| What does Roon do? I tried Roon free trial for a week, using a MacBook Air. It kept crashing. I think it needs a lot of computer horsepower, which is why they started making their own hardware. I listen to Classical, and I didn’t find the information Roon provide... | |
| Personal confuser Audio which aspect has the greatest impact on SQ? Well I hope that your personal security situation has stabilized.I used the Oppo as a bridge for a while when my Bluesound was dead in the water. If only they had developed a better app before folding their tent....it can be used but it isn’t ver... | |
| Personal confuser Audio which aspect has the greatest impact on SQ? @blindjim I must have missed your earlier mention of Silverline Sonata III. I was using Silverline Panatella as my two channel floor standers before upgrading to the B&W, and those Panatellas are now in a Surround Sound System.. I would love ... | |
| Suggestions about nice Computer based transport/player I am surprised no answers. I can't help much with the DIY part but there ought to be plenty of forums to help with that--I would suggest Computer Audiophile but any basic Computer Forum should suffice. Once the machine is built I guess that you ... | |
| Skidding SACD whoa, I just realized that the original post was in 2001...it is probably the same recording....did not know that it was ever issued in SACD | |
| Skidding SACD The fact that it happened with 2 copies of the SACD and not with any other SACD the OP has would suggest that it is is a manufacturing issue.fwiw, I have a Sony redbook CD of Perahia playing the Goldberg Variations that I have owned for almost 20... | |

| Personal confuser Audio which aspect has the greatest impact on SQ? You are correct in in that I currently use a Bryston DAC3. At the time that I bought it I had a Mytek Manhatten I which I was extremely happy with. I added the Bryston because it has HDMI inputs, and I have a large SACD collection (as well as Bl... | |
| Build a system for $1000 I forgot about stands for the speakers. I’ll have to factor that in.I have heard good things about the Epos. The last time that I auditioned small speakers it was the Paradigm Atom, which didn’t do much for me. I have also owned some Polk speak... | |
| Axpona Show 2019 I live in Chicago and was planning to attend, but we have some family issues on the East Coast that we have to deal with in person that weekend....sigh | |
| Personal confuser Audio which aspect has the greatest impact on SQ? @blindjim Afraid I cannot get into the DAC range that you mention. The two DACs that referenced above were the Mytek Manhatten and the Bryston DAC3. I would love to know how an EMM Labs or dCS would sound in my system and my room, but sadly, th... | |
| CD/SACD Player that is at least as good as OPPO BDP 103D Pioneer is supposed to make a Universal Player for a grand that looks and sounds great. Sony makes a Universal Player for under $400 that has gotten variable reviews for audio quality, but considering that you like the Oppo 103 and the 103 was de... | |
| Best streamer to start in computer audio Do you want to use an actual computer, or a an Audio Component that uses a specialized OS? | |
| Affordable Streamer with great Internet Radio, Tidal, Android support? I now have an android phone. I have not found that the Bluesound OS works any better on Apple vs Android. I have had problems with Bluesound in the past but none of them were related to the Operating System. | |
| Personal confuser Audio which aspect has the greatest impact on SQ? I think that the question posed by the OP is a very good one.Essentially, if I may rephrase it, OP is asking: Formerly DAC Quality was was an issue in the chain. Can we now assume that even the least DAC will have hit a minimum standard of qualit... |
