    Laptops with exceptional built in audio?

    It will never happen. My point really was that YOU should get a portable DAC/Amp :)

    Laptops with exceptional built in audio?

    I just think realistically you can blow away any speakers they would ever put in a laptop w/ a Chord Mojo and a set of headphones. Or if you want something really small with nothing to charge, say an Audioquest Dragonfly and some IEMs. Aside from size, there isn't really a market. Nobody is...

    Laptops with exceptional built in audio?

    I agree. I've never seen one that I would consider remotely impressive .

    Desktop Amp/DAC Recos (Replace my huge Mjolnir/Gungir MB)

    My Neve RNHP amp is really outstanding and a pretty small footprint. Feed that from one of the smaller Schitt MBs and you'd have a pretty small setup. The Mojo is also great if you want really small. I like the Yggy>Neve better but it's a LOT larger :)

    Best PC Media software for music

    I liked JRiver before I moved to Roon. Roon is $$$ and the setup is more complicated b/c you have to have a server, but I wouldn't give it up for anything...it's simply awesome.

    Spotify, Apple Music or.... which one is the best

    Tidal is my favorite for 2 reasons: direct integration with Roon and CD quality 16/44.1 files. They have now added MQA files as well so some releases push beyond CD quality. It's more expensive than the others but the resolution is worth it (to me).

    What computer speakers to get?

    I really like my MAudio BX5s. No need for a sub and they sound great. The only hassle is you need an adapter b/c they only take TRS or XLR input. I have a 3.5MM to dual XLR cable that I use for mine.

    Process and tools to clean and optimize ID3 tags of a full library

    I've used the Jaikoz tag editor for years...it's extremely powerful once you figure out it's quirks. http://www.jthink.net/jaikoz/

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    Hi everyone, I'm a new Mojo owner. It's working great with laptop sources but I've noticed some distortion when using my 580s and an iPhone 6plus using the CCK. It seems inconsistent...if I unplug and reconnect the CCK several times I can get it to go away and sound clean. I tried searching...

    PONO - Neil Youngs portable hi-res music player

      100% flac files. And I only have 2 cards. Swapping either of the 2 takes 10+ minutes to scan. I've rotated through the two enough times they should be the only thing in cache. I do have artwork...it's embedded in the files.

    PONO - Neil Youngs portable hi-res music player

      Both of my 128gb cards take roughly 10min to scan even with 10% free internally.  I'm going to wipe it all out and start over and see if I can source the issue. You guys have at least given me hope that it's not just a limitation of the Pono so I'll check the files, try different cards, etc...

    PONO - Neil Youngs portable hi-res music player

      Thanks, I'll give that a shot.  Clearly nothing to lose and I was going to try regardless but thought I'd check to see if anyone had confirmed it mattered.

    PONO - Neil Youngs portable hi-res music player

    I'm using 2 128gb Samsung SD EVO class 10 cards.  Whenever I swap between the cards, the Pono kicks off Scanning Music Library for a LONG time even if  nothing has changed on the 2 cards. I've read it supposedly  caches up to 3 cards but mine doesn't seem to be caching anything.  Any ideas...
