Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback?
Should be no difference.   
Do I really need a separate Roon Core (computer) to use Roon Software?

Just another Orange fuse thread
Maybe threads that trash people with an opposing view’s ability to appreciate art or listen properly deserve to be deleted? That seems to serve no useful purpose and would qualify as spam.Personally I prefer them to stay. They are very educational.

Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents?
No but Early on I had Ohm Ls which fit in a college dorm room better. Ls were designed to sound similar to the large Advents but were ported and smaller. They sold both at Tech HiFi back then. I personally preferred the sound of the Ohms.

Why are Trolls not blocked
A lot of nonsense is tolerated here. Nonsense is a big part of high end audio and good for business it seems. It is what it is. This site is primarily for selling things so there you go. It’s like QVC but with less censorship. You CAN learn a lot ... 
High End Audio......Sucking the Romance out of the Music?
Well no argument sucking the money out of bank accounts.
