ISO2DSD is freely available for windows PC and it is what I have been using for many years now.

Thanks. I was curious as to which of those options the other user with the DMP-A8 was using.

Thanks BD Thanks BDWoody. What is the processing power/memory on your Synology (what model do you have)?

Thanks for the tip, I have also asked on the Zidoo forum. In the meantime: where do you run Roonserver? On the DMP-A8 or somewhere else?

I'm looking at the DMP-A8 to potentially replace my first-gen Auralic Altair. I run a large library on a NAS via ethernet (180,000 tracks). My question : Does anyone have any user experience with the built-in app, regarding managing and navigating a large library (searching by genre, artist...

My point about my library was merely to point out that the system works reliably (most of the time as with any decent software) in spite of the database size. Deezer and Tidal have no real impact on the load on the Roon system as they are on demand streams. Local files do however.

I also have a Tidal subscription embedded in my Roon, so... I just prefer to have my own collection (including a lot of DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256 files plus thousands of Hi-Rez FLAC albums) on my own hard drives.

FWIW, I second the recommendation of moving Roon Core (the server) off of your windows computer and onto a dedicated box. I have been running Roon ROCK on a dedicated fanless NUC, while the files are stored on my Synology NAS. I can control Roon / Music playback from any device in the house as...

I really enjoyed them. They were the first 'high end' speakers I ever heard, as a teenager. When my uncle was ready to let them go, I snapped them up and had the woofer surrounds replaced. They were in my system the longest, of all the speakers I have owned. If they are in good condition...

Same here. I have the 1819+ with extra ram and SSD flash and I didn't do it either. The Roon website provides clear info on the minimum recommended hardware and it is well above the level of the average Synology. I use my Synology for storage of the music files, but Roon Core (ROCK) runs on a...

A NUC is a mini computer (Next Unit of Computing), with few (or in the case of a fanless NUC, zero) moving parts. You can buy them ready-built with an Intel Corei5 or Corei7 cpu, a small SSD hard drive (say 128GB or 256GB) and 16 Gb of Ram. You install a special version of Roon called ROCK on...

What wicky says. I have a much more powerful NAS than the one described above (I have a Synology DS1819+ with extra Ram and 2x400 GB SSD Cache) and even I don't run Roon server (Roon Core) on that NAS although it is (on paper) able to do so. I run Roon on a dedicated NUC (fanless) and use the...

Was able to order wbt 0700 clones through partsconnexion! Thanks everyone.

thank you, just reached out to them. We'll see. These things are like hen's teeth...

Now to find 8x wbt 0700....

Dang, that is well-spotted! Just googled wbt-0700 and found this:

Thanks, I had seen that page earlier but could not find any links for Mirage and gave up. This time, I went to 'submit request' and was able to send the message. We'll see.

Hi, I have a pair of tri-wire Mirage OMD-28 speakers in a second system. 8 of the 12 binding posts are missing the lugs that go over the thread and tighten the banana plug. The first picture shows the binding post with the missing lugs. The other two pics are of the lugs themselves. I am...

SQ has been consistently excellent. I have owned the larger ones (Synthese 1, pictured above in this thread) and I have listened extensively to the smaller model (Synthese 2, pictured in this post). Over the years, I have owned ESS AMT1, Martin Logan Quest, Martin Logan Ascent, Thiel CS 3.4...
