The State of High End Audio
I saw nothing untoward or insulting in your PM. As a matter of fact you are smelling like a rose IMO. You are caught in the usual self important vortex, black hole grind down often used as a strategy by several posters. There is no end game. You are supposed go around n round into an endless...- Andre Marc

The State of High End Audio
If it is not against the TOS, it is at the very least low class. I had it happen to me one time and it told me all I needed to know about the person who did it.- Andre Marc

A different philosophy.
Yes, that is actually what I meant. Although a very good friend plays in the symphony and has nothing beyond computer speakers, despite having a very large and expensive piano in the living room. I also know a jazz recording artist in New York who has nothing but a pair of Beats and a laptop...- Andre Marc

A different philosophy.
How many very successful, supremely talented musicians do you think have playback systems beyond computers or smart devices? Almost none. There is a total disconnect.- Andre Marc

Review: Pono Music Store (bargain shoppers rejoice)
Good overview of Pono. My very brief take: -they are a godsend to the high resolution/lossless Redbook download market, as they now give Superhirez and HDTracks competition, for which there was none previously. ProStudioMasters is another good one but their catalog is far more limited. -Their...- Andre Marc

A different philosophy.
DaveyF. Shocking in some ways, not in others. I have a pretty good idea of which designer it is. Upon reflection, it is not that big a surprise since many audiophiles hate music too. :o:p- Andre Marc

Roon Users: A few quick questions
Hey Beau. Trust me, I totally understand the value of Roon for many users. I guess I am one of those obsessives who know my music collection inside and out. I have no use for the added service, but I realize not everybody is as nutty about their music files as I am. It is all good.:cool: -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
Yes, I have. It is impressive. For someone who has not invested in a massive digital music library, it is a godsend. I don't need it, but I am glad it is an option for audiophiles who want more than lossy streaming. -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
Tidal is integrated into dozens of free control apps. -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
First, I will repeat, Roon is def. a good set up for some. However, I see too much of the Apple model here. They want the user to adopt to their world view, and they want to tell the customer what is "better". It is not for me and I ended my trial this morning. As you said, freeware will... -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
Thanks Rodney. I very much look forward to more user impressions..positive..neutral or negative...as more hardware becomes compatible. -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
The question sort of does not makes sense..IF I understand a few things correctly. If your server uses MPD for playback of local storage, you have to use MPAD/MPOD etc to control playback. MPD IMO is the best sounding. Roon substitutes its own playback engine on your server, assuming it is... -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
Hey Alex: I completely get what your saying. As I said, i can see why Roon is perfect for many users. I believe in forming opinions after direct experience, unlike many in this hobby. I have 2 more weeks for my trial, so I will keep an open mind. However, I can see we diverge in our... -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
Understood. Yes, of course Roon offers consistency since it is 100% a graphical interface. However, off my 12 TB, everything is structured 100% identically...Artist/Album/Track #/Title.. It seems my DLNA set up is better for my needs. There is absolutely zero difference in sound quality. -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
Appreciate the help. I can see how some might find Roon a great solution, but it won't work for me. MiniMServer allows custom transcoding, works with numerous control apps, offers folder view, and is free. -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
Did you see my follow up post? I found the button. Running Roon on a Mac Mini. Byrston simply runs Roon RAAT to make it an end point. -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
Ok I got it now thanks. I did not see the blue icon. One more question..can this be done in a batch, or only album by album? -

Roon Users: A few quick questions
When I click the pen icon button I get nothing but a Tag Manager with a blank box. No options other than Cancel and Save. No reference to image at all. -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
You are welcome. I know I am not the only one. Also, I found that it is displaying art NOT tagged on the album..probably overlaying it from some database. I've spent years ripping discs and tagging specifically the way I want. For instance, a Japanese Platinum SHM disc does not display as such... -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
P.S. I saw on the Roon Community forum, there many requests for folder view. and questions concerning this parameter...all unanswered. So it is a legitimate concern. For large libraries with complete discographies of many artists with large catalogs, OR... a large collection of compilations... -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
Hey Alex. Yes, I was just waiting for Bryston to complete implementation. Roon is useless to me if it requires a computer be attached to a DAC. Ok, got it. Unfortunately, this is not going to work for me. I spent 7 years carefully structuring my library and folder view is the only way i can... -
Roon Users: A few quick questions
Hello Roon users: I started a Roon trial, and have it running on my Mac Mini, which I use as NAS with several G-TECH drives attached. Bryston just implement Roon RAAT on the BDP-2 and I am using it, connected to the new Simaudio 280D DAC, as a Roon end point. It is currently scanning my 12 TB...- Andre Marc

Cost to Ship My HT, Studio and Lab Gear to Japan?
No, I don't believe he is a member. But member Lee is a friend, I believe Chris lived in Atlanta before he moved. You may want to PM Lee. Here is Chris's latest website: http://stereomatic.com/ And he has a Facebook page for the Black Cat cables.- Andre Marc

THe "Ignore" Button is the greatest thing ever...
I've gotten real kick out of the forum moralists who stand on their pedestals and declare the use of the Ignore Button, which is a feature offered to all forum members without exception, is somehow an indictment of character. What a bunch of blow-hards. Kiss the back of my hand.- Andre Marc
