| ETHERNET CABLES “Last couple weeks have a) made a fiber connection to my DAC (Weiss 501); and b) added a Shunyata Delta Ethernet cable to the mix. Using Roon.” @w123ale What is your ROON device? Where did you add Shunyata Ethernet cable, to what device? | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? “Way more benefits using higher quality cables than removing a 5 shelf vertical rack from between the speakers.” @audphile1 Exactly! I was using 25FT RCA cable between Pre and amp and always wondered about the weak link by settling on most affor... | |

| Sternklang Cables @aniwolfe Thanks for chiming in. Since speaker cables were not marked with directional arrows, I followed the official position, “They gain directionality as they’re used, so pick one orientation and stick with it” | |
| Sternklang Cables @t_ramey The speaker cables are not directional. I bought the new pair with bare ends so I terminated the amp end with banana’s. I would use the demo pair with bananas on amp end to keep the signal flowing in same direction. Looking forward to y... | |
| Aurender to Roon Core? “i think the to and fro thus far is useful for other readers who might review this thread and they can treat it as input for their own decisions about streamer selection, roon etc...” @jjss49 Agreed! Of course the intent was not to argue but en... | |
| The ”sweetspot” in the Nordost line of cables “The Sweetspot in Nordost line” …Tyr 2 However, with Maggie / Gryphon consider cables with PC-OCC copper….try Zavfino, Neotech or Audio Sensibility. I do not believe Nordost would be a wise choice. | |
| Sternklang Cables “if Sternklang uses occ copper or not?” @t_ramey Thanks for the update. For reasons unknown to me, the Japanese artisans are not very revealing of metallurgy and construction of their cables. Honestly, I don’t care cause how they sound to my ear... | |
| Aurender to Roon Core? @sns You’re spot on in your assessment of various players having unique sound characteristics. I have friends who swears by and prefers HQPlayer SQ over ROON by a wide margin where HQPlayer is the final arbiter. IMHO, this is by far probably the... | |
| QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner, anyone tried it? @lak Thanks for sharing. May I know how exactly you’re using the QSA - Yellow? Are you using ahead of power conditioner or on individual components? | |
| Aurender to Roon Core? @jjss49 The respect is mutual as I always appreciated your point of view and contributions here. But I must disagree with you on couple of things, 1) roon is a software overlay, it does not have a sound - If you think ROON algorithm does not i... | |
| QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner, anyone tried it? @tommylion Thanks for your posting. I first learned about this from @arafiq. IME, power conditioners tends to add their ‘signature’ on the overall sound of your system. In any case, looking forward to your feedback. | |
| Aurender to Roon Core? @carlsbad My reference to the timeline was to depict Aurender long term commitment to a closed loop robust software app that offers much superior integration with their hardware and cloud based streaming services like Tidal and Qobuz. They were ... | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? @ryder Thanks for listing your cables. All of those are mighty fine sounding cables. I don’t think your current XLR is your bottle neck. The improvements you’re seeking points to a weakness elsewhere in your system, more specifically one of your... | |
| Aurender to Roon Core? @jjss49 Aurender has committed considerable resources in developing a robust and intuitive app since their launch. I don’t think it’s fair to label Aurender as enemy of ROON just because they choose not to support ROON for philosophical reasons... |
