I’ve been a longtime Roon user first on a MacBook Pro, and then switched to a Nucleus+ in 2018. Updates have never been a problem. And the Nucleus is very stable. I occasionally reboot it, along with all of my other digital devices.
However Roon I think has prioritized features and platform...
I have plenty of examples of these 2 symphonies in DSD64. But I could not resist downloading these 2 live recordings from Bert van der Wolf’s Spirit of the Turtle website.
Wonderful music and equally wonderful recordings. Highly recommended
These live recordings are part of a series...
This should be very interesting

Chirs I hope you do a video, like you did for your AppleTV X, that describes what you’ve discovered what creates noise in the audio signal and how you’ve minimized it
Hi Ken
Yes I’m still enjoying the sound of Aries G2.1 powered by a Sean Jacobs ARC6 DC4 power supply. The improvement in clarity and dynamics is quite significant, making the cost, effort and very long burn in period worth it to me FYI, Sean has offered to look into a power supply for the...
Hi fast.freight:
Congratulations on your new Stern and Heisenbergs. They will sound even better after a few months of burn in.
I agree that the power buttons on the Heisenbergs are very bright. I’ve had two pair of Heisenbergs powering YG Sonja XV Jrs for several years now. I certainly don’t...
Ken, I have a system that’s similar to yours, Nucleus, Auralic Aries Tambaqui, Audionet, YG and Kubala Sosna cables. I upgraded my cables from K-S Elation to Realization when they were first introduced, before there was a Sensation. The cost was significant but the improvement in resolution...
If you’re buying a Tambaqui from GTT Audio in New Jersey, Bill will supply XLR/RCA adapters. Mola Mola doesn’t supply them. He told me he has auditioned many adapters and thinks the ones he uses sound the best. I’ve auditioned other equipment and tweaks with him at his place and he’s quite...
I switched from a Directstream DAC to the Tambaqui 3+ years ago and have never looked back. The Tambaqui is an excellent DAC. Burn in for digital always helps. But there are many things you can do to your system both upstream and downstream of the Tambaqui to fully hear what it’s capable of.
I use all Kubala Sosna Realization power, speaker & interconnect cables with my Stern, Heisenbergs and YG Acoustic Sonja XV Jrs.
Rack is Finite Elemente.
Been following advice of Bill Parish, GTT Audio, who is a great guy and has great taste in music.
I have Sonja XV Jr’s. YG came to my home to upgrade the crossovers. The upgrade is expensive, but the new crossover boards are larger and have a completely different and packed with an impressive looking array of capacitors and inductors. The XV Jr’s already sounded great, but on first listen...
Going from a PC to a dedicated server / streamer should be a positive improvement.
On my Tambaqui, USB sounds better than Ethernet
But I’m using Kubala-Sosna cables for USB, Ethernet and AC power. I also added a HDPLEX 200W linear power supply for the Nucleus, external SSD and switch. Every...
I’m glad that you like it! What are you using in front of your Tambaqui?
I have a 4TB external SSD Drive = USB = Nucleus Plus = ethernet - switch = ethernet = Auralic Aries G2 streamer = USB = Tambaqui = Preamp = amps = speakers
I’ve had the Tambagui DAC since the beginning of this year. I’m very happy with it. Beats the PS Audio Directstream DAC which it replaced by a wide margin.
If you’re located in the US, ask Bill Parish at GTT Audio, he offers an in home trial.
I just came back from 7 hours of roaming the halls at RMAF. And I spent a fair amount of time listening to the Kii Audio room. I had heard Kii Three's in Munich but since that was a pre production model I wanted to hear the finished version. The Kii's were driven only by a MacBook Pro...
