sbank, re: Having familiarity with the sonicorbiter browser interface Regarding this, it’s been an issue for me accessing the apps/manage page by clicking the "MANAGE" button when I go to sonicorbiter.com. On the main page, the sonictransporter a... 
SGC vs Roon Nucleus
CLARIFICATION:I have run a SGC Sonictransporter (with MicroRendu) for months and it's worked flawlessly. Very happy with it, but recently it's been dropping off the network. I am working with SGC owner Andrew Gillis to sort this out, and will send... 
How to stream Amazon Prime Music
Bluesound / Node has good Amazon HD playback, I've read. You can integrate an Alexa device into the  Node for voice commands. Amazon doesn't play with mfrs that don't integrate Alexa into their devices. I used to be able to stream Amazon HD from t...

Spotify HiFi CD Quality

Best Server To Run Roon Core
Taiko is undeniably the best, but $35K YIKES! It can't be 20X better than my SGC sonictransporter! Seriously, the Law of Diminishing Returns must kick in hard here, as in so many things in the high-end.  
Question on Streamer/Dac and Roon
Roon Nucleus, or even better, an SGC Sonictransporter for your Roon core. Endpoint/streamer of your choice.https://www.smallgreencomputer.com/collections/music-players

Benchmark DAC3 / AHD2 Combo (with a Goldenear Triton Reference chaser)
toobusylisteningtopostThanks for that info! your DDP-1 is -32 dB THD (!) compared to your Odyssey power amp, so the AHB2 (-50 dB THD+N relative to your current amp) will get out of the way and allow your DAC to shine. I have a phone consult ... 
Why do I "need" Audirvana, Roon or the like versus just Tidal App?
ROON! I’ve been streaming Tidal for about a year, and love it. I got a Roon Core server/streamer ( https://www.smallgreencomputer.com/collections/audio-server/products/essential-server-player-solutio... ) several months ago, and I can’t imagine gi...
