Roon Nucleus as a Streamer

I do like the idea of SGC option as the Sonic Transporter is a Roon core, that allows you to connect optically to your DAC rather than USB, thus giving you complete galvanic isolating, in turn giving you the best black background, I would think.

This is a much more costly option than Nucleus direct to DAC. Without out hearing it first, I'm not sure if it's worth the additional costs. Maybe more money should be spent on a better quality DAC?

big_greg - Thanks Greg. I tried to pull up your system, but it wouldn't load for me? I just wanted to check it out.

Off the subject, when you reply on these thread how do you get the @ in front of the members handle when you reply, like this:

@big_greg

I don't have a virtual system.  I've thought about it, but never find time.  Not to mention I have 4 systems and rotate a lot of gear through the main system, so I'd constantly be updating.  That has slowed down, so maybe someday...

Here's the digital part of my system - 

Roon Nucleus

Aqua La Voce S3 DAC

Connected to a Herron Audio VTSP-360 preamp, Ampzilla 2000 Second Edition monoblock amps, KEF Reference 1 speakers.

To get the "@" just type @ and the person's "handle" and it should show up.  Might take a few seconds and can be finicky on mobile devices. 

@big_greg Hey, it worked! Thanks for the tip.

Awesome system Greg, my dream DAC!

@navyachts  I'm really happy with the Aqua DAC. I find myself getting frustrated that I can't get my more expensive vinyl front end to sound as good.
