Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings?
@audphile1 - Good points.  I thought I heard Aurender was, or was soon to be,  Roon ready.  I unintentionally left Lumin out.  What would be the the appropriate Lumin product (streamer only, $5-10K)?  
Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings?
@jbuhl - I appreciate your thoughts but would like to stay focused within the approximately $5-10K (new) price range for clarity when comparing devices.  Also, anything significantly below or above that price range would likely be paired with a wh... 
roon sound wasn't as good
But the server (core) usually matters far less than the player. @fuzztone - I also have found this to be true. My server is in my network room, and streamer in my system room. I like the sound from the Signature Rendu SE optical streamer better... 
PURON RESOLVE creates new options for better sound
@hilde45 - Nice, pass the Shimmer please, I need some for my butterscotch pudding! Regarding PURON RESOLVE, I am finding it hard to even find any information about it.  There is a YouTube video but Underwood HiFi, a popular Puron dealer, doesn't ...

DAC vs Music Server
I have found greater sonic differences in the streamer (or Roon endpoint), than resulting from the server (Roon core + local files).   When comparing, I think it is important to understand what the device is being used for and in the case of the ... 
Singxer SU-6
Thanks David for the info on the power supply.  I didn't go crazy but this one looked competent and is supposed to get here from China within a reasonable timeframe.  The ifi filtered smps/wall wart power supply at 9V and 2.5A is also supposed to ... 
Dedicated 20 amp circuit. 10/2 or 10/3?
Considering the cost of copper, etc., the materials cost of your project are not exactly cheap but the labor is probably more expensive.  It will be easier to run both lines at the same time, which should reduce your labor cost compared to running... 
LPS for Optical Network Terminal (ONT)
I thought I saw that connection when I googled your device. From the picture, it appears that the A connection is the +12 VDC and the B connection is the - or return.  Looking at the connector raises the question whether this device has an intern... 
LPS for Optical Network Terminal (ONT)
If your goal is to power your router with a LPS, then you need to purchase a LPS that delivers 3A of current at 12V DC.  The LPS you purchase should come with a DC power cable to connect the LPS device to your router, and it should also come with ... 
Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers
@atmasphere - No argument on the possibility of better sounding Class D amplifiers.  I think some of the perception problem is due to the level of hype surrounding each new amplifier release, which peaked with those Hypex NC1200 amplifiers when se... 
Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers
"it seems that lack of soul or engagement is a common theme more so than other critiques" Everyone describes what they hear based on their own impressions, so I can only speak to my impressions of the Class D Acoustic Imagery Atsah monoblocks, ... 
Triode Wire Labs
“That would give his cables a “Dueland” type performance perhaps, but takin to a higher level by his design innovations.”  Yup, that is about right.  Read the reviews.  Also consider his newer cables innovatively push the boundaries of his orig... 
Triode Wire Labs
I believe the American Series power and speaker cables are made from stranded, tinned copper Western Electric KS13385 wire.  This review provides some insight into how the cables are made and the other reviews of TWL wire that you can find on line...
