| New computer for Streaming???? I don’t think it really matters unless you use Roon. I moved to Roon for ease of use and ability to seamlessly integrate my music collection with Qobuz and the ability to identify and direct music to multiple systems around my home. In my case I ... | |
| New computer for Streaming???? You need a computer to run the application used to search, select and play music from a streaming service like Tidal, Qobuz, etc. If you use Roon, like many of us do, the computer is used to store the Roon meta data database and the Roon applica... | |
| Bricasti M3 In the house I moved from a PS Audio w/streamer to a Bricasti M3 w/streamer. Everything I look for got better. Sound stage expanded, more separation better bass and all my streaming issues disappeared. No more connection issues, drop outs or pauses. The Bri... | |
| dropout streaming If using Roon where is your Roon database? I had a similar problem and ended up moving to a dedicated music server from Small Green Computer (i5). Prior to moving I was running Roon on my MacBook which was using Wi-Fi. Now run Roon app on phone... | |
| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 If the laptop and Bricasti are on the same home network you should not have to hard wire the laptop to the Bricasti assuming you are hardwired to your network using the Bricasti Streamer Card. The application on you laptop should find your Bricas... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. I think it is more of an awareness of sound, equipment, market and a conversational interest in sound quality. Cost is just what you think you can afford to spend. An audiophile is aware of brands and those products that standout in their budget... | |
| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 congrats. I run Roon because have a few different endpoints in my house a couple of sonus system. I think you will really enjoy the Bricasti. Keep us posted. | |
| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 Do not over look the upgrade path offered and demonstrated but Bricasti along with resale market. Great build quality, great company to work with and shows up in many reviews. I started with an M3 and then upgraded to an M1SE and now own an M1 se... | |
| New Speaker advice When I listened to Vandy’s I came with the same impression as @soix. I was just wondering what you were trying to fix. I traveled the same path some time ago and ended up with almost two different systems in the same room. It can be a slippery ... | |
| New Speaker advice What don’t you like about the 3A’s? I like many suggest looking for a good pre with an ht bypass. May be look at a used Modwright or something similar. Listen to the 3A’s with and without the subs. You might be surprised. | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade @rocketiii - Put my MkIII's in this afternoon. Listening to them as I respond. Everything you said is true. More detail in the "upper" midrange, cleaner / more separation and a little bigger sound stage. I think the sound stage got deeper. I'... | |
| Preamp for a GaN-FET amp... I kind of went down the same path. Moved from tubes to class D (AGD). I had a Cary SLP-05 and found the combo to be wonderful in my room. I tried running DAC (Bricasti M3 at the time) directly into amps and found missing a little life and soul.... | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade Just ordered the new MKIII. By the way Alberto is an overall great person and wonderful to work with. Just saying. | |
| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade I've owned Spica's, Apt Holman, Cary (still use SLP-05), and at 65 love the weight, heat, sound and look of my Audions. Having been in this hobby for 40 years there are a few products that change direction and I believe AGD is one of those produc... | |
| Nuclues plus bricked I cant from a technical / hardware perspective. From experience, it allowed me to load all my music on dedicated SSD, stopped all the interrupts I was experiencing using my laptop as my Roon core and did not break the bank. Andrew Gillis, owner ... |
