| 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... | |
| So many new TT's at lower price, still better off buying used? Technics makes a very good turntable. I purchased an SL-1600MK2 in 1985 that's still going strong and an SL-1200G that I purchased this year. The 1200G is IMHO an excellent table. The 1200GR is almost as good.If you can find a good working 1600... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? Fort Washington, MD in the Washington DC suburbs. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Absolutely nothing. I've ripped all of my CDs to an Innous Zenith MKII and haven't looked back. Having said that, I was listening to Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" today. Great album on CD, awesome album on vinyl. | |
| Best Tonearm Lifter? Anyone using a tru-lift with a Technics SL-1200G? | |
| Any experience with Tannoy loudspeakers? I have Tannoy 8 dcTi from their Definition line. The Tannoy's are positioned about 3' from the back wall and 3' from each side wall. My room size is 12' wide, 13' long, with 9' ceilings. I use a NAD M12 pre/dac and NAD M22 v2 power amp. I lis... | |
| Whats your take on a NAD 3020, I truly believe it defined stereo and still does! I used a NAD 7140 and DCM Time Windows 3’s for a long time. Now I push the Time Windows with a McIntosh C31V and MC2600 :-). A bit of overkill but they still sound great. | |
| Brand New Warped albums! It's not just MD. I purchased two new Dianna Krall "pressed at RTI 180g 45 RPM audiophile" album sets at the DC Audio Show this summer from Elusive Disc. One Diana Krall/Live In Paris record had a nasty skip on one side. I had to pay return shi... | |
| Innous Zenith MKII and Roon DSP @david_ten 200W PS on the way. Andrew assured me the unit came with a cord compatible with my Liberty DAC. I was about to buy the Sbooster PS for the Liberty. Boy, am I happy I waited.Still waiting for the sonicTransporter to ship. Once I ge... | |
| Innous Zenith MKII and Roon DSP I did looked at the power supplies on the SGC site. The only one I saw for the i7 sonictransporter was the 200W version, which seems like overkill for only one device. Do you know of any other options? | |
| Innous Zenith MKII and Roon DSP @jsqt. I'm not sure what you are using DSP for if you are not doing upsampling, but it is true that DSD upsampling is the most memory-intensive operation. EQ and headroom probably would not cause as many issues as the upsampling to DSD 64.I wan... | |
| Innous Zenith MKII and Roon DSP Thanks for the offer. I will certainly do that. Did you experience any loss of SQ running Core on the sonicTransporter? |
