| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Some folks just can’t get out of their own way. They rather choose to butt heads and throw around their expertise irrelevant to the matter on hand 😊 Now now, no need for ad hominem attacks because someone posts a contrasting viewpoint. That re... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I think you just need to go a good audio dealer and ask them to play you your favourite track with a macbook and then a high end streamer to prove it. I have actually done quite a bit more than that. I've been building all variations of PCs f... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Have you ever tried to catch a chicken? Imagine someone throwing a floating candy in a stream of water, and then 1 mile downstream you pick the candy out of the stream Read the link I posted previously from Antipodes OK, so we have chic... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Imagine someone throwing a floating candy in a stream of water, and then 1 mile downstream you pick the candy out of the stream and eat it. A low grade computer is a contaminated sewer infested stream, with industrial waste, dark brown in color. ... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? it sounds better. it does. Not sure if this is jest. But if it sounds better, which empirical result I am open to, then it is because there is a different configuration. The server is not sending the same set of bits, which necessarily means ... | |
| shy about prices So I could put it here Ah, sorry, didn't pick up on that. | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I'm talking about the SQ of a server when using an endpoint over a network. It is the same set of bits at the receiving end, no matter the transmitter. That exact configuration is all I'm referring to. As I said in my post above, if that wasn'... | |
| Started with $1k speakers … what now? There are a lot of well-off individuals posting here. Not to be critical, but simply more about how much financial risk one can take in their audio journey. To me. it’s about Synergy, not $pending. That is not to say more dollars doesn’t get you ... | |
| shy about prices Don’t some manufacturers restrict advertising pricing? I thought that was part of some agreements relating to authorized dealership, which is tied to the ability to enforce warranties. It may be obsolete in the internet age, but I always looked at... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? My plan is to continue using a reliable, well-built, server, somewhere south of $5K, Part of the point is you don't need to do that, albeit I am not criticizing the choice. It's more of a matter of convenience if you want auto CD ripping and t... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? "It’s about server streaming to endpoint over a network." That is exactly what I am doing, along with having optical fiber isolation of both the server and the endpoint from the network. Sorry, should have been more clear - the reason I adde... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? OP: I don’t know exactly how those two different servers run Roon - it’s possible they’re adding some DSP or otherwise doing non--Roon-standard manipulations. But if not - same Roon version, same configuration, across a network, bit perfect is bit... | |
| Vinyl Records - Shipping, max/min temperatures Not something I even thought about when we moved and had the records stored by the moving company for 2 weeks. Records were fine. Just pack them well. | |

| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? You need to save up for a Wadax. That is the only chip-based DAC that sounds any good, You should write for Colbert. My suggestions: Mac Mini USB to DAC probably isn't optimizing the SQ. Some aspects are theoretical but before you go and ... |
