THE WATERCOOLER HEADPHONE EDITION – Headphones, Amps, DACs, and desktop/home audio related – a freewheeling discussion of gear, impressions, music, and musings.
Adding my 2 cents to the DAC discussion... Since in my main setup, I have 1 DAC but several amps - my philosophy has been: get neutral or reference DAC, and add the "audio flavors" with the use of the various amps. If you get a warm DAC - you are kinda "stuck" with analytical or bright amps...- Zachik

3 amps ago, I already said I have no physical room for more amps... :laughing: Now, I am REALLY busting at the seams. I wish I could afford a bigger place, but I live in "the craziest place on earth", so....... 🤷♂️ (maybe I should start a Go Fund Me campaign or something :thinking:)- Zachik

McChanson amps tube rolling thread
Hmmm.... should I add them as driver tubes or power / output tubes? :thinking: I could add to both sections, with a note for each that these could also be used as the other (with different adapters)? what do you think?- Zachik

Added these 2 tube types (5B/254M and 5B/254A). Also, added the date of last update in the "Notes" column header since it made the most sense without changing the table too much... what do you guys think?- Zachik

Holo Audio May DAC Speculation
Quick update: It was the Windows Firewall on the Win10 PC... After disabling it - it started working. So I re-enabled and played with various settings, not thinking I changed anything actually but now it works. Maybe disable / enable refreshed some tables or something? 🤷♂️ Anyhow, I am in...- Zachik

Holo Audio May DAC Speculation
I already got tips on the Roon community to check Windows firewall on my Win10 PC. See if it blocks Roon Core from seeing it... I am going to disable the firewall temporarily, to see if it starts working. If so - firewall settings need to be somehow fixed. Otherwise - will need new idea. Will...- Zachik

I will keep catching up, and hope in the next 2 pages someone provided more info (which adapters needed, for example?) and with more conviction :wink: Edit: just finished catching up, and no more details were provided... I will be happy to add any confirmed safe tubes, but please provide more...- Zachik

Holo Audio May DAC Speculation
Interesting... I will look into it when I get home! Yes. Used Jriver MC to play audio (same Win10 PC, same USB connected Holo May). That was my sanity check that the issue is NOT a hardware or physical setup issue...- Zachik

I think it is the right software. See: I believe it is the Roon desktop, but it self identifies itself as "Roon Remote" - see screenshot above. I did verify Jriver is not running. Thanks all for the excellent suggestions. Debug will resume tonight when I get back home...- Zachik
