| Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it I've been using Roon since 2017 and I have a lot of experience with it. I've built maybe 10 different Roon servers/cores, possibly more. Some Windows 10/11, some Ubuntu. I don't know MacOS well enough to try my hand at that. In the end, what ... | |
| Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG What would be the mechanism for increased quality? For video, increased bandwidth could increase bitrates. But I don’t see that applying to audio, nor to be needed. | |
| Fun read... By the author's definition, audiophilia would suck. | |
| Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers! Multichannel can be really fun if you have the right setup. I don't use a crappy receiver - I use an Oppo BDP-105 outputting multichannel analog into a Marantz pre-pro set at pure analog and then XLR out to good amps. The sound is quite good...d... | |
| How do you add remote control to a preamp, here's how. I don't like the idea of multiple preamps. You can only harm the sound here. If you have to have remote volume control, I suggest it is better to get a preamp that has it. | |
| Looking for a new Subwoofer Definitely go with two subs over one, Totally agree. I run 5 and its even better. I love the REL subwoofer sound. Consider finding 2 used RELs. They don't have to match, but probably best if they do. Mine don't. | |
| Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer Whether the DDC could help depends a lot on your DAC. It could help, or it could be "redundant" to internal DAC electronics. I do echo the idea of a streamer though. Not just for POTENTIAL sound improvement but overall function. That is, if you... | |
| Transparent Audio power cords I honestly don’t understand why these threads always have to devolve into nonsense. I’d say they start with nonsense and resist evolving into useful dialog. But that doesn’t mean cable believers can’t discuss what they want. Just don’t get upse... | |
| Battle of the Older DAC ASR is a data point, that’s all. It’s neither useless nor the last word in audio. However Amir does have a large group of followers who amplify his opinions and it can get really over the top. Anyway, I would say that opinions on DACs here won’t ... | |
| No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy? I’m not into fake reviews but the FTC can barely do its day job. How about let’s make sure that we have competition in grocery stores before we worry about what freebie someone gets for posting their whatever online. Sorry... I just haven’t been ... | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? Systems can be detailed without being bright. Or at least without being too bright. Detail may mostly be associated with treble but I find that real detail goes all the way down to the subs. | |
| Six DAC Comparison My point is that if the Benchmark is providing "state-of-the-art measured performance," then one could reasonably presume that the other five DACs, which sound different from the Benchmark, do not share similar ’state-of-the-art" measurements and... | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system I suggest the OP could use a few more direct thoughts on what he experienced, which was that a switch in preamps provided engaging midrange but a lack of bass and soundstage...perhaps that means HF detail to pinpoint stereo image? Keep in mind th... | |
| Why can I feel vibration when I touch my network switch or streamer? Unless you keep your network gear under your pillow and it keeps you from sleeping, I'm not sure why having a network switch vibrate is of concern. | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used I agree. People just want to spend and upgrade. Those B&Ws are fantastic speakers and it's likely you have placement and toe-in work to do, maybe room treatment. The speakers are winners. |
