| Using iTunes as a source library for Aurender Music servers Just try Roon on a trial basis. I guarantee you will be amazed. Out of 5200 albums - less than 200 needed cleaning up (cover art etc) and most of these were super rare or bootlegs or partial albums with just one track. Roon is the biggest revoluti... | |

Roon is the way to go - the curating is done for you! Roon is an amazing interface. Trust me - if you try it then you will want a headless... | |
| Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about Turn the lights out and listen to Jean Michel Jarre Oxygen!Duran Duran Tiger Tiger has the circling thing - in fact many albums had that affect - Ultravox used effects to.Beach Boys Caroline No (train crossing dogs barking at the end) | |
| Newbie Looking for Advice on Streaming Music @audioengr Great that you are measuring jitter, however, you are just using your ears to judge if a DAC rejects jitter and sounds right - in fact you claim that no DACs successfully reject jitter which is counter to several manufacturers claims as... | |
