| Downsize from C2200/MC275 to integrated SS What about one of the Mcintosh integrateds ? Especially if you are already satisfied with the brand. 2 amps that I tested in my current (Tube pre, class A/B amp) set up with 90 db sensitivity speakers where: Hegel. (but not sure about ph... | |
| Tube DAC with i2s input? While yes the Modwright is a better unit I fear a similar thing might happen? I would be shocked if the Modwright didnt out perform the Hagerman. I mean the power supply and the transformer alone are larger than the Hagerman (not that size alo... | |
| Tube DAC with i2s input? Try Anallog Bridge down stream from current DAC | |

| Maximize Mini with Roon to match my system -- or new component? But I have a question for the forum, why not keep the Mac Mini as the Roon core and invest in a lower cost streamer that can act as a Roon endpoint? I tell me story ...again. I was streaming with a Bryston BDP-pi. Its just a Raspberry Pi im... | |
| "Wireless" Speakers for Living Room and Kitchen set up. Also I just looked at the spec sheet on the LS50 Wireless II and it supports Bluetooth so no network required if the phone/pad is good enough as a streamer | |
| "Wireless" Speakers for Living Room and Kitchen set up. SONOS pissed a bunch customers off ...twice and had to recover. Maybe they have but my buddy hates them over it all. When one of his Sonos units die’s he tosses it and finds another solution. I still have 2 old ZP90s that function as ROON end... | |
| Maximize Mini with Roon to match my system -- or new component? I ditched the Mini years ago and moved to an SGC i5 with Sonicorbiter OS to run the ROON core. Sounds way better than my Mini did. Wouldn't dream of going back. | |
| Options to improve digital sound Here is my SGC ST CPU with ROON Core streaming to 4 endpoints at once. SGC ST i5 CPU | |
| Options to improve digital sound My 2c: Do the Sonic Transport , great Roon Core host. Then pair that with the Bryston BDP-3 on here for $1.5K. The BDP makes a great Roon endpoint. You can have your attached storage off the ST and have it integrated with ROON or Hang it off t... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? CPU load with ROON simultaneously streaming to 4 endpoints. That is with upsampling a 16/44 to 96 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/75phlxo7ucpno9xmsqcbq/Screenshot-2025-06-25-at-14.38.01.png?rlkey=vwp589atr3ixnpj4dpwlk0ndo&st=47ntb758&... | |
| I own a Hegel H600 - how to upgrade? D50 dac maybe? Yeah I would look at room treatment and maybe the addition of Subs depending on the speakers you have. | |
| Looking for a more up-to-date streamer PS Audio Airlens can be found used for around that $ and the new firmware supports Qobuz connect. If you buy it new you might be able to do a try & buy but your getting close to the $2k mark then update: Airlens on sale for $1.5K and oupu... |
