Thanks for that report. Was there a Digital Director in that setup? Vince, and the MSB guys are very scientific, and pragmatic, in approaching issues like this. But 2k + appropriate 12v LPS is a...

We did our first downsizing 11 years ago. The kids have all moved on with their lives, out of town, and the big house (4,400 sf) needed a big makeover, and was taking a lot of effort to keep going....

I consult for a company that has some dealings with Masimo. As a physician, I have noticed the Masimo units become common place in the hospitals. Very good market penetration.

Now, being cash...

Spectacular, have fun!

Many of the BluRay drives (internal, or USB) come with a disc or download code for playback software. (But usually not the best, or partially functional)

The Bricasti M12, that I used to have had 2 different DAC boards, one for Sigma Delta, one the other for DSD only. I personally liked the sound from the DSD board. I was using Roon to resampled...

As I am still in active surgical practice, I don’t get to listen to music from system, except for the weekend. I do still want to stay married! Looking forward to retiring at the end of 2023....

I have been using a Bryston Bit15 for several years. Workhorse is a great term for these units. No better toroidal transformers than Plitron.

I’m certain that there are amps that might be limited...

The LFE business is Low Frequency Effect. If using the subwoofer primarily for multi channel video replay, LFA makes more sense. I’m not actually sure if LFA uses a different crossover point (lower)...

MSB’s Vince Galbo’s response to why they recommend only using MSB gear into the Premier headphone amp:

“I talked to our tech. The reason we limit the use of the headphone amp to are our dACs, is...

Love my Atma-Sphere “Class D” monoblocks. Light weight, cool running, more powerful than my DIY Firstwatt amps. These amps have linear power supplies, and have both RCA and balanced XLR inputs.

I made some from some black craft foam board. This has thick paper on both sides of a foam core.

I used it to block visualization of the power strip, a many cords and wall warts, not much heat in...

Looks great! How could he not be happy with that setup?

Bezel would be one word, but only for the front, not filling in the space

There are also easy to find TOSLink to RCA & HDMI to RCA adapters on Amazon. These are small, only downside is the wall wart that they all need.

I grew up in a home with DIY Klipschorn speakers powered by McIntosh Pre and MC60 monoblocks. My dad was proud of the organ sound reproduction by his system. I have a baseline.

I don’t have 15...

I had an early Sony CDP-2 (mid 80s). I also was having similar issues.

In my standard fashion, I opened up the unit, and took a peek. I discovered that several CDs had been displaced from the tray...

You could try to demo a different phono amp.

But I do agree that the rest of your rig looks to be mellow sounding. You might prefer a tubed phono pre.

I’m sure every step up brings some improvement. I stretched my budget for the MSB Premier stack. I feel secure in saying that every step up in the MSB lineup is palpable. One has to balance budget,...

At my house location, the best internet option is cable TV, and it’s a crime to see what I pay. Waiting on fiber to the home to cut the cord.

I already have some streaming accounts, wife has kept...

Holy Toledo Batman!

While you are all flocking to Tampa for the Expo, I had to work this morning. This afternoon though, I installed the new Premier Digital Director into my system, and redid the...

I'm with you Randy. My Win11 super server stayed up a total of 2 nights. I spent a large part of a weekend getting Win11 up and running, loading Roon (lifer), MinimServer (free level), and Audirvana...

Update. I moved the NUC back up to the closet, and everything working fine. Kept tabs on it via Remote Desktop on iPad. I could not tell much, if any, difference in SQ between the three servers....

Thanks @newalkyogre! The NUC13i5 that I bought came with Win11pro baked in. I did run Windows for a bit before installing ROCK over it, just so the authentication code would be tagged to my...
