| Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum I am in-home demoing the Hegel Rost now and I am total impressed with the sound quality of this little integrated. | |
| what is the advantage of having a Roon core that's not on your computer? +1 on the SGC ST. I moved my Roon Core off a iMAC to the ST inside the gear rack. Simple dedicated box dedicated to running the core. No more problems with the iMAC patches causing issues. | |
| Colapse to Hegel I guess I forgot to mention budget constraints. The Krell is out of bounds. Although the LD has mentioned the Simaudio Ace. The 2 contenders so far are Hegel and the Budget stretching SimAudio Ace. | |
| DAC/Preamp/Amp Recommendations Correction: The standard Moon Ace may not be Roon ready. So you could do and SGC package like this that gets you a renderer. https://www.smallgreencomputer.com/collections/audio-server/products/premier-server-player-combo-son...Should still hav... | |
| DAC/Preamp/Amp Recommendations If you only stream and don’t need the CD ripper you might consider this https://www.smallgreencomputer.com/collections/audio-server/products/sonictransporter-i5 add an LPS and you should have a roon platform for less than $1.5KThen consider Simaud... | |
| Colapse to Hegel @cleathinker. Yes that was one of about 6 definitions "fold into a more compact form". Also it was a play on REMs 2011 album Collapse Into Now. | |
| Colapse to Hegel @roxy54 I got separates (dac,pre,amp) collapse it all down to integrated. | |
| Colapse to Hegel After further research , proly forgo the Rost and move right to the H90 | |
| wadia 781i Let us now how the experience is. My neighbor and I both have 321 DACS and I plan on keeping mine for awhile. So would be interested to know. I actually called them last year just to chat and got the warm fuzzy. | |
| wadia 781i I think there is a supplier in CA that picked up the spare parts. If you call support on the wadia website I think they will give you the number. | |
| PS Audio M700s or older Bryston 4bsst / 4bsst2 ? I have the s300 and think its a great amp. Only one way to find out. Buy a Bryston and compare head to head. Then sell the loser. I did this with a pair of Quad speakers. Bought them used and compared head to head with my Focals. Ended up ke... | |
| TT upgrade for me Surface is purdy solid and so is floor. One nice thing about 60 year old house. What about the SOTA Moon Beam? Thats in my budget. | |
| Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i So now that you have the Bryston you will be able to switch between Roon and MPD. But I cant tell yah right now that the Manic Moose (MM) interface is nothing like Roon. But you will have to use MM to set the BDP to Roon ready and that is where... | |
| Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i The Roons = RoonMPD= Music Player Damon, that renders Qobuz/Tidal or local file storage. and is managed by Manic Moose on the Bryston BDP series (1,2,3 and Pi). Its an alternative to Roon and Spartan but the SQ is Top Notch. I jump back and forth ... | |
| Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i I started with a Sonos Connect digital out to DAC. Then upgraded Connect to W4S mods for a SQ bump. Then picked up a BDP Pi for an additional SQ bump. Then I added The Roons. I think the BDP MPD sounds a touch better than The Roons. If you ... |
