How can I improve SQ of my Dell desktop/Roon set up?
Get an Ethernet-2-USB converter from Sonare, such as a microRendu and you are miles ahead. I have a similar setup on a very internally busy computer and the rendu chokes of that computer noise. Now there are even more options you can consider, suc...
