    How about you focus on you and be happy when others are happy doing whatever brings them enjoyment?

    I remember buying the Pyromania cassette as well. One of my first. Listened to it the whole way home in my dad’s station wagon.
  4. The Computer Audiophile
    Yes. 😁

    I wore out that Ratt cassette back in the day.

    Straight CDs for me. All available from Discs Japan.

    I've compared them and the ones I compared were 100% bit for bit identical. I also couldn't hear a difference.

    This is the only one I don't have from the playlist. it appears that it only came out on vinyl. https://www.discogs.com/Sunao-Wada-Quintet-1-Featuring-Minoru-Ikeno-Four-Scenes/master/1284060

    It comes down to a combination of chipset and drivers. Using Windows on CAPS 20.1 as an endpoint, I couldn't get 32fs working. Switching to Linux NAA image, it worked flawlessly. Intel hardware didn't change, only software changed.

    Very true Ted. Does anyone know why there is a difference between Intel and non-Intel hardware, if someone is running Linux and using built-in Linux drivers?
  11. The Computer Audiophile
    I agree 100%
  12. The Computer Audiophile
    I keep seeing people suggest that Intel chipsets are a requirement for 32fs playback. This isn't true. As I type this, I'm listening to 32fs through a Sonore signatureRendu SE optical.

    Competition is a good thing. It keeps all three of these companies innovating.

    Listening to Kingdom Come right now!

    I'm listening to the track "Die For Me" by Post Malone. There are two guests artist on the track and I'd love it if Aurender Conductor enabled me to see who these artists are. I know one is the singer Halsey because I switched to a different app that displayed this info. The info is available from Qobuz.

    Perhaps I misread this, but it seems to me that a monthly subscription can be purchased. This is a great thing for people who want to dip their toes in for longer than a trial period.

    As Abraham Lincoln said, "I saw it on the internet, it must be true." All joking aside, if you're happy, that's all that matters.
  19. The Computer Audiophile
    How about streaming from Tidal, Qobuz, or HiRes Audio?
  20. The Computer Audiophile
    At this rate, software will be more devalued than streaming music :~)

    Hi @GoldenOne It would be really cool to keep measurements of this DAC over time. The big issue that manufacturers, who don't offer R2R DACs, bring up is that R2R DACs can lose accuracy over time because of all the resistors. I have no idea how big of a deal this is, how much time we are talking about, or if this is still an issue.

    I think it would be helpful for people to compare Apples to Apples on this one. Apps such as HQPlayer and Roon are vastly different from Audirvana Studio in features. If someone is a user of Audirvana's features, it's a tough one to switch to HQP. In addition, if you stream to a DLNA renderer, then HQP and Roon aren't even in the conversation. I have no issue with people who don't like the subscription model. To each their own. But we should keep the comparisons equal when possible.
  23. The Computer Audiophile
    You do realize that if you paid for Audirvana as a subscription on the day you "purchased" Roon, you still wouldn't even be close to spending as much on Audirvana as you have on Roon right?
