| Should I upgrade from a Mac Mini to a dedicated server or should I upgrade my dac? IME, it’s the subpar and lazy approach in the design and implementation of most ROON compatible devices that leading us to believe that a single device serving as Roon core and end point is not optimal. To name a few, take a look at Taiko, Pink Fa... | |
| Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers? “Roon is very demanding when it comes to resource consumption. Using one machine as roon core and streamer is not the best approach.” @audphile1 I beg to differ. If Nucleus and Mac-Mini or similar devices is your reference, then the answer is Y... | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality @pokey77 I have added the ground boxes in my virtual system. Let’s take it offline if you’re interested in learning more about them. They are definitely worth exploring as their impact in your system is far from subtle. | |
| Nordost Cable Listed in Order of Importance IME, power cords have a biggest impact and bang for your money in a well appointed audio systems. The other two are just as important but to a lesser degree. And I’m in agreement with Nordost’s ‘order of importance’. | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? @audphile1 Here is one example, I own quite a few of their amazing DSD recordings. | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? @antigrunge2 Look out for upcoming Network Acoustics Rubicon switch. A box like ENO inside a streamer / server would serve as a solid foundation to noise containment. Tweak geeks like us will always find a way to improve upon existing standards 😉 | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality @pokey77 Like you, I’ve been very happy with my system. My digital streaming / network has been stable going on 8 months (last addition was LPS for M12 switch). I hear you on the improvements part…never a dull moment here. I have been tinkering ... | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? “You‘d think a decent designer could do better!” @antigrunge2 You’re so right. I would like to see a completely isolated Ethernet chamber with some kind noise filtering tech inside streamers / servers. Essentially a ENO or MUON filter type appr... | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? @antigrunge2 Your Ethernet reminds me of old corroded water line that is held together with so many patches to prevent water leaks and contamination 😂 🤣 | |
| Should I upgrade from a Mac Mini to a dedicated server or should I upgrade my dac? @pgastone If you’re looking for a simpler yet high performance streaming source, consider Grimm Audio MU1. https://www.grimmaudio.com/hifi-products/music-players/mu1/ I am using a Network DAC with Roon Core and Endpoint (all in one bo... | |
| Help me choose speakers Unless you prepare to remove built-in bookcase/cabinet, I suggest that you install Sonos Arc underneath your TV and Sonos sub on the floor (right wall). I am using this exact system in my family room and lounge. The Sonos Arc and Sub will serve du... | |
| Preview and teardown -- Erhard Audio Ella Tube Preamp I don’t quite get the decision to position I/O jacks in the middle of front panel. Imagine the rats nest and nightmare of routing your IC to your source components and amplifier. | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? @wsrrsw I’m aware of latest offerings (Muon filter and Rubicon Ethernet switch) from NA albeit at higher price point. You may try EE8 and see if it’s worth the improvements in your system. You can read up on Muon and Rubicon switch here, http... | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality “the Nogami sounded better” @grannyring Darn it 😊 I have requested Colin to sent over Nagomi for a head to head comparison with Zavfino Majestic MK1. As always, I appreciate your candid feedback. | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality @grannyring, The iFI Elite power supply is pretty darn good. Are you planning to use Nagomi with LPS feeding the Rubicon? I’m very curious to learn how much Nagomi is contributing towards what you’re hearing vs a PC in $500 range? You know where ... |
