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?

@david_ten Thanks for the advice.  My MKII has a 2TB SSD, so I ordered a unit without music storage.   I'll keep you posted.

@david_ten. I’ll take look.  Thanks. 
Innous Zenith MKII and Roon DSP
I’m trying to decide between selling my MKII and buying a MKIII, or keeping the MKII and buying a NUC to host Roon Core.  I’m looking at this NUC that I found on Amazon:Intel NUC NUC7i7BNH Mini PC/HTPC, Intel Dual-Core i7-7567U Upto 4.0GHz, 16GB D... 
Innuous Zenith Mk III Arrives Tomorrow
@snackeyp. I’ve had a MKII for about 6 months and just started using Roon.  The MKII has dropouts when I enable DSP.  Are you successfully using DSP with the MKIII? 
What do you mean you “heard” the turntable
@chakster Do you think the old Technics tonearm + old wiring and new Technics SL-1200G tonearm + new wiring are equal ? The fit and finish of the 1200G is far superior to the 1600 and older 1200. The 1200G is also much heavier and solidly built.Un... 
What do you mean you “heard” the turntable
I have a new Technics SL-1200G and vintage SL-MK1600 MK2.  With all things being equal except the tables, trust me, I can mostly certainly hear the difference. 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
NAD doesn’t get a lot of love on agon, but you might want to look at the NAD M22 v2.  Paired with the NAD M12 pre/DAC with BluOS module, they drive my Tannoy 8 dcti speakers quite well. 
Full range tower speakers with bass under $10k
Tannoy 10dcti if you can find a used pair.   
Turntables
I used a Technics SL-1600 MKII for 35 years until I purchased a Technics SL-1200G.  Now the 1600 is part of a second system.  The 1200G build quality is excellent, and SQ is everything I could want.Several folks have recommended the Technics SL-...
