| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @antigrunge2 I agree clocking is critical. Attention to that paid through JCAT Net Card XE, powered by external LPS, this card has top flight clock and dedicated power supply. Sonore OpticalModule and OpticalRendu also have upgraded clocks, power ... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. I'm not going to get into the moral implications of privilege, I'd estimate all of us audiophiles in top tier here, level of guilt subjective. I do believe value for money is valid question, personally, I don't see parts and assembly costs of ... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? Can't count the many times I've observed the oft repeated mantra of illogic that believes no further improvements available, and this applied to every single component in audio systems. And then these individuals open their minds to trying the thi... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? I get the logic of low power processor, minimal processing equals lower noise. But I and many others, specifically many individuals over at audiophilestyle.com have taken another path. Specifically, high power processors in custom build windows ba... | |
| Does USB quality matter when ripping CDs? Here is detailed explanation of cd ripping, http://www.dbpoweramp.com/spoons-audio-guide-cd-ripping.htm | |
| Steamer upgrade? Follow up follow up @ianrmack Plenty have described the improvements brought about by higher end streamers and network products. Assuming you have highly resolving system, generally, you're going to get more analog like presentation, should compete in same neighb... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? Oh boy, more preaching from the biblical, oh forgot, measurement pulpit, you know, the place where all truths known, The heretics believe in things like ghosts and their senses, best not to trust your senses, you really aren't experiencing the thi... | |
| More Roon Questions @jbuhl You are correct no ability to download within Roon, just for streaming. | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @lalitk It does appear your local library is neatly organized. Perhaps my issue is cd rips are on NAS, and Euphony OS/Stylus imports files from NAS differently than drives within streamer or usb drive, maybe a direct connection vs. going thro... | |
| Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up My experience with warm up time has been so variable over thirty years, variability in comments not surprising to me. I've found system presentation or voicing, tube types and qualities, especially power tubes in amps, standby ability, number of t... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? IME Roon dsp not very good. Best sound quality attained with all user accessible settings off, therefore, no volume leveling, analysis, anything and everything set to off. These processes are purely for convenience in Roon, if one is serious about... | |
| Is an autoformer (AVC) always superior to pots and resistors ? I did understand the autoformers different than TVC in my Statement, which by the way is dual TVC, one for each channel in fully balanced active pre. I just threw it in there since I thought we were discussing different volume controls in general... | |
| Best upgrade for SGC servers; LPS vs network switch @mdrone Not heard Farad PS, but based on reports from various forums these are first class LPS. If their ATX LPS had been available I may have chosen it over the JCAT Optimo ATX LPS I ended up purchasing. | |
| RIP Thom Bell At times I think I prefer the Philly sound over Motown. Thom had much to do with those quality productions, something about the Philly sound is so uplifting and energizing, good memories! | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? My long term thoughts are I'll keep Roon even if I find my proprietary music player to have superior sound quality at some point. Roon SQ good enough to be totally engaging and even more important, the great interface has turned me on to so much g... |
