| If you feed a DAC with USB does XLR matter as much? Does running XLR matter as much if you use a USB input from a streamer instead of an AES/EBU from a good transport? These things are independent and the choice for DAC input has no impact on the choice for DAC output. | |
| a remarkably basic question about Roon So, if I get Roon, would I be doing the same thing from the Roon app on my laptop or phone? You would be controlling it from your laptop or phone but, as the previous poster says, the Roon Core is doing the work and it will reside on your lapto... | |
| Digital power cord for tube amp? It will work fine if it can handle the requisite amperage. Bye. Lots of silly stuff follows. | |

| Dirac - worth activating? Definitely! | |
| Anyone still remember the brand: AURAL ACOUSTIC? Aural Acoustics was a loudspeaker company that I founded many decades back. What product are you referring to? | |
| Thoughts on JRiver Media Center? Anyone using it? I still rely on JRiver although I occasionally use others. I do renew it but it is not necessary. | |
| HDCD No-one on the net can confirm any PMD100 or PMD200 inside any Oppo player, can anyone here to put an end to this speculation??? I cannot be definitive. OTOH, if JRiver can decode HDCD in software, I see no reason to reject the idea that others... | |

| HDCD JRiver will handle both. Just rip the discs to files.................. | |
| Ethernet or USB for streaming to Oppo 205 USB will not do multichannel. Ethernet and HDMI will. |
