| Researching an "affordable Roon server/streamer, and my choice... I have the SGC i7 Sonic Transporter with 10 TB SSD and a ripper, combined with the Sonore Signature Rendu SE.

| MacBook Pro Playback distortion I used a mac book pro for years. I never had noticeable sound problems. I suspect the distortion could be from the DAC or Preamp or one of the interconnects. Try another computer source and see if it sounds better. If so, talk to Apple. If ... | |
| What preamp for Lamm M1.2 ? I've had the Lamm M1.2's with Wilson Maxx 3. The ARC ref 3 and 5 sounded SHRILL! Stay away. I strongly recommend the Aesthetix Callisto Eclipse. Pricey but fantastic.I clearly liked the Mac C500T better than than the Ref 3. The C 2300 sounded almo... |
