Hi, deleted my previous reply cause it was misleading.
Had the local cable shop built a Pin3 floating cable, Neutrik XX XLR -> L-2T2S -> Neutrik Profi RCA
Worked as intended, sonically acceptable to me for the purpose.
Yeah.. it's a den/listening room under construction, nothing but concrete and dry wall when finished. Instead of covering the surfaces with soft material, I am considering just apply treatment as is.
Just shared the below in another thread, never try room treatment before (vs. MiniDSP), this type of service might come free from solution vendor, something to consider and might save some time...
Hi, want to share what I have been working on with the room treatment vendor, I paid for the service but many solution provider might do it for free. Something you can consider to cut out some guess work on room treatments.
So... was on the same quest about a year ago, make the story short, I end up with Grimm LS1. Just want to share my experience, don't want to stir up anything, did compared Kii/D&D...
So glad to see this review, the best part was the review sample is in BoXem Orange:) here is mine(4215/E2)...
Also the audio sense function is something I can't live without these days, such convenience…
I doubt it, the USB-Optical converion seems like extra step. Also, since you are using Roon, you can perform the Active Room Compensation in the 28s and should able to tweak the tonality with the PEQ in Roon to your liking.
I also looked into these, similar situation with Roon & analog source. For the Roon part, might just use it as ChromeCast and stream 96/24 to them, much easier that way.
The Audio sense (automatic on/off switching) on boXem works great, soon as my DAC/Streamer starts play back, the amp will turn on.
Had 3 different brands of DACs, no major issues on the audio sense.
