| Streamer/DAC combo or stand alone DAC with Node2? @mgrif104 Node 2 going into an NAD Masters M12 Pre/DAC Just curious. Why did you buy a Node 2 as opposed to using a BluOS MDC with the M12? | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? As I noted in an earlier post: I was under the impression that jitter was handled by “modern” DACs or by using an external master clock.I'm really trying to understand "jitter" and it's impact on streamed music. I use the following components fo... | |
| Linear Power Supplies with multiple power modules I use a HD Plex 200 watt LPS to power a sonicTransporter, Mytek Liberty DAC, and Ethernet switch - with one plug to spare.It is built like a tank, and works very well. | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @ kumakahn. Again, thank you. Many ways to get there. I didn’t know about the Zen Mini. I like the specs for it. It seems to match the RC-1590 better than the Vault II. The Zen Mini can handle DSD, as does the RC-1590. Have you made a bu... | |

| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? Steve,It’s ALL ABOUT JITTER, periodI was under the impression that jitter was handled by “modern” DACs or by using an external master clock. Having said that, I have zero experience with external clocks.I have a Mytek Liberty DAC. It’s specs hav... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? Steve,The OP appears to be relatively new to this "hobby," at least from a music streaming perspective if nothing else. He, like most people I believe, probably wants to get it as close to "right" the first time; sit back and enjoy the music; and... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @OP. Try to find a local dealer and audition the ZENmini in your system if possible. | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @kumankahn. But, honestly, I just want to listen to music that sounds great and is easily located and selected. Looks like you have to main goals for your music: (1) sounds great and (2) is easily located and selected.(1) Seems like a hardwar... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? Also get a dac that has a network interface so you can keep the server in a different room I think that depends on your overall system setup.I once used a Synology DS216+ NAS as my media server. It was kept in my home office and could make mec... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @rbstehno I go directly to my dac using Ethernet so no need for the inferior usb connection. Why do feel a USB connection is inferior to Ethernet? I've used both in my setup and I get the best SQ with USB. | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? @ curiousjim I ripped my CDs to FLAC. There are those who believe WAV provides better SQ. I haven't tried WAV and I'm quite happy with FLAC. WAV takes up more disk space, if that's a concern. I don't think you'll have a SQ problem with eithe... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? To make this work, you'll need a hardware device to hold your music files; some type of software to "serve" or stream your music files; endpoints to receive the streamed music; music control software running on a hardware device to play music; and... | |
| Most Recent ROON Upgrade Quite Nice I recently moved from Logitech Media Server (LMS) to Roon 1.5, and now to Roon 1.6. I really like the Roon interface and functionality, and its SQ over LMS. I haven't noticed any SQ difference between 1.5 and 1.6. I've been using Roon for... |
