As DrCWO mentioned.....the reason you look at his software is not for the singular Roon endpoint function (Ropieee is a better option) but for the various extensions he offers. I have used RooPlay (a RooExtend extension) for several years now and absolutely love it. RooPlay gives me the ability...

As the article says....I'll believe it when I see it. Even if they provide the service, doubt I'll sign up for it. If they added Roon support that would be a different story but I think the odds of that happening are somewhat less than zero. I use Tidal for Roon and streaming to my car and am...

This was how I interpreted the Sonos documentation. The follow on question is how exactly is the adapter working. Is it just doing a simple conversion in the digital domain and leaving the content bit perfect? Is it down converting it to a std low rez spec that Sonos supports?

Slightly off topic question.... I was a long time Sonos whole house audio user that gave it up on Sonos years ago and moved to Roon. It would be an understatement to say that my experience with Roon has been night and day better than with Sonos software. That said, I am interested in what Sonos...

Love the stuff that Wiim is producing these days and this is another nice box. Would really like to see an "Super Ultra" version that adds XLR outs and improves the phono support. As it is, I wouldn't swap out any of my devices for this. Add those improvements and I'd minimally use it for my...

With an iphone the battery is not really needed as you can just use a magsafe battery while using a DAC running from the port/OTG cable. I use this setup for listening to music or streaming stored video on planes.

Like SteveC, I have the Puffin and have been perfectly happy with it. It fits well within my setup (where I essentially use a DAC for my pre-amp) and it has performed nicely without issue for the past year+. The Waxwing brings a few new things to the table. The app control is a decent add and...

Really nice product....soooo close to perfect for me but no DSP on the analog input is a big miss. At this price, it would have been nice to have 2 analog inputs (one without and one with DSP). note - I'm assuming that I can have 2 different EQ setups for the RCA and Balanced outs, so that I...

Here is the user manual....a little hard to figure out the button sequence but there does appear to be an option to do a factory reset. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/TOPPING_D90_User_Manual.pdf?v=1609896094

I have my Boss 2 running on v9 and everything works fine including the display. I have a series of different Roon endpoints, including RPIs running RoPieee and a Matrix Audio Mini 3. Despite the driver issue (which was a hassle but didn't really affect my use of the box) the Boss 2 has been a...

Can't imagine they are alive anymore. They seem to have died a slow death during the Pandemic. At least Moode has finally evolved to where they have fixed the broken driver issue and you can install straight Moode without having to apply patches to get it to work. I've had a Boss2 for several...

Here is another interesting read on record claps/weights. The paper doesn't back the claims up with any measurement evidence but they seem to make some sense. http://hifigem.com/gm-paper/ One point brought up in the Toole papers was the impact of warping on sound. I've been using a RecodPi for...

Understand, but then you are in a dedicated HT room (unless your lucky enough that your wife signs off on a projection screen in your family room). I get the desire for the clean look in your HT room, placing them behind the screen (or even to the side with grills).....neither is going to be...

Agree on the pricey comment.... Also, in my house 37" x 14" grills are going to have zero WAF in any general living space (i.e., non-dedicated to audio/HT). Since I'm then relegated to a dedicated room (which I control), I might as well go for it and just get the free standing boxes. I...

Nice. For me the PEQ is the big news here. Not in its current form but what it could eventually become. Ideally, I would like to be able to set different profiles for the two outputs so that I could use it to configure the cross over in a 2.1 setup. Also add PEQ support to all the inputs as...

Cincinnati Ohio.

Over the last 3+ years, I've updated several of the systems in my house. One of the first ASR recommended boxes that I bought was the original D90 (with AKM DACs). I also own a couple of D10s and a DM70 (note - I have never had an issue with any of the Topping devices that I have bought). At...

I was an early adopter of SONOS before they ever got into speakers. I even had an original Sonos hand held controller. Sonus largely developed/popularized the whole house consumer market (after SqueezePlay exited the scene). Unfortunately, their early software was terrible. I spent many, many...

Mainly 2.1 in my office (either Roon/Tidal or Turntable) but I also do a lot of whole house listening (most of the rooms are in-wall/ceiling 2.0 setups). Also, have a dedicated 5.1 theater that I'm looking to upgrade into 7.2.2....just waiting on a decently priced performant AVP that I can...

Question: If I want to use WiiM Pro or Pro/Plus for whole house audio, can I do that with Spotify and Tidal sources? From the screen shots, it looks like it supports Spotify/Tidal connect implementations...which are typically single device destination setups. Would I then be able to take that...
