    Music Software for a 7.1 System

    Does anyone know if there is a media server music software that will playback 5.1 music files in 7.1? For example, some pre-pros will reproduce the rear channels for the 2 additional surround channels. I have an 8 channel DAC but Roon only plays 5.1 (unless I have something set incorrectly)...

    NADAC 8 MULTICHANNEL OUTPUT CONFIGURATION

    I have acquired a Merging Technology NADAC 8 (not the + Player) that I hope to use with a music server using ROON. However, the multichannel outputs on the back of the NADAC 8 are not labeled (Right Front, Center, Left Front, etc.). Does anyone know how to assign the outputs to the correct...

    Upgrading Right and Left Main Channels in a Multichannel System with a "High End" 2 Channel Preamp and Amp

    Thanks, Kal. I honestly had not thought about the volume control synchronization between the Luxman and Classe. I will check on using both options (using the control app in Roon or using a volume control on a multichannel DAC. Incidentally, do you know if the new Exasound e68 multichannel DAC...

    Upgrading Right and Left Main Channels in a Multichannel System with a "High End" 2 Channel Preamp and Amp

    I currently have a somewhat now dated Classe SSP-800 multichannel controller with most multichannel music coming from a Wolf Audio Alpha 3SX music server via HDMI. The multichannel amp is also a somewhat dated Lexicon L7. I would like to start updating the preamp/amp side of the system with a...

    Multichannel DACS: ESS Sabre ES9008S versus ES9038PRO

    Thanks, Kal! I had thought about the Okto but have not seen any "mainstream" reviews yet (of course, you would know on whose review we are all waiting!). As always Kal, thanks for all you do for the multichannel community!

    Multichannel DACS: ESS Sabre ES9008S versus ES9038PRO

    I have been interested in updating the DACS in my multichannel system as the DACS in my Classe SSP-800 are probably becoming somewhat outdated. The two multichannel DACs that I have interest are the ones in the exaSound E38 Mark II and the significantly more expensive Merging + NADAC. The...
