| What is the added value of a streamer over a networked dedicated Computer I have direct experience in running dedicated Mini as both server/streamer and server only. Mine I7, PCIe ssd, Uptone MMK and JS2 LPS, running Roon as server only. Based on your description greatest liability of present Mini is doing usb rende... | |
| Its not vinyl Well, I do understand loving the packaging and art of vinyl, have over 3500 lps at this point. but we're talking about sound quality here. I'm not looking at art when I'm entirely engaged with listening, and the point is digital can totally engage... | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? As my streaming experiments continue, I'm discovering simple better than excess complexity. Start with best dac one can afford, next is matching streamer/server to take advantage of dac's optimal input, ie, dac usb optimal, likely separate streame... | |
| Whats the weirdest concert you ever attended? Tripping on LSD at Weather Report concert, circa 72. | |
| Its not vinyl Very few have experienced both best of best digital and analog in a single system, @mikelavigne being one of few. His experience and preferences speak for themselves. And then take most of the rest, varying preferences speak loudly, that should t... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? We shall see. Already tried audiophile switch, sound quality diminished from my netgear wif/router powered by lps. In any case, having fun learning about myriad configuration options with the Mikrotic. | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? Isn't low line Mikrotik, this ccr1036, designed for business environment has much capability IMO. Not saying top of line, but what more does one need in home environment. This is all in service to audio and my curiosity, not to providing network ... | |

| Isn’t the forum to post reviews of gear you have experience with? Opinion is the tail that wags the dog. Can you imagine the whole social media enterprise devoid of opinion? As to whether any particular opinion is meaningful is for you to decide. But then we come to things like confirmation bias and group th... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @fredrik222 Okay, audiophile streaming is mature technology, don't expect further innovations. Is that an accurate statement? Quite obvious you don't have patience for 'ignorant' people, in fact your additional comment as to the stupidity of p... | |
| Talk about modems Entered mac address, no problems. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @batvac2 brings out unique qualities of high end audio, content of what we play is artistic, and the highest quality reproduction of that content is what we seek. We desire maximum engagement with the artist and his/her art. So the pursuit is inhe... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @fredrik222 You certainly make many assumptions about me! I mention audiophile streaming being an immature technology and you go off on tangent about me being close minded, ignorant. You seem to be one contentious person, you've ridiculed a nu... | |
| Talk about modems I'm using a Teradak 12v 30W, outputs 2amp, Netgear requires 1.5amp. | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? I've experienced enough streaming components, and observed so many variations in streaming solutions others report having good experiences with to write off any particular component or collection of components. I do believe we'll get to a point wh... |
