I'll be at CapFest most of tomorrow and will swing by. If I run out of time on Sat, I'll come back on Sun. I wont be bringing gear as I have a few speakers I want to spend some time with.

Yea, I would expect Focal to be there at all - that would be a big surprise. Though I'm sure vendors will have them - and they always show up at the meets. I'm really looking forward to going. I wish this was still more in the summer time. I've been to a few shows now but home to spend some...

I've made some updates and can now upsample everything in ROON to DSD512 (or 32/764) so I'm testing that out. I think it's a pretty cool capability to be able to play with.

You really don't know what you're getting with iTunes and it airplay lets the end point do whatever it needs to do to make the sound work with out sending feedback to iTunes or the player. The ROON core controls the entire sound path and tells you exactly what's going on with and what it's...

I'll be there but I'll be concentrating on speakers

yea, I was going to suggest earlier that the 'new' window's 10 upgrade which included better USB audio support should be able to help here...

crazy

Yea, I just used a Sonic Transport and am pretty happy with it. It used sonic orbiter OS which is similar to ROCK that ROON uses on this. But there are windows Sonic transports in case you want to run extra software.

You could skip the NOVA, sell the GSK-mk2, the dac and all your cabeling and get a Vinnie Rossie LIO which is GSX-mk level but with everything else you'd ever need built in.  Not sure why people don't talk about it as much on this forum.  Plus it's modular and upgradable so you can always have...

I have to say I was pretty impressed by 1.3.  I had a 30 day trail of Roon last year but it did nothing for me.  I'm on a 2 week trial now.  As soon as I signed in to my already loaded Roon core, it uploaded to the latest version and then started building the database.  I was able to listen to...

Check out the Vinnie Rossi LIO, the headphone amp is amazing.

woops, didn't realize this was last year's thread.  Didn't see a 2016 thread in the search.

I know this is going to sound pretty nonspecific but does anyone remember a room where they were showing of room treatments?   I remember a room, maybe at the end up the upper floor of rooms that had a fairly basic system in it that sounded pretty great.  The guy started talking about the...

I've been off head-fi for a couple years.  I looked in the original Magnum thread and there was an old post about Rhydon no longer working with these - which came up after a few people noted that they could no longer get in touch with him (and his web page went down).  so nothing new and I have...

So with Rhydon out of the picture who is continuing the work on magnums?  Is the whole complete custom in-shop grado upgrade thing gone?  (and now no one's making the new gimbals and all that?)   I'm still using my magnum 3.5's and didn't realize they work was continuing (I did know about the...
