I’ve used two setups for Roon: (1) USB to an asynchronous Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC from an ultraRendu with LPS 1.2, and (2) USB direct from the Mac Mini to the QB-9. Balanced analog from the DAC passes through an Ayre K-5xeMP preamp to Parasound JC 1 monoblocks that drive KEF LS50s that are augmented by KEF KC62 subs. I’m not sure I can hear a difference between the two setups, both sound very good.
Hello guys,
I'm having some doubts about purchasing an audio grade media transport or music streamer.
Wouldn't say I'm a sole PC Hi-FI dude, by recently I've been seeing a lot of reviews and articles talking about using a audio streamer to play music can certainly outperform PC playing, like the sound quality and stuff.
I normally use Roon to play music by my PC, which is not bad, but of course not heavenly I'd say haha... anyways, so recently I did some researches about some audio streamer/media transport with fair prices, there's one called Munich M1T, the price is worth a shot, and it's Roon Ready certified, but I'm just still hesitating that if I should buy it.
Can anyone share some insights with me? I'll be grateful big timeee~
