Another shout out for Rendon Greeff Mobile 0813728911 Based in Rondebosch Just picked up my vintage Luxman from him. Sorted out problem quickly and fair charge Honest bloke Initially referred to me by Jacque - the Turntable guy.

Dayes and Anderson .Paak the top 2 drummers right now. IMO.

Thank you

Yes, agree I was also pleasantly surprised with the DIRCO service. The process and communications still leave a lot to be desired to be at professional levels. I got something apostilled last year and was 2 weeks via the courier system. Has anyone used DIRCO for apostilling from outside the...

I would be interested to know if police clearance certificates can also be applied for from embassy outside SA - then doing the apostilling with DIRCO. Applied 8 weeks ago and still no progress. Apparently a printer broke in Pretoria (one printer for entire country) and the department did not...

I guess that was for abridged birth certificate. That they can print right away. It is the unabridged document that is a problem - with the wait being a lottery ito timing

So tried Tidal directly via LUMIN (it’s own LUMIN app) and you are right !!! I went further and tried Tidal via a legacy version of Audirvāna (3.5 - which they don’t update anymore and now cannot play most tracks of tidal). That output also better than adding Roon. ??? Didn’t expect this !

Denafrips Gaia and Pontus 2 Dac. I want to clarify but as I understand it , Roon can not yet process the Tidal HiRes signal So really what I’m asking is - for better sound quality should Roon be removed from chain ?

Oops typos - DCA should be DAC

I updated my Tidal Hifi plus yesterday to enable the Hires (up to 24/192) streaming and compared it to Tidal through Roon (still at 16/44). I am hearing a better soundstage (but not sure if just pshychoacoustic effect) So tried 3 paths: 1. Mac mini (Tidal HiRes with a "Max" track), through DDC...

Have listened to the LCD XC and much preferred the LCD X. With that purchase decided to buy the Sennheiser HD820 simply to have the closed back option and a different listening experience. Despite the HD820 being at a signficantly higher price point, I end up listening longer on the LCD X...

Coincidentally, was listening to him last night

Past a certain subjective point, presentation of sound does not get better, just different.

Thank you

100% same. Hope on Roon that when saving and album, it doesn’t first default to the MQA version after this change is implemented

IMO, don't waste money on a foam solution - it does little to nothing. Secondly make sure that panels are well made so that no glasswool fibres can escape with resultant health risks. (I have seen some poorly made panels) Thirdly, my experience with the laser cutting is that the smell can last...

I’ll vouch for Keegan as well.

The 851N is a good product - as a streamer close to that magical spot where the law of diminishing returns kicks in. To see how good a streamer you have consider connecting a CD transport or quality CD player to the 851N using its DAC - that's the gap I guess you are trying to plug. My...

My top 2 headphones are an Audeze LCD X and Sennheiser HD820. Completely different sound profiles but prefer the LCDX for longer listening.
