| Clocking: again! @lordmelton has the solution on clocks. So, the question becomes in what order do we upgrade streaming solutions. We have the choice to optimize clocks first, or after server, streamer and all other network upgrades available to us. | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit Optimizing streaming is not easily achieved. I'm discovering the most experienced streamers are going to completely discreet solutions. This entails something like Roon library on stock or modded pc, server running proprietary OS, endpoint/streame... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC With I7 processor that NUC theoretically should have functioned properly, however, Roon has list of known NUC's that work with ROCK, that particular NUC not on list. The Teradak will work, requires installation of internal filter. While I pres... | |
| Clocking: again! Yes, ocxo and rubidium clock superior to txco, my switch was advertised as ocxo clock, I opened up and discovered txco clock. Regardless, I presume I'd have unhappy with ocxo clock as well. I'm convinced enough of my presumptions that any more... | |
| Clocking: again! I'll throw this out there again. I tried audiophile switch (TXCO clock) with LPS, unfavorable results. Overly precise cookie cutter image outlines and performer placement on sound stage. I prefer spaciousness and air around performers on sound st... | |
| Tube phono rec’s for AT Art9XI - Allnic, Modwright, Luxman… I can't give any comparative observations, but I'm happy with Modwright SWP 9.0SE, precursor to PH9 and x. If I were to upgrade 9x would be on my radar. I also have experience with Modwright digital mods in the past, Dan knows his stuff. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @fmzip Uptone doesn't offer upgrades for M1 mini's. That Teradak should be worthwhile upgrade for your M1, I use Teradak LPS on some of my equipment, very reliable over many years. Only the Nucleus plus would be able to process DSD512 withou... | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit Get your network and streamer optimized, you won't go back to playing cd's. I'm at point where I cannot tell between cd rips and streams. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC With your list of mods! Only reinforces my sense stock mac mini is your weak link, server quality does make a difference. If you were to keep mini, Uptone mods, for off the self, Roon Nucleus, any NUC or can go way upscale. I'm planning on diy sol... | |
| It's Great Having So Many Choices (?) I've experienced this dilemma a number of times in regard to audio equipment. Latest was being indecisive about which boutique 300B tubes to purchase for 300B amps. I researched and read every review from all over the interweb, easy to find both p... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @fmzip I have hard time believing one could get 005 level of performance with any 004, no matter level of mods. 005 excellent power supply is just one section of dac that can't be replicated wtih 004. Still, you're not getting everything 004 c... | |
| Roon upgrade I've had recent problems with Roon remote, none with Core. My issues with running remote came from outdated Roon remote app with Amazon Fire OS. Switched to Android tablet no problems, only issue now is album library no longer in correct order. H... | |

| Lyra Delos or Hana ML Where does ART9xa land on lush, analytical spectrum? | |
| Compact Disc and Vinyl Habits Well, I have probably near 3K vinyl, 2.5K cd's, adding to vinyl all the time as gifts. People all too willing to give me their albums, just clutter to them and don't want the hassle of selling. But thern I stream probably 90% of the time, str... |
