    The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

    It works and I love it. My fantasy is the Qobuz buys Roon or vice-versa. It would be an awesome combo and potentially save me a few $$$.

    Incoming! The New Equipment Thread

    The Wax Wing is interesting. I’m curious, but still digging my DL MP7B. I’m debating getting another or trying a Sutherland phono pre. I was going to sell my Project DC Evo, but decided to keep it for a 2nd system because it sound so good with the MP7B. Thus, I need another phono pre. My old...

    This WIIM Ultra looks like it’ll be a game changer in the streaming device segment. It’s well spec’d with a touch screen for a sub $350 price.

    iPad is a highly underrated streaming solution. It's my primary source for a headphone setup I keep in the living room.

    Build your own. It’s not that hard. I have done it a couple of times and they work reliably and sound great. One is an RPi4 that streams via USB. The other is an RPi4 with a Hifiberry Digi Pro hat that can stream via optical or coax. The Hifiberry version sounds better to me. Both are Running...

    IDT length should be an issue for USB it’s pushing 1s and 0s. It’s not an analog signal like speakers or RCA cable.

    I need to be on the look out. Last time I looked used models I saw were only $100-$150 less than new version. Or mostly the OG Ares/Enyo and not the 12th version. That said, I'm not very clear on the major difference between the versions and the impact on the sound.

    Plex as a music server is great. I wish it had Qobuz integration. If that ever happens it would be an excellent alternative to Roon for music only purposes.

    I have been eyeing the Aries II for a while, but am now stuck in analysis paralysis with the Holo Audio Cyan 2. I may end up getting them both and keeping one and selling the other. I have realized that as much as I love listening to the music, I also really enjoy trying different gear.

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    Anyone have experience ordering used gear from HiFi Heaven? I’m considering a pair of Klipsch Forte IV and they have some used on their site that are $1k to $1500 less than new. They also have some Cornwallis at a nice price, but I think those will be too much speaker for my room.

    Have you called Mofi support. Maybe they can help you troubleshoot. I had to make some similar adjustments when I got my Ultradeck to get everything leveled out. I did notice that the queue shelf can be moved up and down a bit. Once I got everything set and sounding good I haven’t touched it.
