| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @cakyol so, you are never wrong and everyone else is a "phool". nice. | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Good thread, thanks to OP and all. It inspired me to try upgrading my ethernet cables between a Bonn N8 network switch and a Roon Nucleus. I opted for Audioquest Cinnamon (about £100 each / solid copper core with silver) and have had very good r... | |
| Question about I2S thanks. appreciated. | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? Yes, and preferably with a Linear Power Supply. | |
| Subwoofer for music, how low? if you go SVS then def the Pro version. remote adjustments are key to good integration i have two svs 1000 pro and apps use REW software and microphone to help with positioning and eq etc. | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. in my view, it's best to have the streamer and DAC as one unit so the signal path is shorter (no cables needed) and no conversion of the signal which remains as I2S. The best music server is a Roon nucleus (or cheaper copy) with LPS. | |

| a remarkably basic question about Roon You can also buy third party "ROON Nucleus" servers running a dedicated Linux software which are much cheaper and just as good, as the official version. These servers only use SSD memory so produce no noise and you can add a LPS as well, making t... | |
| a remarkably basic question about Roon If you haven't tried ROON it might appear to be unnecessary, but once you have used it for a few weeks and discovered what it can do, you will want to keep it. Just noting the OP said the music was louder using ROON, i found that reducing the ROO... | |
| Ayon S-10 Mk 2 with ROON / Tips for better SQ Hi Spatial The filter was created in REW (free software but you need to buy a USB mic) and then uploaded it into ROON via the DSP settings. ROON call it a Convolution file. I have a cheaper copy of a ROON Nucleus which does exactly the same job... | |
| Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money? I had this experience with a Silent Angel network OCXO switch with LPS - more detail and resolution but to the point where it was sometimes too much (recording dependent) I found that the issue was down to weaknesses in the rest of the audio chai... | |
| Bye Bye Puppy! After several hours of speaker re-positioning and measuring with REW I was still very unhappy with the bass and imaging.it was really making me sad! This evening I double checked to see if I had wired the speakers correctly and they were in opposi... | |
| What are the current useless terms in this "audio world" "very neutral" - there are no degrees of neutral. | |
| Bye Bye Puppy! @geekster - nice contribution and appreciated. My first impressions are that they are a world apart from the puppy's and I am amazed at the midrange clarity and separation. The soundstage is incredible and envelopes the listener.The upper mids may... | |
| Bye Bye Puppy! thank you hshifi and all above for your generous good wishes and positive feedback. 🙏🏻This upgrade has taken a long time to finance and I was lucky to be able to stretch the funds and find a preowned pair on a very good deal (less than half of ret... |
