| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k ....and subscription/monthly payment required. That aspect would bother me How are you listening to your music now without cost? | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... As a result of all the excellent recommendations for audiophile ethernet cables in this thread, especially those from jinjuku, I have settled on the SOtM dCBL-CAT7. Here's to having more square and less rounded off 1's and 0's. Thank you everybo... | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now And each manufacturer that is a Roon partner has a different version of Roon internally, many are assuming. I'm a lifetime subscriber and have been with Roon for 7, maybe 8 years and have seen plenty of changes in that time. For sure it is the bes... | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now I have a fairly large library, use Qobuz, run Roon server on Windows, have many Roon endpoints and a few displays configured, run using strong Wifi connections, use DSP almost all the time, etc. I have had Roon for about a year. I compare Roon pe... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @zpatenaude37 how are you getting on? | |
| Better DAC then DA1 module in McIntosh C49 without braking the bank. 👍 If you haven't already, determine from those who have experience with it the best way to connect it, and what format/sample rate it prefers. | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now So far the annoying slowness in the user interface is no more. It’s very responsive and snappy now. Hope it stays this way. I can’t say I’ve had that issue. It has crashed several times lately, but no big issue; just click the button and it sta... | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k @rkfaberdds You should check out this thread: Weiss 501 | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Correct, I did mean to say server- I stand corrected. I wanted to know what you used before the K41 SERVER. For my music "streaming" I have had 2 different one-box server/streamer solutions, so I have a hard time differentiating between the two wo... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I can tell you that from having owned the Antipodes K41 for the better part of 2 months now I’m extraordinarily impressed by the sound and the level of support from Antipodes. Mark Cole is the best. I have it paired with the K22 player feeding a ... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? great systems are like ice cream flavors from a great ice cream manufacturer. They all taste great, but I really love Butter Pecan. Peanut butter chocolate for me thank you. But yes, is there a bad ice cream? Hmmm, what is Tony's flavour? H... | |
| Puritan PSM156 I honestly don't remember so much with the PSM156- it sounded pretty darn good right from the get go, and I don't recall a large downturn, or a huge upturn after the fact. The Furutech outlet I just went through on the other hand had a much greate... | |
| Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!! For fun I like to go to parking lots at shopping malls, and walk up to everyone driving a $60K SUV and tell them "stop wasting your money, you could drive a 20K SUV instead- it's the same thing" and hand them a book on the internal combustion engi... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss I honestly have done zero reading about I2S. My version of K50 only has I2S out via hdmi, not ethernet. The CEO of Antipodes Mark Jenkins states the AES is the best output. He did not specify DAC exceptions. Only recently they have upgraded the US... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Well, my server search is over. I now have an Antipodes K50 fronting the Weiss 501. Is it better? Absolutely. @verdantaudio had stated it was "a step up" from the internal renderer. I honestly don’t know how much is due to the renderer of the K50 ... |
