OK, thanks. It is displayed under "Roon Ready", but as "uncertified". If you select "Enable", an error message appears. Hopefully the certification will soon be completed and positive.

Unfortunately, only Airplay is displayed for me. What do I have to do so that Chromecast is also displayed?

I have replaced my C 658 and C 298 with an M10. Costs less, is more compact, has a nice display, no difference in sound.

I also had one for a few years and never had a problem. The only disadvantage I found was the largely useless headphone output (no individual volume setting, Dirac has to be switched off manually every time). Otherwise very reliable and faultless.

So you have an additional analog-digital-digital-analog conversion in your chain.

Maybe someone has already said this on the previous 393 pages, but don't we all know that the discussion is pointless? Can you convince a homeopath that his pills have been scientifically proven to make no difference? See for example Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of...

As a little foretaste, here are two videos from the Norddeutsche Hifi-Tage at the beginning of this month (some news from Piega, Lehmannaudio etc.). Everyone was surprised at how well attended they were. That's good news and wasn't always the case. By the way: The Elac guy says that he...

That would interest me too.

Is blind testing objective? I would rather say that it serves to eliminate the cognitive distortion caused by the visual impression.

+1 for the apple dongle.

To quote ASR Homepage: Don’t just be a gear head! :) Greetings to all from Bonn! Birthplace of Beethoven, to whom we owe the most beautiful music ever (even if he could no longer hear it in the end and would not have needed a DAC with SINAD > 120...). Picture The white T-shirt in Bonn...

Nice idea, this poll. My experience: Amplifier doesn't matter (hopefully we can all agree on that). Speakers play a major role. Room plays an even bigger role. I have three systems with Dirac (full): Home cinema (somewhat acoustically optimised): NAD T778, Canton Reference K speakers, 5.1.4...

If you want a Node whose DAC will probably have very good measurement results, buy a Node X. But you will certainly not hear any difference to the other Nodes (or other DACs discussed here with excellent measurement results) neither in your bathroom, nor living room or outside. All differences...

No. But I have read posts that have labeled devices as "nonsense devices" just because the measurements were worse than the top ranking measurements. Even though Amir himself said they were "good enough".
