As an international here is my 0.02 ... Here in India we have had Import Tariffs on all goods for years. In the 70s and 80s it was as high as 300% on most goods. Nowadays it varies from 24% to 38% depending on the category of goods. The kicker is that local taxes stack up on top of the...

Hey Mike! Are you planning to have an Audioshark dinner this time? My plans are still fluid at the moment. I am hoping that the last two days don't suck too much. Regards .

Anybody going to Munich this year? I am going to be in Germany on work. I plan to visit on the last two days. My last Munich show as in 2017 so it's been a while since my last visit. I wish I could attend on the earlier days but I have meetings lined up till Friday. Is it worth attending if...

Joe, I'm a few months late to this thread but it makes me genuinely happy to see that you are back. Your posts and commentary had been a big reason I came to spend more time here and the place just wasn't the same without you. My sincere condolences on your mum's passing. Truly amazing that...

I gave up on Roon years ago. I use Qobuz and Spotify directly. Roon is a great software package but isn't necessary to enjoy one's music. JRiver is still king when it comes to managing my music database - effortlessly handles all that I throw at it. Even when I had Roon, I found JRiver better...

Congratulations! Those look superb. What height are those Pangea stands? At what height does Burkhardt recommend your position the mid bass driver? .

All good Mike! Really glad to know that. I was stateside last month and actually was in Tampa for a quick visit to some old friends of mine from college. I was really concerned when we got to see some of the coverage of Milton and Helene! Good to know that all is well in our favorite candy...

Haven't been visiting AS much recently but hope that you guys are safe and well down there. .

Very nice build. Looks absolutely amazing! :cool:(y)(y) .

Just adding to what nicoff has suggested, WiiM Pro - https://www.wiimhome.com/wiimpro/overview This is a dedicated streamer that is a built in computer running a dedicated OS that allows you to stream directly to your Receiver without the need to do anything with your Gaming PC. You can...

I would suggest bypassing the TV for Audio. Continue to send video to your TV but send audio to your Receiver via USB or Optical cable. .

Keep in mind that gaming hardware may not be optimal for audio. However, since gaming is your priority, use something like Fidelizer to turn off all unnecessary processes when you want to use your machine for audio. Yes. Its actually both software and hardware that is tuned to optimize your...

Tuning a PC for Audio is a vast subject. Most on here would prefer to use a dedicated streamer like an Auralic or Lumin but I am one of those who still uses a custom Win 10 machine as an audio server. Windows has a bunch of programs running in the background that are best turned off. I would...

Open Qobuz .
