| Streamer with PLEX-like UI and companion app? Or sending PLEX stream through DAC? I have been using Plex for many years. Did a shootout and moved to Roon. I still use Plexamp. Message me if desired to discuss. | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? Efficiency is not important to me in that good quality full range efficient speakers are large and bulky. Large and bulky is the last thing I need. My goal has been to downsize. Otherwise, some of my favorite speakers sound wise are very large, ve... | |
| Are You a Swifty? It doesn’t matter what I think. | |
| Limiting a full range driver Unless you have larger and very good quality 20-20000 hz full range speakers, offloading the lowest octaves to a proper sub or 2 designed specifically for the task at hand is pretty much always a good move. You just have to choose the right sub(s)... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I’ll just say size does matter when it comes to speakers and leave it at that. | |
| Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY You should do whatever makes you happy. | |
| AI (Audiogon Intelligence) It’s true the computer itself can’t “feel” but it can synthesize data. Data provided by others about music can be synthesized to allow the computer to “think” similarly. What we feel is based on what we think so…. | |
| AI (Audiogon Intelligence) @tonywinga Neither of those is a barrier to AI. The interesting part will be how it is biased compared to others. We all are only able to process and draw conclusions based on the information available to us and same with a computer. | |
| TAS. The Absolute Sound? Could it be it’s not quite so absolute these days? Things ain’t what they used to be. | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? @lonemountain +1. | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? You can lead a horse to water..... Here is a fairly easy thing to try in Roon that can deliver big results and demonstrate the power of DSP done well in a particular application. Can you listen to Roon with headphones? If so what model? For t... | |
| A.I. music The good news is if you ever wonder what might have happened if The Beatles and Pink Floyd merged to form a supergroup in 1970, you may be able to find out very soon. Or what if Bach joined Led Zeppelin? Wouldn't that be interesting! | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? Tech dive... Under the covers, DSP converts the digital music signal from time to frequency domain. Now in frequency domain there is a data point for as many frequencies as needed (more needed the higher the resolution) and the signal processing ... | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? Agree best approach is let the DSP at hand do its thing first and then "tweak" the sound from there to one’s preference. You can do that in Roon DSP for example by defining mutliple filters that all work together, one to correct the room, others ... | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? What actually happens to make it do what it does if it does much Beyond what tone controls do?? It’s all done in the digital signal processing domain so anything is possible from the equivalent of simple analog tone controls to sophisticated co... |
