| Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound I’m using a Lumin product, streaming from a Synology NAS. I found that I needed much updating to my music library, but am willing to “do the work”. There is a native UPNP server app that runs on the Synology. I looked at the rune set up and fou... | |
| IS there such an animal? My old BDP103 will play them, if you turn on HDCD processing. | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? I’m consistently mystified by uploaded YouTube videos with the idea of judging system or music quality. However, I do like this discussion. | |
| Preamp Opinion Try out the Parasound P6. Dead quiet, and flexible. | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search Yes to Denon. I’ve sold many over my audio sales days. And yes, definitely upper range for better, more natural sound. Currently auditioning an open-box Denon DCD-1600 - a pure CD/SACD player, no ins and outs, just a straight player with no frills... | |
| Music Direct and my recent exoeriences A: never had an issue with AA. B: can’t call and speak with a human at MD. Left a message, no reply. Just sayin’ | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO I’ve been very happy and impressed with my Rel T9iand the T9x is incrementally better. Very musical yet punch with home theater. Hi or Low input. | |

| HiRes lossless FLAC Radio streams Lumin App 7.0.6 still requires a login. I have the latest IOS and have not seen the update you speak of. What is your app version? | |
| Referent point “And who is this mythical “tech” you speak of?”😜😂😂😂 good point. In the lack of self-assured knowledge, a phantom ‘agreement’ is often needed. This is about the 5th time I’ve seen this “discussion”…. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? OP, is streaming in your future? | |
| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? @isochronism “I recall a sign above the counter of various service shops stating their hourly rate. XX per hour. XXXX if you watch.”It’s xx if you watch; xxxxx is you worked on it first. Mine also had,”We’ll make this the best thing you’ve ever h... | |
| Cables that measure the same but (seem?) to sound different @denverfred,Exactomundo 😎I just finished rereading Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. This is not to say that people who like particular cable more than another or deluded. | |
| older CD transport vs newer ones. As I was looking for a streamer, the Cambridge Audio 851N came up. It is built like a tank and sounded good. But the Technics SLG-700 was a revelation in build and sound quality. Tray load was solid, but one has to carefully place the CD… $3,000 r... | |
