| Endgame Vocal+ DAC Help: Terminator Plus 12th vs. Chord DAVE vs. Holo May vs. Weiss502. I like vocals with spacing, depth and atmosphere. The Holo May will give you that in spades. I also have the Benchmark HPA4 and it makes a great combo with the May - whether listening via my Focal Utopia HPs or active ATC setup. Expansiv... | |
| Roon vs Audirvāna or other When I used to have my dac connected via USB to my computer I preferred Audirvana's sound to Roon. But since moving Roon to a separate server and streaming over Ethernet to an UltraRendu endpoint I prefer Roon. Not to mention I found Audirvana S... | |
| Anyone know where the Virtual Systems went? FWIW, I cleared the browsing history/cache on my Windows laptop - still not showing systems after clicking on ’Details’, just Discussions and Responses. | |

| Turn an Intel macmini into a music server If you live in Canada like I do, there is no access to Qobuz. So what do you do if you want a good streaming service with an amazing catalog? What about Tidal? I prefer Qobuz as I'm not an MQA fan, but I used Tidal for years and it's a mature... | |
| Did you notice.... That even great quality streamer streaming great hi-rez digital format cannot outperform cheap CD-player playing red-book CD or it's only my 'illusion'? czarivey08-31-2022 12:30am Depends how much effort you put into streaming. Not necessarily... | |
| Anyone know where the Virtual Systems went? elliottbnewcombjr 3,237 posts 09-08-2022 at 10:29pm Maybe I need to re-install windows and or Chrome, IOW it might be a quirk on my computer?? I doubt it. Doesn’t work for me on my Mac running MacOS 12.5.1, Windows 11 laptop or my Android ... | |
| Sound quality of Roon IME Roon can sound great - but SQ does vary with how you have it implemented, You won't get best SQ having Core and control on the same machine and connecting a generic computer via usb to your DAC. I posted this in another thread but I think its... | |
| Anyone know where the Virtual Systems went? sbank 3,247 posts 09-04-2022 at 12:58am There's a weird quirk. If you click on a user's name when it's below their original post in a new thread, it's disappeared. But if you click on the name of any thread responder, then the popup shows D... | |

| Does dose anyone see these speakers in real? Certainly one of the ugliest speakers I've seen. Looks like a golden turd perched on a bar stool. Hifi for the stupid rich. 😉 | |
| ATC SCM 40 question As others have indicated, I would look to some basic room treatment before changing electronics. I have the bigger 100ASLT in a room with treatment applied and have absolutely no issues listening to a very wide range of recordings. My dac/preamp ... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Uhm what? 25 to 40k budget for a dac? All you need is a 1200-2000 dollar border patrol dac. The OP has a top class system, I doubt he wants to go from a DAC with ~22 bit resolution to one with ~10 bit resolution. | |
