| DAC/Pre-Amp Upgrade, R2R or Delta Sigma? Global difference in sound signature, not sure what that means. As long as a DAC's noise and distortion is somewhere around - 120 there isn't going to be much of a noticable difference. The thing is R2R DACs tend to not measure well so some will ... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsars with REL Sub or Perspectives in 11x11 Room? I don't know if the Perspectives would be to much as opposed to the Pulsars plus sub. My room is about 14 x 18 x 12 vaulted ceiling , the Perspectives work very well with my listening position 10 feet away. I listen at modest levels as well. With ... | |
| Benchmark ABH2 compared to Merrill Element Series and other ultra high end amps Not sure the Benchmark would be a good match if you want to look at a more modest priced alternative to the Merrills look at the Anthem M1 monoblocks. | |

You can find the specs on Roons site. https://kb.roonlabs.com/Roon_Optimized_Core_KitThe only software is ROCK it's an optimized OS to run roon has the core built in it's what's on a Nucleus.I assembled mine with an i5 in a small fanless case and ... | |
| Anyone been able to compare the SQ of Roon Nucleus vs. MacBook Air? Get a NUC and install ROCK it's about 1/3 the price of a Nucleus and does the same thing. It runs 24/7 unattended , installs any updates in the background and if you get a fanless one is quiet. If you want to use your mac book you certainly can. | |
| miniDSP with separates or Arcam SA30 or NAD C658 plus beefy power amp? You can use the SHD Studio as a streamer and Dirac but you would need a DAC. It can also be used as a roon endpoint. | |
| Directionality Explained During first stage recovery after drawing copper wire there is an internal rearrangement of the microstrcuture, second stage recrystalization recovers mechanical and electrical characteristics. If this didn't occur the wire would have microscopic ... | |
| Directionality Explained There are two stages recovery and recrystalization . Recrystalization extinguishes offsets in the drawn wire making its characteristics very close to the rods before the drawing process. If the deformations are not gotten rid of as much as possibl... | |
| Directionality Explained After it is pulled through the die it goes through annealing where recrystalization occurs. Electrons is copper bounce around every which direction voltage is applied causing charge flow. Nothing about this process would cause audible differences... | |
| Directionality Explained Audiophile effect:Adjective; audible but hides from those pesky instruments that can measure well beyond anything humans can hear. | |
| What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish Depends on the item and how many they sell. Hard to sell items I would think more of a discount. Maybe the item you're looking at isn't hard to sell? | |

| Anyone been able to compare the SQ of Roon Nucleus vs. MacBook Air? I assembled an Intel NUC and installed ROCK which is the same OS that runs on a Nucleus for about $700 and use a raspberry pi4 running Ropiee as an endpoint. The main advantage to me is the OS is optimized for Roon and the sound improved switching... | |
| Directionality Explained Nothing about wires makes them sound better in one direction compared to the other. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/miccur.html#c1 |
