    It is a little unfair to say that a certain company is " only about the money " . I think its only fair for you to exhaust the options of communicating with the company directly before you post on line that they re only about the money . I personally have no affiliation with them , nor do I yet...

    What features of Roon are worth the price? Compensate for Roon’s poorer sound quality?

    Thanks to you both , I guess when I am done setting up the Antipodes I would have to go to Tidal for Streaming given the integration with Roon. Having said that , this the first thread where I am reading that some are questioning the playback quality of Roon . It seems to have quite an accolade...

    Antipodes DX3 vs DX2

    All these years using Macs never occurred to me that Apple drives would be locked as a peripheral for anything other than Mac computers !! Kenny I still think I am better off buying another PC based dvd drive and hooking it directly to the CX as opposed to ripping through the Mac to an...

    Antipodes DX3 vs DX2

    tD19 , thank you, I am curious though why cant the Apple drive connect to the CX using the USB input designated for external Drive/NAS ?
