Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback?
One possible problem scenario with a usb attached drive might be if the computer is both a server and streamer and the USB drive attached results in the computer producing more noise that introduces jitter in the streamer to DAC interface. That is...

No surprise there. 😘

Uber what I am telling you is technical fact not opinion. It’s how computers work. If I got something wrong or am missing something I am all ears.You can take it or leave it. That’s your choice.

In this case, there is only one plausible answer. USB or NAS storage alone has nothing to do with sound quality for the reason I explained. If you hear a difference there is another reason for that.

Quad 12l?http://www.audioreview.com/product/speakers/bookshelf-speakers/quad/12l.htmlWere it me, I'd put one of the old McIntosh tube receivers to those just to spice things up a bit.

Jitter is relevant to the digital to analog sound conversion process between music streaming source and DAC downstream but not here in the case of either usb disk storage or NAS. Neither has anything directly to do with sound quality, just digital...

I’ve heard a lot of receivers over the years. and the Nakamichis were some of the best. Hard to come by these days though. What speakers will be used?

Usb 2 bandwidth is ~480 million bits per second. Cd resolution music bitrate is 1.4 million bits per second. No problem. Not even close.  
Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback?
As long as there is enough bandwidth to transfer the data fast enough ( there should be with most home network connections or with most any properly functioning  usb drive with cd resolution files ) there  should  be no difference. If not, some st... 
Automatic Room Correction is better than the alternative.
Technology is a wonderful thing but one has to apply it correctly.

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.

The threads get closed because the discussion  tends to turn into personal attacks if posters do not drink the kool aid. 
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.
