Re: Transferring Ripped CDs From An External HD To Roon Nucleus
Yes, we’ve been talking. He had some issues that first had to be resolved as Roon kept crashing.

Re: Transferring Ripped CDs From An External HD To Roon Nucleus
I am very glad you got it working... that is awesome!
I doubt you would hear a difference between a 10' and a 16' USB cable. Unless you can move the external drive near your Nucleus and use a much shorter cable I would not worry about it. Just keep it however it is most convenient for you.
Knowing Mike, I had a sneaking suspicion that he was communicating trying to assist Bluegrass in the background.McIntosh C49, MC152, MR85, R778 | T+A DAC 8 DSD | KEF LS50 Meta w/S2, KC62 (x2) | Rega RP8, Ania Pro, NEO PSU | Technics SL-1500C | Audio Technica VM750ML | Hexmat Eclipse, Yellow Bird, Molekula, Molekula Mini | Pro-Ject VC-E | Falcon NW PC Server (Roon Core & HQPlayer) | Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (Roon Controller) | Wyred 4 Sound ISO Recovery, DC Recovery | Abyss Diana Phi | Schiit Jotunheim 2 | Astell&Kern SE200 | Oppo BDP105

Re: Transferring Ripped CDs From An External HD To Roon Nucleus
Haven't had the opportunity yet but it will be interesting to compare the ripped CDs SQ to streamed music (Qobuz and Tidal).

Re: Transferring Ripped CDs From An External HD To Roon Nucleus
Thank you, Peter. I appreciate your kind words. I'm well aware that I can be a nuisance at times, mostly because of my lack of basic computer and technical knowledge. But I'm learning. And these kinds of experiences help to further that. I still have a long way to go to be at the level of most people on The Audio Shark. I hate being a newb though.

The one advantage I did have is that I worked in the technology field so I was not at all intimidated by computers and technology.
My feelings are do not ever feel that a question is not worth asking. I think you will find that many of us understand where you are coming from and will do our best to help.
I am glad you have been able to get your system working to your liking.

Re: Transferring Ripped CDs From An External HD To Roon Nucleus
Wow! Been listening to my ripped CDs. The streamed music from Qobuz and Tidal sounds really good. But the ripped CDs sound wonderful. They sound just a little more robust and "energized." Maybe slightly more open. Not sure how to describe it. It's just.....gooder!

Randy, how do I listen to DSD? Does it require another component?

Re: Transferring Ripped CDs From An External HD To Roon Nucleus
I would think your MSB would have the capability of decoding DSD files. (Check with Mike to be sure). You can download DSD albums from HDTracks, NativeDSD, and more. Then put these in a folder on your External drive just like you did your CD rips. DSD has higher levels just like PCM... DSD64, DSD128, DSD256, DSD512, etc., the same as PCM has 44.1Khz (CD quality), 48Khz, 96Khz, 192Khz, etc.

Re: Transferring Ripped CDs From An External HD To Roon Nucleus
Please verify what level DSD your DAC can work with. In my view, the higher you can get the better. Obviously the selection is less on DSD then other formats, but the ones you find are superb, in my view. I also believe that anything in any level DSD is well worth the listen!

Re: Transferring Ripped CDs From An External HD To Roon Nucleus
After checking out some DSD albums I can see they're not the kind of albums you purchase by the arm full. They're a little pricey. But years ago I would occasionally treat myself to a direct to disk album. They were also pricey, back in the '70s. But, man, they sounded so good.

Your experience with ripped CDs surmises why CD players and transports are being phased out (disclosure: I have not played my CD player since before the pandemic!)
