Mr Peabody replied to a thread CD ripping directly onto a music server. in Computer/Digital Audio

Why not buy the ACS30? Or, add the ACS10 to your existing N20. You can hook up an existing hard drive to the ACS and adding an ACS gets you future easy ripping/storing. metadata can be changed by the Aurender app or computer.

They incorporated a streaming platform of Arcam's to use in their 5000 Mark Levinson home series. The same bay be true for some of their other lines, I'm just not sure. Acquiring Roon was a good move for Harman and has lot of potential for their...

Didn't Roon also recently introduce a feature for car audio use? Something about being able to play your music library in the car.

Mr Peabody replied to a thread CD ripping directly onto a music server. in Computer/Digital Audio

I may not understand what you are looking for. The Aurender ACS10 rips the CD directly to the internal HD. A entry solution the Bluesound Vault. The Aurender ACS100 I believe does as wellbut I'm not as familiar. The ACS10 has 8TB storage with 8...

"Back drop" would be more of the noun. I gave 3 contrasting examples in my original post to try to illustrate what I'm talking about. Although those systems may have depth and expand beyond the speakers there is an aspect of the space from where...

I'm talking about a character of sound stage I've observed in many systems, in many rooms and locations. You made it clear you have no idea to what I speak of. I feel it's best at this point for you to just move on. I don't mean for that to sound...

If the 7004 was, an improvement then the 8006 would be a good move. Plus, it would have synergy with your 6004. I don't know pricing but Vincent Audio might be an option for an amp as well being a German company. I believe the products are made...
