| Any comments about using ROON while you are OFF LINE ?? It might work if the Core and the app were running on the same device and hard wired to the endpoint. | |
| Streamer upgrade - best path forward For separates:one solution you could do the Moon Mind2 streamer for ~$2.4K. Then spend the remaining on a schiit modius and you're in under budget. Then upgrade the DAC when funds allow. Mind2's hard to find used at this point. | |
| alternatives to Lumin for preamp funcitonality ? If you can find a Wadia 321 they employ the Sabre chip volume control. You can pick those up for ~$1k if you can find them. But I agree with previous post. My streaming always sounds a bit better going through my Rogue preamp. You can find Rogue... | |
| I can't go for that. If you like Hall , check out Robert Fripps 1979 Exposure album. Hall is credited as composer and sings on much of it. Much different than what he and Oates were putting out in that time period. | |
| Taylor Swift Concert Prices One Reason I built up my HT rig was to watch concert video's. I still go to live shows. Just saw Crowded House in an 1,800 seat theater for ~$150. But its rare anymore. But I am done padding the pockets of all the parasites that have infeste... | |
| Streamer with toslink output My little Bryston BDP pi has toslink and works great as a ROONs endpoint, which is what I primarily use it for. Although for really critical listening it sound a bit more open running the MPD player (standalone). Would need to check and see if t... | |
| Downsizing: Separates>Integrated --PSAudio>Pass Labs I dont have much experience with integrated but I did in house demo a little Hegel Rost. It was impressive enough that if I ever collapse I would include their products into my list of candidates. People on here also have given positive feedback ... | |
| What should I do - PS Audio DAC with or without Preamp I have been through this several times testing my Wadia 321 DAC as a preamp as it is balanced as well as the power amp. But my Mullard Rogue RP-1 only has single ended. Even with Balanced and some relatively nice XLR Audioquest cables the system ... | |
| Why Are There So Many Used Rogue ST-100's Being Offered For Sale? I would not hesitate to buy a Rogue Product at all. If I was in the market for an amp I would jump on an ST100. | |
| Subwoofer recommendation I have the T/9x and like it. If you got a budget of $2k you might be able to find a pair for around that figure. If your going for one you might be able to step up to the Rel S/510. I also have velodyne micro vee and it works well for modest... | |
| Best amp pairing for Focal Kanta 1s I will need a DAC and a streamer, right? I have a Roon Core already. Look into Small Green Computer to run your core and the Sonore for the endpoint. Plenty enough $$ lefter over for DAC of choice | |
| Class D ICEpower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifiers I seriously doubt PSAs M1200s are using the 1200 AS2s, most likely based on the 1200 AS1s Correct. But it's not just a standard AS1s. According to reports it was modified by PS Audio (with IcePower guidance) to marry it to a tube input stage... | |
| Class D ICEpower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifiers The PS Audio M1200 is 1200as2 Tube hybrid. 12AU7 input stage. I would really like to hear a pair of those with my Mullards in there. I ran the S300 fronted by a Rogue RP-1 for years to good affect. PS Audio is just down the street from me and... | |
| How do you assess a DAC? Be interesting to see, but i bet those new Sonos devices show up in Roon as endpoints. should be able to group/separate them as well. | |
| How do you assess a DAC? @jbuhl thanks for the suggestion. What would be the benefit of a second system? Lots of people have 2nd systems or N systems. I have 3 older Sonos Zp90 (before the Port) that are all accessible from Roon. 1 in my office,1 at my HT setup an... |
