Hi, I've ordered a Baltic3 from Lampizator. I'll connect it via AES/EBU to my Bridge. I also use a Mac Mini to play Audirvana and other computer softwares now and then. How should I connect the Mac? Directly to the Baltic or to the Bridge using USB? Other options? Many thanks,

Hi, I wanted to share an issue I had and solution provided by Andrew from dCS after many, many hours and weeks of frustration. Setup: QNAP NAS, mac Mini 2018, dCS Bartok on my network. My router is a Comcast gateway, made by Technicolor, provided by the internet service provider. Installed 2 months ago. Problem: Constant disconnection from network; Roon could no longer find the Dac suddenly. Did not happen in USB mode. Troubleshooting: Thanks to many at Roon and dCS in offering me solution pths. This has been lasting for weeks and streaming music on my network was unlistenable. Andrew, Streaming and programme Manager at dCS sent this suggestion; This Technicolor router is a nightmare… Try this: Go to the router’s admin page and login Navigate to “Advanced -> Device Discovery” Under UPnP click on “Disable” Click “Save” and let the router reboot Well, I did this and , Voila, no issues disconnecting anymore. I thought I'd pass this forward, in case one of you has a similar issue with a router. Thanks again to dCS and Roon for their support. Bernard

Hello, Very unscientific of me, changed 2 variables in my test at the same time. Did a SMC reset and a Onyx management scan and Roon humming at 8% after an hour, This might be a Eureka moment. Many tanks yo all.

Thank you for your input. Sorry for the delay, not from lack of interest, but a major snowstorm around here. When the CPU is running wild, it lasts the entire time Roon is running. I will try the system management approach suggested above. No issues on my Android or Ipad remote btw. Thanks

Thanks for hanging in AudioDoctor. Yes, I had originally posted there, along with other clients, but like I said, my issue went away for a few weeks and the thread was closed. I'll re-ask them but thought this group might have a solution. Thanks again.

Catalina, the latest.

All regularly updated. Roon has had some complaints , like this one, but no solution to my knowledge.

Hi, I've addressed this to the great folks at Roon but the issue went away before they actually tried to do something. Well, it came back: When Roon is running on my 2018 Mac Mini (3.2Ghx, i7 core) , the fan goes on and Roon is drawing 300% CPU usage. The fan noise is so loud, I close up Roon and chose an alternative. Has anyone had this issue and what have you done to solve it? Roon normally functions at about 7% cpu, sometimes less. No other app is running that has not run before, or when it performed normally. Tanks Bernard

Thank you, all of you for these comments. I have been using the Bartok on my network only for a while now, not using the MAc via USB. Regards and Thanks again.

Thanks. I actually thought the Rendu helped with USB noise, didn't know it acted as a streamer. I thought it went between the Mac and the Bartok also. Not exactly sure why Chris raves about it and what it does. Bernard

I see a few XLR . See picture please. thx

Hi, In Chris' great review of the Meitner DAC, he said: The best sound, without question, was had by pairing the DV2 with the Sonore Signature Rendu SE Optical feeding the USB input of the DV2. Can someone explain, in layman terms, where in my system I could use a Sonore? System: QNAP NAS, Tidal on my network---dCS Bartok Dac-streamer-XLR to Nagra amp- Acapella speakers. Mac Mini running Roon--USB into the Bartok. So, what device and where would I use it in this setup? Thanks, Bernard

What did the firmware correct in the Rossini?
