    Two listeners

    Thank you. It is very helpful. I have ordered some Herbie's gliders so that we can fiddle with speaker position. The speakers are Sonus Faber Serafino's, which have spikes on top of very fiddly little metal circles that instantly come off. This is on thin carpet on top of an uneven floor...

    Any advice for set-up for two people listening would be most welcome. Apologies if this is already in a thread.

    Can digital get to vinyl sound and at what price?

    Just a note to the discussion--often people are talking about streaming versus playing vinyl. If you are playing purchased high-res digital files the comparison changes a bit.

    The Music or the Gear?

    To return a bit to the beginning of this thread, I am interested in the difference between music and sound. I enjoyed music as much on the clock radio I was given when I was 13 (in 1960) as at any time since. I now have the gear to enjoy the sound of it as well. I find I listen differently...

    More Consensus That Streaming Is An Inferior Format & Not High End?

    I detest Roon Radio. I discovered it the first time I used Roon. I played Bach's St Matthew's Passion and afterward, when I thought it had stopped, the thing launched all by itself into what it thought was similar. I was appalled. Then I spent time trying to figure out how to turn it off. I...

    More Consensus That Streaming Is An Inferior Format & Not High End?

    Thank you. My question is fully answered. Sorry I mentioned the streaming platforms--it had come up in preceding posts as changing quality, but not pertinent to my question Susan

    More Consensus That Streaming Is An Inferior Format & Not High End?

    Okay, I think I have gathered from this that no one thinks the quality of the internet matters in streaming music from the internet versus streaming the same files in your own system? Just to clarify. The signal path here for streaming from internet is satellite modem to router to network...

    More Consensus That Streaming Is An Inferior Format & Not High End?

    I have a question. I have a subscription to Qobuz and very much appreciate it. However, I cannot use it to the extent I would like to. I find the sound of streaming over the internet inferior to the sound of streaming the same digital files on my system. I at least think the streaming over...

    Aqua LinQ Core Module

    I have been told that HQPlayer and NAA shifts the music processing from the (in my case) Roon Nucleus to the LinQ, which is better. It definitely does sound better. Earlier we had the Roon module in the LinQ, which didn't sound as good. We also used a Mini earlier run headless from a MacBook...

    Aqua LinQ Core Module

    I had thought I was using the newest module, but I wasn't. The machine actually came with the Roon RAAT module (retired in 2020). However, I now have in it the HQPlayer Core + NAA (cascade-module). Although sold as a single item this is a double module and occupies two slots in the Linq and...

    Aqua LinQ Core Module

    I am using the LinQ with "the new LinQ Core module, HQPlayer-based". Only the single module. It all just worked. I haven't tried to set up HQplayer. I am just using Roon. The display on the LinQ says that.

    Aqua LinQ Core Module

    I am using Roon with the new module all by itself. Works fine.

    Aqua LinQ Core Module

    Please, could you tell me if the cable to attach the LinQ to an Aqua DAC comes with it (I imagine not) or is proprietary (I imagine so) and purchased with it? Also, could you tell me whether the Roon Nucleus (plain) would be an appropriate server for the LinQ with the HQP module, or whether...
