    Re: On the future of Roon...

    And I am finding just the opposite. I guess all the other components and gear contribute to the overall experience. Having all your music on a NAS is a big hit, lower-level processors, cpu, ram and...

    I agree on the premise of your post but disagree in that Apple works every time. I helped my buddy work through his setup using his Apple when I stayed with him prior to retirement. It was...

    Re: On the future of Roon...

    I remember those days before Windows 95 version 2; the first OS to introduce USB. Times before were "interesting"; having to set your comm ports, and Config.sys file, and autoexec.bat files to move...

    Nope... some thunderstorms of course. I think Florida has had more Tornados than Wichita since we have been here :). Actually, Wichita does not have a history of Tornados... South in Oklahoma seems...

    Re: Go Figure... Tubes

    I am kind of liking the central US so far. I lived East (Upstate NY), and West Coast (Central Coast of California), but Wichita seems pretty nice. Big enough to get you most everything (except for...

    Re: Reference 8b

    I personally would doubt you will get a better match to your Reference 5s than the matching Reference 8b sub. KEF does indeed make some really good subs. I am constantly amazed at how good the tiny...

    Re: Schiit Jotunheim 2

    This is my point. It all comes down to what works best for each of our needs and desires. When I give opinions, it is purely based on my wants and desires. I do try to give my reasoning for why I...

    Re: Schiit Jotunheim 2

    I hope you enjoy it. My biggest issue with the Lyr+ is that it is single ended only. I will not consider a headphone amp that is not fully balanced at this point in time.

    I was considering the...

    Re: McIntosh MI502

    After talking with McIntosh techs, I decided to go with their standard line A/B amplifiers. He said that the Class D amps are nice, but for a music only system the standard line A/B amplifiers sound...

    Very glad it worked for you. I would have given McIntosh a quick call. They answer their phones are amazingly helpful! I am sure they would have told you the same thing. Knowing them they might...

    It has been a while so I thought I would check in and say how amazing the McIntosh gear is. For me they are the system I have always wanted. Sure, some of their higher models would be nice, but my...

    I am not sure what you mean by DSD via USB being an issue. DSD through USB has always worked perfect for me. You might be referring to using a Windows based machine versus open-source Linux that...

    I am a bit confused. You are concerned with reports of better sounding software, but when looking for a new headless server you want it to run Roon Core??? Roon Core is the Roon Server software......

    Do you power the Abyss AB1266 with the Schiit Lyr+ amplifier? That is awesome that the Schiit amps can power such amazing high-end headphones! In my view they are the finest headphone on the market!
