It could also be a Roon issue and the hardware limitations of your Roon server CPU doing the DSD upsampling.- indelibo

Sorry about your DSD512 audio stuttering. It's important to remember that the Arce only supports DSD512 on I2S output and that might be an edge case where the HDMI cable quality really matters. The other ports only officially support DSD64 so I wouldn't expect perfect DSD256 playback. I suggest...- indelibo

iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane
Thank you, the video helped me solve the problem. The key is to tap on Roon menu's DEVICE INFO, which launches a browser tab where you can switch the output to USB.- indelibo

iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane
I just got the Zen Stream recently and for the last couple days I've been struggling to get Roon Exclusive mode to output via USB rather than SPDIF. I have struck out with my three DACs: Topping DX7Pro+, Topping D90, and SMSL SU-9N. They do not report back properly via USB on exclusive mode. On...- indelibo

The SQ is fantastic and flawless with no hitches from what I can tell. But this device was mainly engineered for Roon usage so it's not surprising. And without multiple streaming devices on hand to do apples to apples comparisons it's still not a lot to go on.- indelibo

I got it last week so I'm still putting it through the paces. So far I love it. But definitely it's a very niche product. First of all it's meant to be a Roon bridge. I currently have my NAS doubling as a Roon server which was easy enough to configure. I tried to hold off on getting a Roon...- indelibo

iPhono3 Black Label - The Official Thread
I bought the iPhono2 recently and really love it. Comparing the two, I only see a few incremental changes and a new power supply. So this massive price jump has me scratching my head.- indelibo

Looking for a Sony Component AV Cable for PS3
I want to connect my PS3 to my headphone amp with good RCA cables so that I can listen to my SACDs, but unfortunately Sony uses the proprietary AV component cable. Is there a good audiophile Component AV Cable out there that is not a ripoff like Monster? I've Googled everywhere and there doesn't...- indelibo

PCMCIA solution: E-MU 02 vs Echo Indigo DJ?
I've had lots of experience with the Echo Indigo DJ and I highly recommend it. A word of warning though: PCMCIA is going obsolete and will not be compatible with newer laptops!- indelibo

RS-1 Appreciation Thread starts here!!!!
The RS-1 is not supposed to sound bright. From my experience it sounded bright only during the initial burn in period. I have a feeling that the brightness some people are experiencing is due to poor cd mastering more than anything else. Also other gear used could be a factor.- indelibo

MAD Ear+ Purist HD thread.
Osocan, I noticed that your HD2 has the Hi Z at the right and the Lo Z at the left. Plus your connectors are silver where mine is all black. Did you have it modded?- indelibo

Any amp suggestions for RS-1?
I've owned the RA-1 and I think it is highly overrated. Buy a better amp in the $500+ area to save money in the long run.- indelibo
