| can't stream in hi-res on Roon HELP @erik_squires The core is on WiFi. My downstairs system (endpoint) is connected directly to the router. The upstairs system (endpoint) is also on WiFi. I don't have a WiFi mesh node in my office by the computer. Perhaps that is why hi res work... | |
| can't stream in hi-res on Roon HELP @fuzztone I have a mesh WiFi system with three "nodes" spread through the house. My Roon Core is my iMac (desktop) and it connects to the internet via WiFi. My main system is connected directly to the router with an ethernet cable as the main sy... | |
| can't stream in hi-res on Roon HELP thanks for the suggestions guys. So I used the blue sound app in my upstairs system using WiFi and it worked just fine with the highest res files in Qobuz so it seems it's a problem with Roon. Maybe getting a dedicated computer to be the core is... | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! +1 @tvad I still consider myself somewhat of a beginner audiophile but one of the things I fell for early on was, what is being advertised the most is not necessarily the best. Seek advice from folks who aren't trying to sell you stuff (like on t... | |
| Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts? My experience is limited but I have a little experience with the MHDT DACs. I have the Pagoda (non-balanced) and I really like it but I prefer my Chord Qutest. The Qutest has better bass and treble extension, and better detail. The Pagoda defin... | |
| what is the advantage of having a Roon core that's not on your computer? besides taxing the CPU of my mac and causing interruptions to the stream (which is very annoying) are there any notable improvements to the quality of the sound? When you say the mac is introducing noise, what is that exactly? Please excuse my i... | |
| Tekton Electron SE I'm a fellow Electron SE owner. I love them. Wish I would have sprung for the single Be tweeter though. Sometimes I miss a little "air" in the sound | |
| Buying a DAC when you can't try it first I have both the MHDT Pagoda (with a NOS Bendix tube) and the Chord Qutest. Both are fantastic sounding DACs but pretty different sounding. The Chord is more resolving. Everything is crystal clear. Bass is deeper and punchier. Vocals are cleare... | |
| Amps for driving Tekton Electron SE Josh,I have the Electron SEs and I'm driving them with a Pass XA30.5 and a Linear Tube Audio microZOTL 2 as a preamp. I love this combination. I can't say enough nice things about the LTA piece. Especially if you get some NOS tubes in there. I... | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC So I got the MHDT Pagoda today and put it up against the Qutest. I know I need to let the Pagoda break in so it's not quite a fair comparison yet. It was very interesting. I like aspects of both. The Pagoda has a fuller richer tone. More meat... | |
| Looking for new amp for Tekton Electron SE @morganc I ended up getting a Pass XA30.5 amp and an LTA MZ2 preamp. I couldn't be happier@joshindc I got the 8ohm version. Works great with the Pass amp. Not sure what would work best for the impedance of your 300B SET amp. I have not yet t... | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC Thanks everyone for this discussion. It has been very informative! I've looked up many of the R2R DACs that you guys have suggested and there are so many interesting-looking choices. In the end, I had to choose something so I went with an MHDT ... | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC Thanks everyone for your responses! I'll look into the Audio Note idea and the Audio Mirror Toubador III. I'm still considering the MHDT Orchid. I've heard mixed things about the multibit offerings from Schiit but they offer a great value. (I ... | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC @cat_doorman,My vinyl setup is a Rega P3 with all the upgrades (neo psu, white belt, groove tracer everything) and an apheta 2 cart. Phono stage is an Avid Pellar | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC thanks djones51, The qutest does have some filters that you can enable to warm things up a bit. 3 levels of it but there isn't any fine tuning available. I find though that the DAC retains its character with the highs rolled off a little with t... |
