SPL Audio

@navyachts thanks yes while the Directors internal DAC is no slouch the RME is certainly more resolving and open sounding IMO. I wound up trying the RME into the balanced inputs of the Director and that’s how I used it. I wound up selling the treo Director/Performer/Phonos because I was itching to get into tubes but I loved the sound. Built extremely well, sounds great and looks cool! Good luck and Happy Listening!

You can stream Tidal without Roon but Roon adds a lot more body to the music. I think Tidal sounds better through Roon than JRiver. You probably Tidal by itself with whatever computer you have.use. I was using a cheap stock Hewlett Packard before I got the Wolf and it sounded much better than the Bel Canto cd3 transport I was using. A Tidal trial is free. You might be surprised with the results.

dalims4 - thanks, I'll give it a try!

My Phonos is listed in the classifieds. Like a baby bird. Cheap, cheap!

dalims4 - Gee, You speak so highly of SPL so why are you selling?
