The Sonore OpticalRendu and OpticalModule are still my preferred front-end... :D- Ards

It's a fantastic tool for doing such tests. Enjoy! :) Did you try the piano samples? I'll give the drums a go to see if I can hear a difference. Also, I don't know if you used the software this way but you can use the number keys to flip between (and start/stop) the samples. In this way... -
Watts Up...?
Interesting! If you take the piano samples, and use, eg iZotope RX, to isolate the very first set of notes to focus on (the samples are too long, IMO, to do this otherwise), you can use something like Lacinato's ABX software to play in sync/blind test the samples. With initial listening, I... -

My streamer journey ultimately lead me to fibre ethernet, which is not something Innuos support. Plus I'm a ROON user, and the Senore supports LMS which, to my ears, always sounds better than RAAT, so that was a second necessity. My benchmark are the qualities of sound I hear from vinyl...- Ards

It's a great device. I had one for a while, but moved on, which is not meant to dismiss your choice, but I was after something else. I went through a bunch of streamers and there was always a difference in sound quality - probably power supply / noise related. We know how sensitive digital is...- Ards

How certain are you about this [Roon doesn't degrade sound], and why? Are you implying that LMS changes the sound, even if in a "pleasing" way?- Ards

Watts Up...?
If the price is right, and there is the expectation of improvement over the current MScaler, then sure, it's an immediate buy as it's an easy way of upgrading my digital side. Right now, the quality expectation is there, so it's going to be down to price... -

Curious as to what this effect is? It's not something I've ever experienced with mine. -
Watts Up...?
Sorry for delay in reply. Man-flu! On a previous model (SL3) I had the panels gently slip down the frame and end up touching the floor! That happened over some years. ML have since changed the design so that can no longer happen. As for panel durability, my current pair were purchased in... -
Watts Up...?
I've been using Martin Logan for some years now, having moved over from Revel Ultima Salons. I still have those, but the ML's are the ones I'm settled on. Something very natural about the sound. -

An interesting book where the author argues that we do not experience objective reality at all: The Case Against Reality: How Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes https://amzn.eu/d/6IJBXnG
