Introducing Echoes Music
Downloaded it to my iPad.  Now how do I make it edit music collection that resides on my NAS?  
Introducing Echoes Music
I’d be interested.  Hopefully a lot cheaper than Roon.  Keep us updated.  I have seen similar software that was going to do the same thing crash and burn  
Best way to digitize LP's
@welcher Your process works, but look at the number of steps involved.  I believe the OP was hoping for something simpler.   @dadork Actually I own several lps that are not currently available digitally, therefore cannot be listened to in any di... 
First Streamer...
I highly recommend the Cambridge Audio CXN 60.  A great feature is the Chromecast.  I cast files from my Android phone and they sound great.  The DAC is probably an improvement over the Rega DAC—I used to have an Apollo—and the whole package is ab... 
Direct Drive
Parks Puffin goes for just a bit more new and does have a volume control but I’d like to audition it first.  The Cambridge Audio phono amp is also on my list   
Direct Drive
OK the Technics 1500 is working and I’ve bought a few records. Unfortunately I am having a problem with the phono preamps that I had in storage as they both don’t seem to be working. I knew one was problematic but was disappointed that the other i...

Can a Mod change the typo in the thread title?  
CAMBRIDGE AUDIO CXC V2 EXPERIENCE
@paul_lindemann    Did you hit the all caps key by mistake?  At any rate I agree with you about CA as a company and the transport which I demonstrated one.  If you need a streamer DAC combination consider the CXN 60  
Mcintosh Streamer or a DAC?
I have never heard the Mac or the Black Ice but in general I would go for the best DAC .  It sounds like you still play a lot of discs, and imo for streaming the DAC is the more important determinant of the sound.  Both the Node and the Sony Unive... 
AVR Took A Dirt Nap - Looking To Upgrade
With due respect, OP, you might not want to sling the cash around like tissue paper until you have done a bit more research, not just into different products, but into HT in general.  Your failure to know the difference between AVR and AV Processo... 
McIntosh MB20
I missed the price.  What does it cost?  And where are the MacMeters?  
This is purely subjective opinion. Aqua LaScala/ Atma-Sphere Class D
@juanmanuelfangioii   By midfi I am referring to AVRs in the $1-1.5K range, as contrasted with something like a dedicated Class D Power Amp from the likes of Mark Levinson that go for around $10K.  I am unfamiliar with the components that the p... 
This is purely subjective opinion. Aqua LaScala/ Atma-Sphere Class D
Some Hi End Class D amps seem to be getting rave reviews lately.  I’ve only been able to hear mid Fi Class D, which while it has come a long way from the early days, wasn’t lighting my fire.  
CD Transport Question
The Cambridge is a fine transport..  The Project seems to have had some reliability issues, and I am not a big fan of that company.  I am not sure what the issue is with Rega, but I am not sure they make dedicated transports, so I assume that you ... 
Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor?
The Russian….in their day Soviet…conductors had a reduced presence in the West.  It was hard to judge some of them until they defected.  They had decreased concertizing, decreased recordings (for the longest time, the only Mravinsky recordings gen...
