| How to get DSD working in a networked (Roon) setup? Just to close the discussion: I ended up buying an Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition and an SSD drive. Works like a charm, looks splendid and being able to store all DSD files on it is quite handy. Favourite SACD by far: KRAFTWERK - Minimum-Maximum.... | |
| How to get DSD working in a networked (Roon) setup? Thanks for your feedback @erik_squires . I've a NUC for Roon (the ROCK setup), doesn't it require more power than a Pi4B can deliver? The challenge here is that my DSD collection is very limited and kept on a USB stick. Would Roon see the stick a... | |
| How to get DSD working in a networked (Roon) setup? Dear all, just an update. I got it working but you'll never guess how. I ran into the guide below, explaining how to install a music streamer on a Raspberry Pi4B. I had one laying around by accident. So I installed Volumio on it, bought a higher ... | |
| How to get DSD working in a networked (Roon) setup? Thanks @yage - I'm like 80% convinced I've changed that 10 times to DSD but that it jumps back. I'll pay more attention to it. The "DoP for Converter" is unchecked. | |
| How to get DSD working in a networked (Roon) setup? So I plunged the deep end and turned my (work) laptop into a audio player. Installed the T+A USB driver, installed Foobar2000, installed the AISO & DSD components, etc. I found the right USB cable, connected my laptop and after some fiddling w... | |
| How to get DSD working in a networked (Roon) setup? Thanks for getting back to me. @jazzman7 : It's afaik what happens - Roon downsamples as I'm now relying on a network infrastructure rather than a USB connection with a PC. I'll take a screenshot this evening. Indeed - only through the "USB DAC... | |
| How to get DSD working in a networked (Roon) setup? Thank you for your reactions @lordmelton : a DSD album on a usb stick, not SACD The MP doesn't see DSD (*.dsf) files, so I can't plug in and play. That's exactly the issue. @jazzman7 : They are on my NAS, but Roon transforms it into PCM and dow... | |
| Sound quality of Roon Hi! Tested Roon for a month as a replacement / plan B for BlueSound OS and to connect with my T+A MP3100HV streamer. Upgraded to life time, bought a NUC using their excellent user fora and never looked back. I'm streaming in flac from my basement,... | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers I actually had Totem Forest speakers - I was looking / waiting for them for over a decade. But then... I walked into a shop and noticed the ones below even before hearing them. The metal rings almost shine and broke my heart (and wallet). I added... | |
| Which integrated amp for rock/metal (and why McIntosh?) You're welcome @waltersalas I had the REL before the Fyne's. I doubt I would buy the REL if I had the Fyne's first. They manage really well, it's surprising but as you now, they have a 360° / downfiring approach; Works well.No weakness experienced... | |
| Which integrated amp for rock/metal (and why McIntosh?) These are nice amps @mofojo ! And slightly more portable than the 40kg of the PA 3100 HV. Looks nice indeed. I admit I love the sober bulkiness of the T+A. Nothing fancy - just music. I thought about separated amps @arcticdeth. I even considered ... | |
| Which integrated amp for rock/metal (and why McIntosh?) Hi @waltersalas ,Reading the feedback about McIntosh, I started digging deeper on shipping requirements and after care. The unsettling higher cost finally tipped me over to look further, for a more local brand. Eventually, I went for a German bran... | |
| Which integrated amp for rock/metal (and why McIntosh?) Thank you for your reaction @chayro . I'm alas from Europe. Which also means the price of a McIntosh is 150% of the USA. (MA9000 = 11.000 USD => more or less 9.500 EUR ; retain price here is 14.200 EUR = more or less 16.500 USD). I bet it's the... | |
| Which integrated amp for rock/metal (and why McIntosh?) Thanks @stereo5 and @archguy for your concern. I can pick it up in the original box - so all ok on that side.After reading reviews and comparing technical sheets for hours, I'm focusing on- Hegel H590 (has all the connectivity I need)- Gryphon Dia... | |
| Which integrated amp for rock/metal (and why McIntosh?) Thank you for your feedback already. While I set out to see if the MA9000 would be a good match, the last 6 hours I got very interested in the Hegel H590 (power & connectivity), the Gryphon Diablo 300 (mentioned as the best amplifier ever). Th... |
