I had the MU1 on a 3 week home trial and I concluded that Roon was severely strangling its sound quality in the same way that I hear whenever I go back to trying Roon on my Antipodes compared to Squeeze + Squeezelite. Roon usually only lasts at best half of a track before its sound starts to...
I used a Chord Mscaler and Chord DAVE Dac connected to my K50 and with them the best sound quality in my experience was using BNC from the K50 to the Mscaler. I had both the Gen 1 and Gen 2 K50 and it was the same result for best SQ with both of them.
I tried optical and also usb but the BNC...
Well, after 24 hours of thinking about this I have placed an order with the UK dealer Elite Audio to have my Oladra updated as soon as they start doing the upgrades. The upgraded USB output is of currently of little interest to me at the moment due to that not being the best implemented input on...
Well I had the best recommendation ever for an Oladra which was from a WAVE customer who was kind enough to drive to my house with his Oladra so we could compare it to my K50.
How did that compare? Well lets just say that a new Oladra arrived today and is warming up playing non stop music to...
@kennyb123 indeed your report is very interesting. I had always wondered whether the K30 was basically just a cut down K50 but with only the USB output as opposed to the multiple digital outputs of the K50. It seems your conclusion is an emphatic no to that question and instead the K50 usb...
No, that does not seem normal and I have never had that with my PhoenixNET. Is there any chance you changed anything else at the same time, possibly accidentally?
From what I can see the server and player boards are new and different to the K50. The height looks a tight fit for the same power supply as the K50 so maybe that will be different or a variation of it. The Olandra is not 10k more than the K50, it is 7.5k more. That is a fair lump of money but...
I have been rather busy over the last few weeks and so have neglected popping in here to have a browse.
For various reasons too superficial to name I actually sold my original version K50 and bought one of the current ones. Whilst the changes may have been prompted by supply chain issues the...
My promised EVO USB from Mark had been sitting in a UPS warehouse since 22nd Dec so a new one was sent two days ago by old fashioned Royal Mail and arrived yestreday!
Although I myself make what I regard as the best available BNC cables (I guess I would say that!!) I have seen no reason to...
You probably know already but I use MPD for PGGB playback on my K50 and that for me is the best sound quality so far but I am also hoping to play PGGB 705/768 files using Squeeze when AMS 3.1 arrives.
I totally agree with you on Roon sound quality. It sucks
And just to say that there is a quick video on the Antipodes web site outlining the main features of 3.1.
It has a similar look and feel to 3.0 but my main hope is that it will enable us to use up to date versions of the server and player apps rather than the out of date ones enabled within...
From what I have read from Antipodes the notice is a three part notice.
1) CX and EX will be able to be upgraded for a relatively short period of time (July and August) with the new Oladra power supplies and they will also be upgraded to the new 3.1 software at the same time. Antipodes are...
