| Roon Trial Put ROON trial one of the MACs and and dont be concerned with the sound quality. Shouldn't cost you a dime to find out all the information ROON provides you with is worth getting a dedicated piece of hardware to RUN the Core. | |
| Bryston BDP-3 VS Aesthetix Romulus Eclipse Well at quick glance the Bryston is a music streamer (files & services) and no DAC. and the AR Eclipse is a transport/DAC combo. | |
| Time To Upgrade My Digital Front End If you have ROON already, try a USED Bryston BDP 3 as a renderer. BDP2 with a BDP3 soundcard on USaudio for like $1k. Then you could compare ROON vs MPD. | |
| MULLARD 12au7 longevity Thanks guys! | |
| Best set-up under $20K I agree with others: add a dedicated streamer and a high quality external DAC . Breath new life yes it will. | |
| Tracks to test tweeter performance Also; Tony Williams work on Miles In The Sky is just amazing. | |
| Tracks to test tweeter performance All great suggestions. Thank you. Quad ribbons currently holding an edge. | |

| dac and streamer or seperates The Krell DAC is not that bad (ES9028PRO Sabre) $1K option correct? and I can only imagine they wouldn’t slack on the implementation, check it out here where they compare it to a comparable priced external. https://www.stereophile.com/content/kre... | |
| dac and streamer or seperates @vonhelmholtz saw a Bryston BDA 3 over on USAudio for $1.5K that might pair well with the Air Lens. Bring you in under $4K. | |
| dac and streamer or seperates Obvious advantages for separates is ability to individually upgrade. The PS audio streamer just came out for $2K and they have factory refurbished DACs (direct stream mkII for $3K If I was going all in one I would look at the Moon 280D If you... | |
| Bryston Support @mahler123 Regarding your BOT experience, I think there is a reason why that unit got discontinued. And I would also say if one pops up on the used market pass it by. You can purchase an aftermarket dvd player that the BDP will control. I als... | |
| Bryston Support @totem395 I dont know but I am in Colorado. BOT is just a little slot loader so shipping is minimal relative to one of their burly amps. | |
| Bryston Support @jafant It's a BOT not a BDP and it would not stay connected to the BDP. I think it had a component inside that had either corroded a bit or come loose. They just tidied it up a bit and it started working. Not sure if they replaced some pieces... | |
