@bobfa One of the challenges with DVS for PC audio playback used to be that it did not support dynamic sample rate adjustment-- meaning that it only played at the Dante 'network defined' sample rate. Which would require PC playback apps to do SRC, rather than the DAC. Does DVS support real time sample rate adjustment now? (for context, link to post in this discussion https://www.head-fi.org/threads/audio-over-ip-rednet-3-16-review-aes67-sets-a-new-standard-for-computer-audio.806827/page-247#post-16286343 )

Checking back 2 years later…. @The Computer Audiophile have you find other options or tried any of these?

echoing the question: @JoshM have you heard / considered the latest Ragnarok 2 from Schiit, in comparison to these other amps?

@VFyou may want to ask this question in the Lumin support area. Lumin advised me to place FMC between my Sotm switch and U1 Mini. So, use one of the SFP ports in the Sotm switch, then to FMC via fiber, then to Lumin via UTP.

So… June 2021. What PSU is recommended for the SNH-10G switch?

What is the best place to report issues with the Qobuz search function?

Great interview

@David Craff Back in November there was mention that Qobuz was supplying Roon with volume level metadata (ie: EBUR128, ReplayGain). Is this metadata available exclusively to Roon or can other companies (like Lumin, Melco, etc) access this metadata should they choose to offer volume leveling in their player producs?

@luisma so did you measure it? That’s what I’m trying to understand.... how do you know the shielding for EMI/RFI is poor?

@luisma Can you elaborate about the GTEK FMC not shielding EMI/RFI well? How does one determine this? Is there a published spec or other measurement?

+1 @krelldog I emphatically agree with @davide256. I think you would be very well advised to pursue another digital source beyond your macOS/jriver setup. Digital sources often make bigger differences than DACs. if NUCs, Euphony and AudioLinux are too involved, check out the likes of Lumin and Aurender components (and of course there are many other good ones). you might be amazed what feeding AES to your YggyA2 does 😉 Best part is you can make a comfortable and sane A/B comparison and draw your own conclusions....

I really like this approach of using a dedicated hifi source component which you enjoy and then trying to configure & optimize network/streaming/file playback to beat it.... I’ve been doing same with a Cyrus CDi recently.

@davide256 following your post from May, specifically in regards to SSDs under Linux sounding ‘bright’... have you explored any other remedies/solutions/ideas outside of SDXC? For example, does a JCAT or Patchenko SATA cable help tame brightness? Eager to hear any of your findings. Am also curious more generally if Linux+SSD is actually bright in reality or if everything else is actually/historically just ‘dull’ in comparison.

Hi. Can anyone recommend a USB Wifi adapter that works well with Windows Server 2019? thank you (can be either USB 2.0 or 3.0)

@McNulty @plissken notice the part in the AudioBacon assessment where the reviewer literally pulls the plug and listens....

curious, I have never tried Spotify before on an AO system. I was able to install it, but it won't actually start. Is there a trick to get Spotify to work? 2019 Core.

curious: is Spotify Connect on the Micro/UltraRendu 110% stable and reliable, such that a casual Spotify user in the house can use it without fear of weird lockups, freezes, fails, or other 'beta' issues?

does AO B32 support USB based DACs which only use Windows Native USB driver?

@Norton do you have any impressions or comparisons you could share (or link to where you’ve already shared) The idea of USB sticks as a compromise between CDs and computers is quite interesting.
