Any further news on this?

Wouldn't using the opamps like that bring in more distortion due to a longer signal path and/or RFI?

Any updates from Q11 Meta users? I'm interested in them.

If you like the way the tube amp sounds, why would you want to start messing with it? Buying a tube amp and building a system around it shows commitment to it. Knowing how people think about room correction here reads as you having a good understanding of what people think and what measurements...

I couldn't believe how bad the record sounded when I heard it... just lifeless. His voice still sounds amazing, but the record is just plodding. A huge disappointment.

Just got to ask... are you absolutely set on having the Benchmark DAC? From what measurements show, the Flex is functionally transparent sound wise... Reread and saw it's the Flex digital... enjoy your choice! :)

What a load of audiophoolery! But I guess for every scam there is someone who'll fall for it.

I understand. At least what happens in JRiver is that you use the ASIO driver of your device in its settings to choose the audio output, and then use the wasapi on top to redirect everything in Windows through that. You may not need it, but I do as I use Roon but need the audio processing of JRiver.

I agree, it makes you unpopular ;). Jokes aside, I see your point. Going my route is more cumbersome and takes some tinkering. It is though in my opinion the most cost-effective way of having a high performance digital based system where you can perform DSP as well as the most future-proof...

https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_out_wasapi There you have it! I don't use Foobar, but I'm guessing you just specify in Foobar what output you'll be using and with the wasapi component you'd be able to select it in windows sound settings, as per JRiver.

Yep, when you have JRiver open it controls the volume, should happen the same in Foobar. However, with JRiver WASAPI as the default audio output for Windows it controls all audio (I have system sounds silenced in any case). It's a digital attenuator as GFinlays says, but with the 64 bit headroom...

I use this: DROK USB Volume Controller My setting is different (Roon + JRiver with DIRAC plugin) but I'm pretty sure that it should work, as it's plug and play. I use a Beelink Mini S as the pc. If you're single source then it's a no brainer. In my case I also have a turntable connected to...

Hi, reviving an old thread! I don't know if this is what you wanted, but I use a headless Windows mini pc server which has JRiver with the Dirac plugin, plus Roon to tie it all in. I even connect a turntable by using a radio streamer and connect through Roon! Just use the JRiver Wasapi as the...

"Yes the controls are plastic unlike the glory days when they were metal. But the feel is good, if a bit light." You can always change the knobs! Loads to find on aliexpress, eBay, amazon, etc...
