| Another person going digital and full of questions Lots of good stuff out there for that Budget. The Lumin U2 mini I am sure will be suggested at $2.5K The Moon Mind 2 is proly in the same class as the Lumin for $2.5K Saves cash to put toward a new DAC. If your open to used that opens the Door... | |
| To Roon or not to Roon? Little clip of the iPAD functioning as the Roon controller and Endpoint. Qobuz-->RoonCore--iPAD-USB-24/192-->DAC-->AudioEngine https://www.dropbox.com/s/e8yls87g0358a7u/IMG_5190.MOV?dl=0 | |
| To Roon or not to Roon? I tried Roon on my MAC Mini as a trial. Didn't like the setup with all the MAC updates and the flaky behavior of my old Mac Mini (slow). I work with DB servers as a living and have affinity for dedicated hardware. So I jumped in with both feet... | |
| Streamer Recommendation Used BDP-2 goes for around $1.5K. I have seen used BDP-2 with the upgraded board for $1.7K. Later you could set up Roon and use the BDP as an endpoint. | |
| Bryston Bda3 vs 3.14 Streamer What streaming service you got? Manic Moose only supports Tidal and Qobuz but a bunch of internet radio. Any locally stored files or interest in that? Any interest in playing CDs or ripping them to storage. Any interest in exploring ROON? | |
| New Transformer I live in a 60 year old mid century home with the power line running down behind all the houses on the block. I have always been amazed at how reliable our power has been the 25 years I have lived here. But over the last 12 months we would hear... | |
| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? Okay, so what all would you recommend for someone just getting into this hobby? Bail, and spend your money on dialing in a digital setup and a music service before you waste good money on crappy recordings and overpriced new releases. | |
| Streamer on Office WiFi? This day and age , at my company , bringing up a personal device on a corporate network is a huge no. Even plugging in a USB device to a laptop is grounds for disciplinary action. Threat vectors abound. | |
| RIP Touch @mahler123 The point with the touch is having access to a vast library that you check out to a mobile device with the ability to quickly and simply change it then take it offline. It works with iOS, I have tested it on my iPAD and iPhone, see li... | |

| Competitive class D amp suggestions How is the PS Audio Gear? I had S300 for several years. Sounded great. Ran cool and powerful for a $1.5K amp. Not ever a problem. Only sold it to try class A/B as I had always ran D. Might try the mono blocks someday. https://www.stere... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions PS Audio is now having a sale on all their class D amps. Pickup a couple M700 mono blocks for little over $2K. | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC You might take a look at the PS Audio Direct Stream DAC. Its FPGA based and they have a purdy good reputation for service. They used to have a try and buy (satisfaction guarantee) and I think they will take existing equipment on trade if your... | |
