| Reinstalling Windows after I converted a computer to ROON ROCK You will need to create a bootable Windows 11 USB drive using this link. Use the "Download Now" under "Create Windows 11 Installation Media". Then do the following: Attach the USB flash drive or insert the DVD on the PC where you want to instal... | |
| Enough is Enough I cannot believe that the dealer asked you to chuck away everything in your system. Only a moron would say things like that about the components you own and the treatments you have in place to make it sound optimal. He must have smoked something, ... | |
| Oppo udp-205 DSD playback Below are the instructions from the user manual. Make sure that the dongle is properly formatted: The UDP-205 is equipped with three USB ports: two USB 3.0 ports in the back and one USB 2.0 port in the front. You may use any of the available USB ... | |
| ATC active vs. passive OP, Your thoughts on the larger ATCs are justified. I can still recollect the boogie factor on the large ATCs. They were playing Daft Punk’s Loose Yourself to Dance. It was late evening and I was tired. But still felt like dancing! Stayed back in... | |
| VTL Pre tube roll…or suggestions on 12AU7s I am going to commit blasphemy. I have a NOS Mazdas that replaced Psvane ART series 12AU7s in my preamp. The Psvane ART had replaced Gold Lions. And I love how the Mazdas sounded so "natural" in my system. Used it for almost 1.8 years and they ha... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @audphile1 , I am completely with you when you say that you don't mean to rain down on anyone's parade. All I was trying to say that sometimes certain products do not work in our own systems when most users are reporting gains in their system. In... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @audphile1 , I do not own this player. | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I decided to go away from disc players, in general in 2020. I used to own a Marantz SA-8260 way back in 2005. The laser is a big issue in Marantz players. I had considered getting a SA10 and use it as a DAC, just in case I needed to play a disc on... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I have dropped the idea of a disc player. I am looking forward to getting a T+A DAC 200 soon. I am currently using the Oppo UDP-205 purely in DAC mode since July 2020, feeding DSD 256 though Foobar. I have heard that the T+A performs on a complete... | |
| Qobuz Connect ??? Is it still in the works? Quobuz connect, Tidal connect "for desktop" and Spotify HiFi all are "in works"....if you know what that means | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid My guess is OP was meaning "worried" but somehow ended up with "afraid". @ritter06 , yes, worry is always on the back of mind, however much auditioning/research you have done. It took me 2.5 years and 2 AXPONA shows to finalize my current speaker... | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment +1 @dekay I am with you on your responses. Also @sudnh is right on money: Sounds more to me like you put together a poor sounding main audio system like many people do and you are now in lament. If anything I have found that the better your sy... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @soix , but how many people here who are audiophiles and not computer techs are qualified or are willing to undertake such a project When I posted a response last night, I wanted to indicate that without being disrespectful to others or hurtin... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @randywong , I suggest that you read dCS Guide to Computer Audio. A laptop is probably not ideal. But if you can build a desktop (especially a fanless) with minimal components. For the initial build you can have wireless, blue-tooth, and other s... | |
| Tube Rolling | Luxman CL-38uc @oimuller , try the Psvane Horizon 12AU7. They are not warm though. |
