    Orchestra in a small room - Is it possible?

    Tom, Your post at least helps me to orient myself as to what sort of effort will be required. This knowledge is a step in the right direction for me. My system is as follows. Don't feel obligated to dig into it. But any advise from someone with such long experience could save some miles on the...

    Orchestra in a small room - Is it possible?

    That is encouraging to hear. I have no expectation to ever get the illusion I am sitting in a concert hall. But I do want the experience to be enjoyable and without cringes at crescendo. The two most glaring limitations at present are garbling of complex passages and a digital glare with certain...

    Orchestra in a small room - Is it possible?

    My system has recently developed to a place where I can begin to see the real appeal of reproduced orchestral music. Until this point, the limitations of my system had frankly left it uninteresting. But my system is barely capable of making it appealing. Is it possible to create a system that...

    Best Playback Software: Roon, Euphony, Audionirvana, HQPlayer...??

    Yes, I have spent many hundreds of dollars on software in attempts to better Euphony Stylus, mainly in search of an improved interface. Stylus still wins by a significant margin.

    Best Playback Software: Roon, Euphony, Audionirvana, HQPlayer...??

    Best Playback Software: Roon, Euphony, Audionirvana, HQPlayer...??

    I have heard that about dCS Mosiac more than once. Unfortunately it seems it is exclusive to their product line. I just bought a Lampizator Atlantic TRP which I am very fond of so will need to fine another route.

    Best Playback Software: Roon, Euphony, Audionirvana, HQPlayer...??

    This is a configuration I have not tried, with the more powerful machine as the endpoint and the server as Roon Core. Some time ago I had a configuration with a Sonore Mircrorendu as endpoint, which was dead sounding compared to direct from a single, more powerful, tweaked server. I am going to...

    Best Playback Software: Roon, Euphony, Audionirvana, HQPlayer...??

    This is a common journey in our particular endeavor and not unvisited topic. But given the rapid pace of change in this domain I thought it would be useful to see what others are discovering. A little background: I started using Roon a couple of years ago. Have used it in a single server setup...
