Need advice on what to purchase to hold 1TB of music and connect to my new Innuos Pulsar.
“I'm not sure how adding LPS to a NAS would help with sound quality” @phishhhhh4  You may want to check out discussions on wall wart vs LPS.

“no direct storage allowed” @thyname My criticism may seems bit harsh but It was quite surprising to see a player costing $7K, doesn’t offer such a simple functionality. At the end of the day, it’s not a deal breaker for anyone who loves the so...

@grannyring  That’s a shame that Pulsar won’t support playback from a portable SSD drive via one of the USB ports. A glaring oversight that they better address soon.   
Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming
@decooney  Congratulations on your purchase of BP.  It’s a fine sounding DAC and appropriate for pairing with decent streamer like Vault. I am currently using a SS DAC, which I am extremely happy with. There are no valve components in my system. ...

@grannyring Yes, Samsung SSD has USB C connector. The AQ USB C and A linked above works great. A direct connection is always better to avoid network induced noise, possible latency issues not to mention NAS requirements for LPS for optimal perfo...

Bill @grannyring I suggest buying a Samsung SSD + AQ USB A to C from Amazon. I am currently using this drive with my Merging +player. Load up your music and connect directly to one of the USB ports of your player.  https://a.co/d/dbTPaN5 https:... 
Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming
“I listened to a Rose rs150 ($5000), but it didn't sound 4 times better than the Bluesound Vault.” @mojo771  Bluesound iOS app is very nice. I suggest trying an external DAC with Vault, you should hear noticeable improvement over its internal DAC... 
Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming
“I have a McIntosh tube amp, and a VPI table.  For Streaming I have a Bluesound Vault.” Based on your preference for Vinyl and given your investment in digital, stick with spinning Vinyl.   
Mac Mini As A Streaming Source
What device you’re referring to? Your AQUA USB port accepts PCM 24 bit / 768kHz – DSD64, DSD128, DSD256, DSD512 resolution formats. I would check again the settings in Roon / Mac Mini.  
Mac Mini As A Streaming Source
“What do people think about the workaround for Roon using HQPlayer which is used in the LinQ?” @larrykell  You can buy and download the HQPlayer license ($299) on your Mac Mini. As you may know, Roon can be configured to implement HQPlayer into ... 
Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade?
Update:  I got my HQPlayer up and running as of yesterday.  After 6.5 listening session and few adjustments with default filters/modulators, I found my favorite tracks through HQPlayer clearly had more texture, tangibility, richer tone and detail... 
Weak Link in Vinyl Playback
“Maintaining both digital and analog systems is quite costly. You have some inexpensive options suggested above, but before spending more on the analog side, consider how such expenditures might improve your digital. I say this because getting ana...

“Now, I already have a variety of audio tweaks throughout my system” @kennymacc Glad to know you’re hearing improvements with iFI LAN iSilencer in your system. It would be helpful for readers to know if you’re using any other tweak in your netw... 
Buying Used Equipment on the Internet
Do your due diligence and you will be fine. My last buyer was very reluctant to send money via friends or family or bank transfer. I spoke to him as many as 5 times before he felt comfortable sending money. My last four sale transactions were all ...
