CD Rip and Meta data - Can Roon do better than other services?
Good Idea. I didn’t know that apple has a wider source than dbPoweramp.I’m using Apple music but still have a trouble with metadata.(Usually Classical cds.) I used to use XLD, but switch to Apple Music for ripping. 
Speaker upgrade for classical music
Hello, I sent a message. I’m in the very similar situation. :)  
CD Rip and Meta data - Can Roon do better than other services?
I don’t have roon trial left. But not a problem. It seems Roon’s metadata capability, once the golden standard, declines fast, and other competitions catch up fast. I will just buy dbPoweramp Cdrip. Thanks. 
Boulder 866 experience? Users?
@sonyedman2I’m looking forward to hearing back from you once you audition Boulder 866. Unfortunately, my local dealer doesn’t have one, and Boulder is likely do drop shipping to me once I order one. I heard Boulder doesn’t compromise in its DAC se...

@Waltersalas, I’ve sent the message. You’ve experienced most of them from the perspective I’m in. I’m really curious about your further opinion.   
Boulder 866 experience? Users?
When Whathifi lists its “Against” like that for a product like Boulder 866, honestly, I start to think it’s really damn good, and Boulder doesn’t just pay enough money to its advertiser - more credibility for the product quality.What I’m really in... 
Boulder 866 experience? Users?
Devialt is class D, right. So it was out of my radar. But I happen to learn that one dealer uses 400 as mono set up with Magico M2 for his reference. I think he knows what he’s talking about. Maybe not my cup of tea in terms of sound character, bu... 
Best integrated for my needs????
Used Pass/Luxman IntAmp 6-7kBrytson DAC/+Streamer 3k Used Speaker 8-10kRoom treatment 1k-1.5kTotal 20k. I’m not going to be bothered by cables and etc.Room treatment budget is essential if one cares about the SQ. 
Does Step-up transformer affect the Sound Quality?
Thank you for the information.DAC is from Chinese manufacturer. (I have a hunch that this company manufactures for big names)Also, I find network streamer. I’ll ask if it’s internally switchable without a hassle. 
IPhone/IPad - why do I need camera adapter to connect to DAC?
I think I will need a streamer. The DAC I happen to like it doesn’t have streaming function.I like AirPlay2, and since I don’t have any better source than CD, the quality is just fine. I’ve been thinking about Roon, but simply doesn’t want to do a... 
Point of higher priced streamer?
ha. This thread is getting out of the hand.Still I don’t get any information except the possibility of strong cleaner signal possiblity.First of all, I already get a scientific answer from ASR. He’s a measurement guy and I trust his call.Thing tha... 
Point of higher priced streamer?
I might need to check again.When I test it, the room is a dedicated for listening, but not even have a dedicated router. I start to think then, the router should matter too, if this whole thing works in that way. 
Point of higher priced streamer?
Thank you for all the input. Still no single scientific explanation about how the sound can be better.(Except cleaner sound packet... at least this, I want to study.)Okay, for some people here. Let me provide some reference.My budget is about $50k... 
IPhone/IPad - why do I need camera adapter to connect to DAC?
Thank you for reply.My question is “do I have to use Camera Adapter when I can directly connect iPhone to DAC by Lightning-USB A/B?”From my basic understanding, less device, shorter case should sound better. So, using camera adapter (more device),... 
Point of higher priced streamer?
Why do you think I’ve not tried that?I compare some but don’t hear the noticeable difference.Still there is more price gap than I can understand.I thought that I’m the one who doesn’t hear the difference or there might be more things to consider t...
