| Best streamer to replace my Mac Mini? @jastralfu - yeah, i am retired SWE as well. I don't want Roon either so I went with Aurender, they have standalone app. | |
| Best streamer to replace my Mac Mini? @jastralfu - yeah, I get that. Although 5 years is enough to write *a lot* of code really. However, the comment was "that the operating system alone, took five years at a considerable cost" - hence my question. | |
| Best streamer to replace my Mac Mini? @audiotroy - site says it runs RTLinux, so what did take 5 years of development? | |
| Best streamer to replace my Mac Mini? I'd say check software that controls the unit first. Many streamers pretty much require Roon. I don't want to pay for sub, so I got Aurender. | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming Ethernet cables won't make any difference. I'd be looking at the DAC. Or change the streamer, maybe borrow some other model. See if it makes a difference. Perhaps CPU overheats or something. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? @bottomzone - AI will add variations and 'individual behavior', different every evening. AI can learn what is different in each performance and generate slight changes every time you listen, if you want it to. 'Emotions' are perfectly measurable. ... | |
| APS PUREPOWER 1050 Regenerator Did you try contacting the manufacturer? | |
| Fosi LC30 amp/speaker switcher experience? My concern would be with disconnecting and reconnecting speakers hot, when power amplifier is running, potentially with signal passing. | |
| Does anyone have a good or bad experience using a PC server rack for audio equipment? I think you can, if you wish, build an absorption platform and place it under the rack. Say, buy and cut plywood to size, cover with thick rubber (yoga mat or polymer garage flooring), another wood, different density rubber, another plywood sheet,... | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @soix - details please. How does power cable or linear power supply affect running code in the CPU or a network card operation.. No, no one actually offer anything apart from "just listen". You can just rest your case now, you obviously don’t und... | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @total111 - the question is indeed purely digital. It is about streamer as a computer. Streamer makes network requests to the cloud and routes packets over USB. Analog conversion is a different subject. There is no analog in the streamer. So the ... | |
| Denafrips -Bashing Denafrips New 12th anniversary models @rikkipuu Every company at some point moves on. Apple does not provide means to install iOS 17 on iPhone 5. So yes, at some point you can't upgrade software and have to buy a new unit. DDC and DAC are just fancy computers. | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection | |
| Power Cables @zlone - Agreed about analog. "Experts" at company that sells you things? Mmmmm - no :-) Proper statement is here - and this is actually really good network switch etc. BUT as actual DAC engineer from Denafrips says - you don't need one. | |
| Power Cables @knownothing - correct. However, the topic is about purely digital system such as streamer without DAC, or a LAN cable “filtering” device. You have network cables running on top of your tube amp? Sure, shielding might help. Power cable for a netwo... |
