| what amps/subwoofers are you using for Magnepan LRS? Just ran across this earlier...https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/magnepan-magneplanar-lrs/Maybe that article prompted your question. If so, apologies. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The soundtrack from the new motion picture "Motherless Brooklyn" via Tidal. Evocative, noirish. (I love soundtrack music.) | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless + Mac Mini + ? + Radio Paradise FLAC = heaven Roon will allow internet streaming. They have a free trial and the software does not modify your library. | |
| Pro-Ject 2s Dac vs SMSL M500 (or better alternative) I like my Pro-Ject 2S a lot. I use it to listen to MQA streamed from Tidal. No quality issues at all. It's really small though.But I also like my lil Schiit stack (Modi, Loki, Magni) a lot too. And it has a bit more power to drive my Sennheiser HD... | |
| Audirvana problem I see this is unanswered so I'll send my thoughts: - Is the DAC set to the correct input?- On my MacMini/iMac/MacPro, when the program (Roon) is playing correctly in Exclusive mode, the Audio output displayed on the Apple MIDI still shows output t... | |
| Possible iOS-13 and Audioquest Dragonfly Red compatibility issue Have you directed the audio via the ios? Is it possible the audio is being directed to, say, bluetooth?At any screen, swipe up on the screen. The control center should be displayed. In the player (upper right on my iPhone) tap the little triangle ... | |
| How many of you believe in MQA? I am enjoying MQA Masters from Tidal. That first unfold provided by the Tidal app is all I need. More detail, kick drum sounds more real and the leading and trailing edge of bass notes are particularly well defined. It hasn’t cost me anything to ... | |
| Roon Endpoint with output to Bluetooth headphones If you have WIFI, wouldnt an iphone, ipad, or android phone running the Roon remote app work? Direct the audio out in the device to bluetooth. | |
| HomePod SQ update I have a stereo pair set up to listen in the near-field and I am quite pleased with them. An iPhone or iPad with a quobuz or Tidal subscription and it makes makes a nice wireless system. And it tells me the weather! ;) | |
| Wondering why... His insights and advice are always appreciated by this reader. I was glad to see his writing on his site, Twiittering Machines, after he left Audiostream/Stereophile. I wish him the best, grateful how he let us into his listening space (the Barn!... | |
| Great sounding/recorded albums Sometimes choosing a certain label will ensure a good recording. ECM and Chesky come to mind but there are others. On Tidal, look for albums by Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek, and produced by Manfred Eicher. These are in the jazz genre but are well ... | |
| Want to branch out from iTunes; several questions. @ymc226 Yes. Many many Roon users have their music files on a NAS. Some also run Roon server from a NAS but there are definite minimums to the processors and memory needed to run Roon on a NAS. Since I don’t use a NAS, I am not familiar with thos... | |
| Want to branch out from iTunes; several questions. Roon has a Community Forum where you can ask whether your Mini has the processor and memory to run Roon. My 2012 Mac Mini with an external firewire harddrive runs Roon fine but I dont ask it to upsample or do any DSP. I still use iTunes as a lib... | |
| The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste It’s by Michael Mercer! I wondered what happened to him. Interesting fellow. | |
| Apple iTunes or What Else Roon will read your iTunes library but not modify it in any way. You can continue to use iTunes to add music to your library. I’ve grown to appreciate how easy it is to use iTunes to edit the metadata of my AIFF rips done using XLD. Roon will str... |
