Joe is a great seller. He answered all my questions, always replied promptly and packaging was excellent. Even after the sale he followed up. A+ transaction. I sincerely thank Joe for everything.

PM sent. Thank you

I'm interested in purchasing the Rockna.

I realize that the Zdac is not the "latest and greatest" out there, but after 30 years in audiophile land, I can tell you 100% that this dac is an overachiever and a fine value. It is a stone cold bargain on the used market. If you want an extremely musical dac that simply sounds great with a...

+1. I would like to know the answer, too.    My immediate interest is to know if there is any noise polluting my hirez music downloads, and IF so, then what ifi products would help reduce that noise. I use a desktop computer and download my music files to a good quality external hard drive...

Thanks for pointing this out. I agree that implementation is always the key; a great smps can be better than an LPS. And, hopefully supercaps will be another direction.    That's disappointing as I'm really seeking the next step for my gear and believe the server component is critical and a...

Thank you Project86 for your prior answers in this thread.    Is there any word yet on the X-Server being powered by a DC input? There's a clear movement toward external power supplies, and particularly linear power supplies. My main interest in the X-Server is as a server, not a dac. However...

Thank you for the sneak peak into the X Server. This seems like a potentially great product. Please answer a few follow-up questions.    Music Players Which ones are compatible? Which ones sound best with the X Server? I know Roon requires a NAS or computer to create a Roon Server. Do any of...

Thank you for the introduction. Subscribed!  It's interesting that this unit does NOT seem to have a usb output. And, it is not going the route of AoIP.  Nevertheless, implementation and sound quality are what matter most and this reads like there are a few novel variables. I know power...

Subscribed.  It will be very interesting to see what develops with these music servers in the next few months. Technology is running the gamut from budget Raspberry Pi variants to expensive Aurenders. Perhaps the Matrix Audio X will be serious bang for the buck. Thank you Project86 for your...

  Thank you for your review. One aspect that caught my attention is that you only changed from usb stack to Rednet (versus changing several components at once) and that you are going direct from mac mini to rednet which is a greatly simplified system. The point is that in your instance we're...

This is all an unfortunate distraction. I don't speak for others, but I imagine a few points below might reflect their thoughts, too.    I'm MOST interested in reasonably affordable, reasonably simple and fantastic sounding audio gear. I'm on a quest to get close to the sound, vibe and soul of...

Thank you for sharing that. And, congrats.    So, this brings up two questions.    What ROLE does the PC play in the new AOIP paradigm? [A friend of mine gave up the mRendu for an Auralic Aries stating the Aries "takes the computer out of the signal chain and replaces it entirely with a...

I would welcome the opportunity to read a few of the comments specifically comparing the Rednet to the MircroRendu. Please feel free to share some quotes or links. The MicroRendu seems to have taken off and I'm eager to rule it out to pursue the AOIP route that you have so enthusiastically and...

I wish to thank everyone who commented on the Amanero question in the VERY recent previous posts. I'm under the impression that the Amanero is a significant sonic improvement.    I have a question for all Dac 19 10th anniversary owners, please. I read a review that implies the Dac 19 10th is a...
