All in One Solution for Streaming
Hello @rost , I had the Bluesound Power Node for exactly this application with older KEF floor standers in both my dining room and later in my master bedroom.  It fits the bill exactly, sounded fine, and can be fairly easily sold if you upgrade l...

Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!
I know there must be more members trying Roon with their N30SA or N20.  Hoping to hear more comments comparing sound with Roon to Conductor.  
Best DAC’S $5k to $15k
In my home, the Tambaqui bested the Dave.  We did not have the M Scaler; is this Chord's streamer?  
AXPONA 2024
+1 @treepmeyer on the wincing!  I thought I was the only one to find the Borresens a bit much.  I have very resolving SS gear, yet still find these over-etched for me. Impressive in many ways yes.  I actually enjoyed their smaller speakers more.  ...

Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!
I am excited for Aurender and Roon.  I have been contemplating an N30 but want the Roon option.  I love Roon, but if Conductor sounds better I can use either.  I also hope this partnership with Aurender pushes the sound quality of Roon higher.

Please help with Roon server/core issue
Hello @atanarjuat99  it is good to do one thing at a time! I use AES from the mu1 to my Tambaqui.  I believe the magic of the Grimm happens with AES not USB.  I have tried both and AES clearly better.  I use KS Realization cables elsewhere, so I... 
Please help with Roon server/core issue
Hi Nadine,  I also only stream so I can understand your frustrations.  It can be so good and then so frustrating when it glitches.  And everyone runs to the ‘network issue’ excuse, which might in fact be very true.  So we(I) chase down every thing... 
Please help with Roon server/core issue
Yes.  And beware of wall plates, which use very cheap couplers. I run my cables through the wall at both ends, and use JCAT Ethernet couplers where required.  
Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy
Hello again @jea48 , I just finished making three wall plates with supports as you described, using the 1 1/2 inch PVC couplers. It is an elegant solution to heavy cable support, and a satisfying project! Much better than supports coming up from ...
