  1. Thanks guys. Gapless playback would be not an issue to me as I play music via RoPieee / Roon. JRiver would then only need to serve as a convolution engine that sends audio through DLNA (the goal is to have convolution also when watching movies). The Kanex looks interesting, thanks. It does not seem to be available in Germany though, a comparable solution with a Coax Out seems to be https://shop.sommercable.com/en/Electronics/HDMI/HDMI-7-1-Audio-Extractor-4K-18G-DVM-HDT-AUDEX.html#tab_attributes
  2. Thanks for the input! I've been using JRiver for some years and while I moved for Audio to Roon, I still have it running on the server for being able to listen to my music on the road (via JRemote) and for watching movies. Since my experience with setting up JRiver is kind of hit and miss, I would like to skip it altogether and am looking at Jellyfin server and Infuse as a AppleTV client. This would sync also my "number of views" which currently is a bit annoying when watching TV series: I watch some episodes on the HTPC using JRiver, then a few days later I want to watch on my AppleTV with Infuse and am not sure which episode to continue on.. Anyway, as you say, the audio needs to be convoluted when it "exits" the server as there seems to be no client for the AppleTV that supports convolution. This is only for internal use. When I am on the Go, this does not matter. So one viable way would be to output from the Server via DLNA through JRiver to some DLNA client on AppleTV, which would give me convolution, correct? This would still leave me with the "no synced number of views" reported above for any other clients. Audiovero offers an "offline convolution" which would give me the filtered media files already but this is something I would like to omit as this doubles my storage space..
  3. Hi there, hope this is the correct forum for this kind of question: I start with some background: As of now, I have a Windows Server based server that is attached via LAN to my network. A HTPC is connected to the same network with JRiver installed via LAN and to a DA-converter via USB. I use Accurate to filter audio both when listening to music and when watching movies in JRiver (filters are being processed on the JRiver instance on the HTPC). What I do consider now is getting rid of the HTPC and getting an AppleTV. Since the AppleTV does not have a dedicated Audio-Out, I consider a "HDMI extractor" and use Coax for getting audio to the DA-converter. Since the AppleTV does not offer the possibility to convolute: do I have any chance of having a real-time convolution happening on the server so that when the movie is played via AppleTV, the DAC would receive the convoluted audio? Would considering an Nvidia Shield be beneficial in any way with regard to this consideration? Hopefully my idea makes sense and I look forward for your input.
  4. Geithain 901K. They are connected via XLR to an exaSound e20 DAC.
  5. When deciding between DAC and pre-amp: isn't also the output impedance and voltage relevant to match with the amp/powered speaker? I am currently looking for a new DAC (to use with powered speakers) and the speaker manufacturer says, that output impedance should be <100Ohm (with at least 1.5V-2V) which redlines lots of DACs on my list if I do not want to use a dedicated pre-amp.
  6. I think Acourate has an option to load .cal and .txt calibration files (File->Import Amplitude). I can't remember what happens then though, I think you need to invert this measurement but I am not sure..would need to dig a bit as I have not used Acourate in a couple of months (after I created filters I was happy with). I use ASIO4All on the measurement PC which is connected via USB to an exaSound e20 DAC. The UMIK-1 is connected to the PC via USB. However, I plan to upgrade my DAC, so I keep an eye on solutions that have a MIC preamp built-in (e.g. Merging Anubis) in order to omit the clock issue but I think the way of having a dedicated mic preamp (e.g. on a RME babyface) connected to the DAC is probably more realistic as DACs that have a (good) Mic preamp are mostly lacking consumer functionality I would like to have.
  7. that is also my setup (UMIK-1 and Acourate). I've read about the potential clock drift and Ulrich Brüggemann explained on how to omit it (have not had the time to try it out myself though): (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/acourate/conversations/messages/9557😞 The Dirac option introduces Dirac pulses before, between and behind the logsweeps. Thus it is possible to measure the number of samples between the Diracs in the recording. If the number differs to the number of samples in the original logsweep then it is possible to calculate a correction factor. A multiplication with the samplerate gives a new samplerate. So you can apply a samplerate conversion (TD-Functions - SRC - special) to the logsweep recording and finally run a logsweep convolution on the resampled recording. This procedure allows to compensate a clock drift or time stretching/compression effect caused by a USB microphone. Here's a workflow some user has posted: 1. A mono logsweep is generated, including Dirac pulse option, at 48 khz samplerate 2. The distance between the Dirac pulses is 1080000-24000=1056000 samples in the original sweep 3. In the rec logsweep the distance between pulses has been found as 1056021 samples (21 more) 4. The logsweep_rec has been resampled at 47999.045 hz samplerate 5. Now the distance between the Dirac pulses is again 1056000 6. A logsweep convolution (menu Logsweep/Logsweep convolution) has been done 7. The result, Pulse48L, has been saved
  8. Can I play to the Anubis via WiFi? From what I've read, no, unfortunately. What also interests me: does it have some kind of "wake-on-lan" (standby?) functionality?
  9. Is the volume synchronization something you look into for Roon on Windows? I understand that sync is currently for no exaSound product possible?
  10. Ah, thanks. Thought that was directed at existing customers only..
  11. Is it possible to test version 2.0? The website seems to offer 1.2 only. I remember that I tested Dirac long ago but would like to give it another try with the new version and/or VST.
  12. I own the 901ka. Preety much the same speaker but with the amp out of the chassis. while I can't comment on that, meg speakers are known for sounding, all the same, obviously, the smaller models have less bass -but the sound character is comparable throughout the models. I can tell you that these speakers make home listening a terrific experience. even with the lowest volumes, you can hear an awesome dynamic. I never managed to get the overpower indicator to show red but I can tell you that they also sound great when playing loud. Of course that's subjective, so since they play rather neutral, it might not be everyone's cup of tea.
