    Anthem STR and USB Connection

    Is anyone in these parts using an Intel NUC with Roon ROCK and have it connected vis USB to the Anthem STR preamp/integrated amp? Anthem recommends Windows or Mac, but curios if anyone else has tried ROCK and been successful without have to buy other equipment to make it work. Regards, Sonnie

    At Last! My new baby has been delivered?

    Thanks for the info on the pre-outs. I've not heard of very many users that have had issues running Dirac. All of my laptops I use are 64-bit... did not even realize 32-bit was still in play. Have you reached out to Dirac Live support about the .dll file?

    At Last! My new baby has been delivered?

    It allows bass management of multiple subwoofers (bass optimization within Dirac Live)... and the sub pre-outs will be XLR. I'm curious if Dirac sets the timing between mains and sub with the current RCA sub pre-outs? I assume the current sub pre-outs are summed.

    I'd really like one of these... have the M17 v2 now and it's nice, but looking for something with a better DAC, and this one if implemented right, should be among one of the better ones. However, I think I'll wait until they get the bass control modules ready.

    NUC - Roon Rock or Win10 Pro

    Hello there Kal... fancy seeing you here. I just found this place. They are all on top of this stuff pretty well it seems. I run Dirac Live on my NAD M17 as a Roon endpoint, no issues, but Convolution has to run on the Roon Core from what I understand. Regards, Sonnie

    NUC - Roon Rock or Win10 Pro

    I currently have a laptop running Roon Core at the moment, but looking to go the server route. I will continue to use my laptop as the controller, but I’ve found that when I’m doing some other things on my laptop that it can cause some audio drop outs. The server will be placed in another room...
