| Radio Paradise - Superb User Supported Radio- so very grateful for it! Yeah I wouldn't classify is as high rez but its good. The curation is top notch. I been a listener and financial supporter for years. Bryston even has an app for it in the Manic Moose software albeit it needs some work. Phone app works good. ... | |
| ls FM radio even listenable any more? https://radioparadise.com/ public radio streaming at Blue Book CD quality , I give them money every year along with my Qobuz subscription. After I play a few songs on Qobuz Roon Radio kicks in that is pretty good. Can't imagine listening to FM ... | |

| Rogue RP-7 vs MicroZotl. Reference I have an RP-1 with Mullards fronting a Class D power. I like the RP. | |
| Integrated amp suggestions. Audition one of these with a Super Black Box. I don't know much about the company but auditioned a unit at the RMAF and if I had the budget I would be considering one. https://www.stereophile.com/content/octave-audio-v-80-se-integrated-amplifier | |
| Streamer options If your service is Tidal or Qubuz look at a Bryston Pi. Manic Moose aint to good but it really not an issue for just streaming a service. | |
| Can anyone recommend a good streamer/DAC? +1 with @mahler123I have the Bryston Pi which is a DACless streamer and Brystons entry point for streamers. The Manic Moose software is pretty bad but like @mahler123 said it dont matter if your just streaming Qobuz.I know you said yo want Streame... | |
| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences I run the PSA S300 fronted by a Rogue RP-1 with Mullards. I also acquired a DAC that was reviewed as having "warm" characteristics. Did this for all the aforementioned reasons. The sound is good enough for my needs. I really like the way it... | |
| Preamp under $2,000. I had 2 older Rotel RC 1070s one of them developed some kind of difficulty and I cant remember what but somebody still took it off my hands. The other one I sold to a friend and its still going strong. Super bang for buck combination of RC1070 a... | |
| Preamp under $2,000. Rogue RP-5 with new tubes on USAaudiomart for $2k. I think those have a nice phono stage | |
| Need preamp recommendation If you want to blend in tubes look at the Rogue RP-5 $3.5k new and see if the numbers match up with what you need. If you need balanced then look at the RP-7 used . YOu might catch people moving off the 7 up to the 9. Then you can start rolling ... | |
| Why would I need Roon? @jaytor The EtherRegen and AES/EBU could be the difference maker. I may switch my DAC —->Amp Interconnnects over to balanced and see if that makes a difference. Might be down stream to far to have much affect. | |
| Why would I need Roon? @barts Your setup is similar to mine except I have an external DACalizer. When you gots a few minutes to play around why don’t you fire up a Roon core on your network (pc,linux or Mac) host. Really easy then to switch the BDP to an endpoint. Ro... | |
| Why would I need Roon? @soundchasr said "I trial’d Roon and Audirvana. No doubt Roon has an awesome GUI and some good features. However, I never liked the sound despite moving everything over to a Raspberry Pi and tweaking all of the settings. Audirvana just sounds good... |
