Question - do I need this in my life? I have a standard copy, is this mix heaps better?

I hope my daughter (who is only 11) gets into them - my father passed away a few years back and my mother let me at the collection just before Christmas... literally was 'take whatever you want'. Packed 30 records into my carry on case including OG mono pressings of the Beatles & the Stones, a...

It's a beauty isn't it? Worry about how it will manage long term with the plastic bag & newspaper folded - but the little 45RPM records are sweeeet

I'm so this guy too - @whatwhatsaywhat and I took our families (my daughter was 8 at the time) to go see her live here in Melbourne... brilliant gig. Any update on when the album is out?

I have literally just found this entire thread... 🤦🏽‍♂️

That was a HIGHLY amusing response @duke86fan :ROFLMAO: He was highly incompetent - Cops were handing stuff to my wife saying 'is this yours?' and most of the time the response was 'yeah, I guess so...'. Overlooked expensive DSLR equipment for an old cheap camera, took knock-off watches from my...

Yeah - I was in Sydney (550 miles away) - scary part was it was the same dude that swiped my wallet from my (stupidly) unlocked car a few days earlier and came back for another bite of the cherry. Wife, child & dog all came home after an hour out for school pickup/park play and my little dog...

Excellent point - I definitely need this to be a strong backup for our laptops. We were recently burgled (idiot was still in the house, police called, we caught the guy) - thankfully he ignored my wife's laptop, which contains basically her entire work life. So we need some comfort!

So - based on all the excellent advice above I think I'm just going to get a NAS to plug into my router, which will be picked up by my Cambridge StreamMagic app (I we can also use it as backups for all our laptops etc). As we are a 100% Mac household want something that plays nicely with Apple...

I didn't know this existed and now I HAVE to have it... I bought a $15 copy at a Record Fair in Thornbury that sounds lovely, but...

Yeah no gapless is a deal breaker for me... but seems Cambridge Audio know their customers and are trying to do the right thing. Respect!

LOL - I watched that video the other day as well - great idea eh? Thanks for this - was chatting with the guys who sold me the CXN and they recommended I get a NAS for my ripped CDs as it will show up on the Stream Connect app. We don't have Qobuz in Australia and I agree that Roon is probably...

I just took delivery of my CXNV2 last week and am VERY impressed with it - picked up Tidal special for $4 for 4 months but will definitely roll it over as an accompaniment to my burgeoning vinyl collection. Curious as to what the Tidal Connect update is though? Instead of a NUC can I just rip...

I'm still depressed that our gigs were cancelled here in Melbourne... @whatwhatsaywhat & I had Rows 2 & 6 for two of the three gigs. Fuck Covid.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ...... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

@Joe Mac Thanks again mate - i now completely understand the system. Wasn't aware we are talking a standalone Roon OS on the device. So couldn't use this as a multimedia server for movies & TV shows as well if I go down this route (which is completely fine in this streaming age). Really...

Such excellent advice all - thanks you so much! So you're all saying you just need the i3 NUC and then connect to that via a bluetooth keyboard/mouse when needed but mostly use the app? @Joe Mac - what specs do you have for the i3? Been trying to price one of these things down here and i...

I have a Roon question! So I literally only discovered this whole system in the last week - what started as wanting to add a CD player to my vinyl setup has taken a distinct left turn, am already thinking about how I can find the $A2000 for the Cambridge CXN! With the Roon core - are there any...

LOL - yeah no matter which way i try to slice & dice it i get nailed! I miss the days when the Aussie dollar actually bought $US1.10. Of course you were in the middle of the GFC which was terrible 😬

OK started digging into YouTube videos (thank you John Darko for the three-part NAS/DAC/Streaming dummies guide) - and this makes a lot of sense if I can also access streaming services too. So I should look at: - Build an Intel Nuc - aside from storage what build specs do I need here? Looking...
