| Innous Zenith MKII and Roon DSP USB to the NAD bypasses the Mytec DAC. It sounds great either way. My plan is to replace the NAD with a tube preamp that has tape in/out so I can connect my Teac X-10R reel-to-reel. | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? I have a NAD M12 pre/dac, a Technics SL-1200G TT with an Ortofon Quintet Black MC cartridge, and Tannoy Definition 8 dcti speakers. The sound was quite good using the M12's phono input. I purchased a Parasound JC3 Jr and the sound is sooo much b... | |
| Best way to send digital to DAC I have a Synology NAS and for years and years used Logitech Media Server (beta) to stream music to Raspberry PI DACs, SqueezeBox DACs, and AirPlay wireless speakers. Using LMS plugins you can stream Tidal, Qobuz, Sirus, Pandora, AirPlay, etc, and... | |
| Want to get into Analog Technics SL-1600MK2 if you can find one. It is fully automatic, and unlike the vintage SL-1200, it was not designed to be a DJ turntable. I’ve had one for over 30 years and its still going strong in my secondary system. | |
| Tru-Lift tonearm lifter for Technics @chakster. I purchased mine about 3 months ago. I hadn’t thought about dust. I’m guessing the Tru-Lift lift won’t work with the KAB dampers. Once I know for sure, I’ll have to decide what’s more important - probably the lift. | |
| Tru-Lift tonearm lifter for Technics @ericsch. When I contacted Carlo, I specifically asked about the SL1200G stock arm. The email that I received yesterday said the 1200G model is ready. | |
| Tru-Lift tonearm lifter for Technics Thanks Doug | |
| Tru-Lift tonearm lifter for Technics Doug,I reached out to Carlo a few months ago and received an email yesterday regarding the TT lift. It included a movie showing it on a the 1200G. I have a KAB damper on my stock arm. With it, I don't see enough clearance to place the TT lift.W... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice Roon is a great app. I switched from Logitech Media Server (LMS) a few months ago and haven't looked back.If you plan to use Roon DSP, you will need a fairly robust computer or device to run Roon core. DSP use is not mandatory. I think it makes... | |
| Qubuz feedback and membership Plan Suggestions I signed up for the Beta Qobuz Studio Plan and I have Tidal. I'm 71, my music preferences generally span songs between 1950 and 1990. I listen primarily to old school R&B/soul and contemporary jazz. I also like some blues and soft rock. ... | |
| Best solution to send digital files to my DAC +1 on the Innuos Zen MK3.For about 15 years, I used a Netgear ReadyNAS and Logitech Media Server for playing music files and streaming. That solution worked well for me. A couple of years ago, I migrated to a Synology NAS and stayed with LMS. T... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @itsjustme. Regarding jitter, I found this article on Audio Myths on the PS Audio site quite interesting: https://www.psaudio.com/article/audio-myths/ Digital audio has a unique type of timing deviation called jitter, but with all modern sound c... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? “Best” depends on your equipment, wants, and needs.For my setup, LMS was best for my whole house stereo needs because I had a mix of Squeezebox and AirPlay end points. I switched to Roon because of its DSP and music management capabilities, and I... | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz +1 Technics SL-1200G | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @kumakahn. But, do I have to have the Cambridge or some other device to just play the digital music from the NAS to start? Once you store files on your NAS, you can play them using JRiver, iTunes, Logitech Media Server, and if your NAS is powe... |
