Disservice: XLR interconnects
@yyzsantabarbara - What does the spec "AES48 compliant" refer to? In my limited research the only thing I could find is that it calls for the cable shield to be connected to pin 1 of the XLR at both ends, rather than the shell tab. If this is no...

@grk - nice and to the point system, Thanks!

@grk - Replaced your Sugden, that's saying something and a bit cheaper too. What are you using for a pre-amp and DAC if you don't mind me asking?

Roon Nucleus as a Streamer
@big_greg Hey, it worked! Thanks for the tip. Awesome system Greg, my dream DAC!    
Roon Nucleus as a Streamer
I do like the idea of SGC option as the Sonic Transporter is a Roon core, that allows you to connect optically to your DAC rather than USB, thus giving you complete galvanic isolating, in turn giving you the best black background, I would think. ... 
Roon Nucleus as a Streamer
big_greg - Thanks Greg. I tried to pull up your system, but it wouldn't load for me? I just wanted to check it out. Off the subject, when you reply on these thread how do you get the @ in front of the members handle when you reply, like this: @b... 
Roon Nucleus as a Streamer
adasdad  Great post, thanks, but I'm I ready this correctly? You and your dealer are using the Nucleus only, as a music server, then I presume, USB to your DAC and that's it?

audioman58 - It seem that Small Green Computer is a popular solution for streaming digital so I may very well give this a shot, but $4K in digital cables, WOW! I went to your system page but couldn't seem to locate your digital components. Would ...

@big_greg - Thank you, I will heed your advice and source out a better alternative to the Node 2 and most likely the Nucleus as well.

lwong - Thank you for sharing. To you all as well.  
Roon Nucleus as a Streamer
big_greg - I am planning on using an SPL pre-amplifier that has an on-board DAC, which I have not heard yet, but from my understanding most built-in DACs can be greatly improved upon. Once I give it a listen I will make that call, but most likely ... 
Roon Nucleus as a Streamer
Excellent feedback & advice, thanks very much to all of you! I wish only to be digital but I think I have to try and figure out if I even need Roon. Yes, I have used it in the past, and yes, it's a nice feature, but it adds lots of additional...

amorstereo - sounds great! I look forward to the read! What speakers are you all pairing these components with? Keeping within my budget constraints, I’m looking at (and have heard numerous times) KEF R11’s.

dalims4 - Great to know. I actually have the s800 and a Director Mk2, brand new, in storage awaiting unboxing after my remodel is complete, which is taking absolutely forever! Hopefully I’ll be listening to tunes again, sometime this summer...fin...
