I'm not a fan of eating raw sewage, personally. What all do you folks not like?

You prefer it well done?

 

[unsane69]

That was the dedicated line for the audio system, obviously.

That's one explanation. Wouldn't have made a spot of difference for my supermarket one box stereo at the time.

Another is theft. Pure and simple.

Allegedly, the former occupant was found dead in the apartment. Coincidence?

He could of course have frozen to death

Is this another BBQ discussion?

 

[Ripper2860]

Well, they did mention raw sewage, so it could very well be a NC BBQ side discussion.

So, that's the smell, drifting up from the south of me...!

I don't really know how to bring this.
In the past I was the one claiming that a player (software) couldn't make any sound difference. Always did it of as the famous two letters that start with a B and ends with an S.
Now, with the new Roon 1.8 release I must be dreaming or my ears are fooling me.
I now think there are some improvements made in the timing domain because I think I'm hearing more detail, more sound stage and better placement.
Nothing else has changed in my audio chain but the Roon upgrade a few days ago. Am I the only dreamer? Am I nuts?

PS. Love the way the Roon Focus function works. It's great for popular music, but it must be a dream for classical music fans.

Too new of a Roon user (installed on 2/8) to comment on differences between 1.7 and 1.8, but I must say that I am quite happy with Roon and its sound.

Your ears are not fooling you. Roon sounds different than other network protocols because of the RAAT scheme. The 1.8 update sounds better than the 1.7 version did. I cannot pretend to know why, but I am enjoying it.

I have tried watching the replay of the Mike Moffatt Q&A from yesterday on the u-toob and the f-book, and the video is running at like 2-4 frames per second, however the audio seems mostly OK. Tried two different PCs, same issue. Is it working OK for you guys stateside? Maybe it's still buffering to the down under interweb

To those who think hardware is hard and software is easy, there are lessons to be learned from the Roon 1.8 upgrade.

From users complaining it wasn't available at 900 am on the dot on the release day, it went fo a full on revolt from some users about the upgrade not working, lost functionality and changes to the user interface.

Nothing is ever easy, is it.

I enjoyed seeing Mike today, he is hilarious.

Talking about measurement geeks only being interested in, "giving each other hand jobs".

I want Multibit, but the darn exchange rate means I can't afford a bifrost. I was considering a Modious, but Mike has me convinced.

I'm still dreaming of Modi Multibit with Unison and Gadget (if not too pricey)

I agree @Plautus001
It was great to see Mike.
I watched the YouTube version today.
He is a fascinating guy, who makes light of his significant contribution to audio.
I love the fact that he has never lost sight of what audio is all about; reproducing music.
Given the choice, I’d listen to live music every night, but failing that, Schiit helps to make a lot of recordings come alive at home.
Hope you stay well Mike.

Just had a look on YouTube. Same thing you describe.

Internet Forum Users are the ones in "revolt," I assume? The sell-important rabble who make a lot of web noise. Those guys (and they are almost always guys) need to stop polluting my bandwidth and maybe grow up a little.

The Roon 1.8 upgrade (and the small patch issued the next day) both installed easily and worked seamlessly on my network.

I watched it on YouTube today.
The audio was slightly out of sync with the video, but after a couple of beers, I no longer noticed.

Same here. Seems like the issue may have been with slow upload speeds on Schiit's end.
