APP forcing digital front end change
Bryston gets a bunch of customer flak for their Manic Moose interface on their BDP streamer products. It's certainly spartan and has its issues.  But that will run on all their streamers all the way back to the BDP-1 circa 2011.   Even runs and ca...

@mgrif104  What was hosting the core?  
Roon vs OS and Native Players - Impact on SQ?
When I ran ROON through a MAC mini to my Bryston Pi endpoint.  The soundstage was pancake flat compared to streaming directly through the Pi's  Manic Moose an MPD.  Moved the Core to an SGC with Sonic Orbiter, put in a Mesh Network node at the rig...

I try to not listen to them on the radio so I can enjoy them on my system.  
Quad Revela 1 & 2
@lafish3 What was the last "box" series made in england? I have the z4 and have had the s5.  The s5 were perfect but tiny imperfections can be found on the Z's, But still a really solidly built.  Love the tweeter construction and the base and fee... 
Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer?
I am purdy sure if you go with a dedicated quality streamer you will beat the pants off airplay from a phone.   Do some searches on here as this topic has been covered many times over many moons.  As a matter of fact this site could use a dedicate... 
Streamer Comparison and Suggestions
The Bryston BDP-3 is Roon Ready.  I have their Pi unit and it makes a solid Roon Endpoint and Bryston Support is good. https://sepeaaudio.com/content/Bryston_BDP-3_Review_Audio_Video_South_Africa.pdf  
Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade?
@toro3. I dont think HQPe runs with a desktop app. All a moot point I think as I just found out from Andrew that my endpoint does not speak the NAA protocol. Unless HQPe speaks DLNA I am dead in the water.  
Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade?
I can’t find the small globe to change the setting. It does not appear in the Sonic Transport interface. Remember the ST is a headless computer controlled via a browser. I installed an HQPdcontrol app on my iPAD and got that connected but I dont ... 
Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade?
When I try to play a track roon says it can not connect to the HQplayer.  There is a note on the Roon help pages that indicate you have to configure HQP to "Allow control from network". But I dont see that setting in the embedded version I have on... 
Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade?
Slowly figuring this out.  Got HQplayer added to Roon and it appears as an end point.  I suppose now I need to see if one of the USB ports on the Sonic transport has USB out?     
Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade?
I am interested in trying this, sounds fun. What would my topology be? considering: I have Roon Running on an SGC i5. I also have installed HQplayer on the i5. My Bryston BDP is the current Roon endpoint. Then My DAC. I stream The Qobuz    
when your hearing is not as good as it was . . .
I am 65  and suffer audiometric notch ,aka "noise notch". Listening with hearing aids sucks. and I have moderate priced and expensive (widex & oticon). One of the things that is significant is cupping my hands behind my ears. Its amazing how... 
Question/Help Needed: Boomer who is totally inexperienced with DACs and streamers.
