| Best Server To Run Roon Core +2 on the SGC STi5. I run one without any internal storage, keep my library on a Synology NAS, both outside the listening room. I use a Sonore opticalRendu as the renderer/network player taking the signal via ethernet and feeding my DAC. At $1K th... | |

If the Altis only modestly beats it on redbook, you've got plenty of opportunity to get something that will be a lar... | |
| #Song for Change the World / Biko Thanks great video with many global collaborators. As a huge Peter Gabriel fan, I've seen him perform Biko live a number of times, but never have I seen somebody rock out and jam on the bagpipes like this :-o !!!Cheers,Spencer | |
