| mac mini into a hires streamer I don’t know the specs on your Mac but I had to retire my old MacMini since it wouldn’t update the software Tidal required. Mac output via optical is capped at 48 but USB is not. Once I upgraded to a new Mini and used a good USB cable all was good... | |
| TOSLINK OPTICAL cables I go with polished glass. Not much more money. Never fails no matter the length. | |
| Has anyone had tech difficulties streaming through AudiNirvana? I’ve had great luck with Audirvana for Tidal and Qobuz on my Oppo 103, but also with my MacMini using Safari. I’m thinking that the Mac is having problems with the USB or the Para is failing. I don’t think it’s the stream from the services. | |

The research is extensive with computer modeling and multiple variations in numbers and placement. It’s easy find online and well worth ... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music To enhance bass you need to try to position the speakers closer to walls to amplify the lower bass, or add subwoofers. The answer is not adding multiple subs or adding bass absorption. The rational approach is to start with proper imaging using a ... | |
| How long is too long for interconnects? I recommend longer ICs and shorter speaker cables after much trial and error. The best budget ICs are Blue Jean Cables LC-1. Low capacitance, shielded and cold welded connectors. Buy equal lengths (not custom) and try them. You can return them but... | |
| An unusual problem It may help if the sub was right next to your seat. In phase and lower volume. Or headphones. | |
| Audirvana vs Roon Thank you all. | |
| Audirvana vs Roon I like the software that loads the songs into RAM and plays from there and not the hard drive. Does Roon do this? I couldn’t be sure from the website. | |
