Playing Roon over RAAT - Does the server matter for SQ?

[BryanS]

I have to echo @VASKA here. I moved from a Roon Nucleus+ to a Pachanko Masterpiece and wow what an upgrade. For me after months of looking for a server, I haven't found anything I like better. 

 

The switch from the Nucleus+ to the Masterpiece was night and day. I'm getting incredible detail without any digital harshness. The best thing I can say is I'm enjoying my music more than I ever have and to me this is what it is about. 

 

Now I went for the Pachanko Masterpiece as I felt it was built like no other. The 2 box PSU is out of this world. In my setup I didn't find anything I liked better. 

 

Yes you are seeing 3 boxes for the Pachanko Masterpiece. Pachanko (https://www.pachankolabs.com) does offer less extreme servers 😀

 

 

I also have added the Diretta Target and yes another leap forward in my setup.

@rblnr This is why I always say only the listener can determine what is good for them. This is exactly why I use audio forums to find out about products but my ears to determine what is good for me. I also do this at dealers. I can't count how many times dealers try and tell me what sounds good and what is good. I always tell them I will decide what is good for me.
