| To Roon or not tvadJust noticed that roon takes -6DB to run. Do you think this is the difference I'm hearing? I mean, duh, a bit louder would sound "better."Do you think running Roon from an iPad (in turn running a computer) would degrade sound? My amp needs an... | |
| To Roon or not No doubt UI is far better than native LUMIN UI. Will they upgrade it down the road? It’s lagging. Even iTunes was much better! Tvad and Erik are you using a computer to run Roon? Using a streamer of just a computer? TIA. | |

| Power Conditioning / Surge Protection Regardless of what you do have a whole house surge protector installed! Please. There are so many reasons to do so, too many to re-list here. I use an Audioquest Niagara and can’t hear any difference verses when the Amp is plugged into the wall. A... | |
