    Can digital get to vinyl sound and at what price?

    This one tells you how they technically did it, and without a doubt, that's some fine use of available tech but concludes.. "So, why do I care about Pure DSD256? Same reason: it just sounds better." That's science for ya

    Analog guy upgrading the DAC (maybe Canor 2.10 or Ansuz 180) needs help ;-)

    I would actually recommend getting a new DAC and server/player. The iMac is not an ideal Roon server and streaming via ethernet isn't preferred, but I'm sure there will be many that say otherwise. The Canor 2.1 DAC looks like a nice machine, coupled with a dedicated server outputting via USB or...

    The grounding post is not user-removable, as it is secured from inside the OLADRA. Either a different power chord, cutting down the binding post or returning to Antipodes for removal are the options

    Antipodes Owners - Systems - Whats Best at Your House

    For the Sonic Transporter, it is possible that you will need to install the Qobuz plugin, I'm not sure if they come configured with the plugin already installed. For the installation and launch of the web interface, see below: Go to Apps, install Squeezebox Server from Software Manager, then...

    Antipodes Owners - Systems - Whats Best at Your House

    Honestly, only you can say if it is worthwhile, the only way is to listen. I forgot that you have the Sonic Transporter as a server, App swapping with an all-Antipodes setup only requires selecting the appropriate play-back method from the Solution Dashboard, more convoluted in your setup, and...

    Antipodes Owners - Systems - Whats Best at Your House

    All Antipodes Music Servers can have Multiple server apps enabled at the same time, with only one Player app. There is a caveat to this, when using Roon server and Squeezelite player, do not have Squeeze server enabled at the same time, as you will have mucho problem getting Squeezelite to be...

    Mixed feedback on the Antipodes forum regarding JPLAY, I have also yet to give it a go personally. Echo @kennyb123 Squeeze with Qobuz sounds great, worth a test :)

    Antipodes Audio - Updated Range and Upgrade Program - July 2023

    Hi Matt, Yes, what you propose is certainly possible, you may find that using local files on the K21 to be superior in sound, but if you are wedded to the Audivarna Studio ecosystem, then UPnP playback to a K21 utilizing MPD in "end-point" mode would be the solution.

    Roon "Error"

    You cannot use Roon for YouTube playback. Connecting your laptop via USB should work, do you have a PC, if so Windows drivers should be installed.. http://www.lampizator.eu/fikus/DOWNLOADS_%26_LINKS.html PS: I am not a Lampizator expert :)

    Hi Ray, For the first Gen K50, we not only upgrade the USB output but also the re-clocker, the server, and player engines, giving from 200-400% extra system resources, add isolation footers, and last but not least the power supply trickle down from the OLADRA, all these upgrades significantly...
