| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? I can see where using a general purpose computer in bridged mode could make sense. In this case the computer is used as a server, this means something like Roon core only on computer, this connected to a streamer, various companies make these, in ... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @dbb What you're hearing now much more in line with what I'm hearing and have heard all along. On to last nights listening session, now at just over 200 hours. Every listening session is revelatory with this dac, I constantly and consistently ... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? If the usb in DDC is superior to the usb in your streamer you have a pretty poor streamer. As for I2S in general, many of the best streamers don't even offer it, they concentrate on usb and in some cases AES/EBU. I agree with deep_333 in that... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? DDC effectiveness generally with I2S, I2S input on many dacs allows local or host clocking, host or DDC clock may be superior to dac clock. I don't see the point of adding DDC for usb unless streamer usb really poor. I agree with prior poster ... | |
| Open baffle speakers I ran various model Alon/Nola for years, certainly a different presentation vs box. Open baffle need to come out from front wall and likely need more absorption on that front wall vs. diffusion for box speakers. I actually preferred the way they i... | |
| Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it I find it hard to believe the issues mentioned here with app itself are inherent to Roon. Vast majority of issues I've seen with Roon on various forums are outliers, otherwise we'd see same issues with mass numbers of users. Best I can come up is... | |
| Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it I use rips from Synology NAS, streams from both Tidal and Qobuz, Roon radio stations, have library along line so 12k albums and never have issues. Again, I suspect OP has some kind of OS issues causing conflict. @jji666 Curious as to whether ... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? I started streaming with a general use PC laptop, then went to stock Mac Mini, this setup to be used solely as streamer, therefore max services disabled, this was easily heard improvement over the laptop. Next was a newer generation mini, this one... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move Certainly there are certain designed in limitations with wide baffles of stock Klipsch Heritage. All the more reason to really pay attention to physical setup of system in room. Close to wall positioning in order to reinforce bass will compromise ... | |
| Isolation transformer question The only time I had intrusive hum on the Plitron within my BPT was when I had an over voltage situation with my provider, 125-126V. I also had noisy power trans. in my Art Audio 845 and Coincident 845 amps, I ended up building bucking trans. to qu... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move @jbhiller If you're open to further modding the Cornwalls changing out the inductors was extremely worthwhile, stock Klipsch not so good. I went to Jantzens, higher resolving, greater transparency, more natural timbre. Klipsch Heritage can ima... | |
| Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it I've never had this issue with three custom build servers. With present custom build I'm rarely see anything above 5% usage in any particular core, this with Intel I9 processor. ATX board running Euphony OS. I'd agree Roon forum not much good ... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move I'd stick with horns or open baffle speakers, I went from open baffle to box speakers, never could quite deal with the box speaker presentation. After that went to Klipschorns, I've modded them extensively, only bass bin remains stock. Klipsch Her... | |

| Audio Fantasies I'd say everyone. Who doesn't have an idea of what their fantasy system would sound like. Everyone working towards that. |
