Thanks, found setting in Zone settings in Roon. Works ok. Will check out iTunes

During the day I listen to playlists I make including Christmas Playlist. The variation in volume level is amazing-very soft for some music to threshold of pain on others. Annoying. Old ears find loud music kind of muddy. Roon has some kind of volume thing which I can google and try. At night when I tend to listen to an album or two I can stream directly from Qobuz which I prefer and bypass any signal processing.

Honest to God I don’t know what an Ethernet Switch is. I have Benchmark DAC and Amp and the most important reason I have them is that when I purchased them Benchmark had and probably still has a liberal return policy. I liked what I heard.

At some point isn’t about what you hear? Last week I sat down to listen to Ben Webster and drink a little bourbon. The most relevant measurement I guess was the amount of bourbon in the glass. Do measurements make people want to seek the more perfect? I guess it is about rational decision making but it all seems a little weird to me.

Break from Christmas Music.

I would so enjoy listening to a live performance. One of my favorites.

Thinking maybe tonight.

Along with a glass of a nice Spanish White, a relaxing evening:

Thank you, a wonderful idea-no World Series tonight.

Before the World Series, very pleasant.

Already own one and am most favorably disposed towards the unit.

Sorry for my less than prompt response. Posts here overwhelm me a little. I really like the Benchmark Amp. It plays softly well and is pleasant to hear. I hide the amp in a cabinet so ability to turn it off when not in use is helpful.

I have a BENCHMARK amp which I give 5 minutes to the amp and myself to warm up. At 67 I think my hearing varies a little each day usually depending on how many laps I did in the pool that morning.

Can SonicOrbiter access Amazon HD at 192/24 or is it limited to Shairpoint/ Airplay. Is it possible to create an app that would allow this or given Amazon this is currently unrealistic?

Sounds good to me, available QOBUZ
