Computer updated and now Roon is blocked
You may want to try the dealer that you bought it from.  I had a similar issue and had to go into my settings on my iPhone (in your case computer) and reset a several of them.  Where are you located?  
WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Switching from SS amps to tubes was one of the best moves  I have made in my system. I went from McIntosh 1.25kwh Monoblocks to an Audio Research Ref160S. Have not missed my McIntosh at all. Much better SQ all the way around. You may want to find ... 
How good does my system have to be to realize an improvement with cables?
Since many of us have “upgraditis” I bought the best cables I could afford knowing that I will probably upgrade my dac at some point. I went with Transparent Power cord and Transparent XLR’s with Reference Quality. I have a Lumin T2 and when I swi... 
Silver Speaker Cables
@gnoworyta  Having used and experienced both I found that silver provided more detail and an improved soundstage.  They can, however, brighten your music a bit too much.  I am not sure of your amp and speaker combo but that also plays a big role.... 
Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital?
@m-db  Lumin T2 and Roon Nucleus+.  Way under 10K OR used Lumin X1 and Roon Nucleus+ also throw in a NAS drive and you are still under 10K if you get the Lumin T2. Let us know how you make out with your decision!

Looking for Speaker Recommendations
@wast314  Couple things to consider....have you listened to your new Ma9500 with speakers that you liked?  Mac sounds good with some speakers better than others.  I just recently upgraded from my Mac to a new Audio Research set up and also got ne... 
NEED TO REPLACE OLD FAITHFUL- WHICH AMP. SHOUD I CHOOSE
@motorheadflash  Within the past year I have upgraded from McIntosh monoblocks to the Audio Research 160S. I liked it so much I got the Ref6SE. To be honest, I was a bit nervous but have never looked back. In the future I will add the reference p...

Congrats!  Happy for you and your upgrades!  Enjoy and keep us posted on future changes and discoveries!  
Lumin U2 Mini
@malibu457  I think the level of streamer you buy depends on your system.  Having just recently demoed Innuos and MSB products the SQ was way above any CD player I have heard.  
SQ difference XLR vs RCA ?
Based on my experience XLR has always sounded better.  I can't think of a single time when I used XLR's that I wish I had used RCA.  
Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...

Lumin U2 Mini
I have a Lumin T2 and just recently demoed the Innuos.  Based on my experience the Lumin is the easier and more reliable of the two.  I had an issue early on with my Lumin and connected directly with the distributor in California and they walked m...
