I find that Roon is pretty good at reconstructing metadata for much of what I have, that's how I first noticed the track swap on Brownbridge album, so I don't do much manual metadata editing. But sometimes the mess is too bad for Roon to figure out.

The good news about eClassical is that (as you note) they carry some great BIS and other smaller European label releases at very nice prices (loved "à la russe" by Alexandre Kantorow, yes, son of the conductor of the release you mention). The less good news is that metadata is terrible, often missing, and tracks can be scrambled (as they were in Angela Brownbridge's "Chopin: Four Ballades" that I got yesterday. TL; DR: promising, but more work needed for a top grade.

Works for me, but I don't use a Regen. It might help in your system, but I don't fell that I need an additional gadget between a microRendu and the SU-1, since the microRendu already has some of the Regen's circuity.

KitsuneHiFi has one of those on sale https://kitsunehifi.com/product/generic-i2s-hdmi-cable-0-3m/

With a SU-1 is there any reason to use USB directly into the Spring? Currently burning-in my new Spring through USB with varied PCM sample rates (I don't use DSD) following @Bimmer100's advice to make sure the internal crystals get exercised, but I have an SU-1 in place for when I actually start listening to the Spring.

Just those favorites I've heard live more than once, with a few albums I have and listen to where they perform: Charlie Haden (sadly departed): Land of the Sun, Last Dance, The Montreal Tapes Dave Holland: Conference of the Birds, The Art of Conversation, Not for Nothing, What Now? (led by Kenny Wheeler) Reuben Rogers: Mirror (led by Charles Lloyd), December Avnue (led by Tomasz Stanko) Larry Grenadier: Blues and Ballads (Brad Mehldau Trio), Year of the Snake (Fly Trio), Driftwood (led by Wolfgang Muthspiel) Christian McBride: West of 5th, Works for Me (led by John Scofield) Ron Carter: New York Reunion, New York Cool, E.S.P. (Miles Davis Quintet)

Thanks, I just did it but a bit differently: went to each setting page I could recall as relevant and printed it from Chrome as PDF to an appropriate file & folder. I have now a record of all the settings that matter for my systems (I think). Might as well, independently of the 2.5 release.

I think I know what the settings for my to mRs are, but I'm pretty sure I'll miss something, and waste time trying to track down the mismatch. It would be much nicer if you were to provide at least a small app/script for 2.3 that lists out all settings to the Web interface so that we can save them and re-apply after upgrading. I'm happy to pay the 20 bucks per unit (especially if some of that goes to fund further development), but I'm not happy wasting time reconfiguring systems that have been running untouched for many months. You made such a good, stable product that the kind of primitive upgrade you plan is a bit shocking by contrast. If your product was like C*****t's or A***e's, we would just shrug our shoulders and move on, but you set some high standards.

In no special order, a quick selection of key works from my 816 album jazz/classical/world library:

As another 2 microRendu owner, I'm with André totally. Jesus, it's not 20 seconds. First of all, we have to go figure out all the configurations selections we made since we had our microRendus. I for one can't remember, and the microRendu does not offer a simple way to summarize and save those settings. It's not the 20 bucks/microRendu, it's the hassle and your surprising lack of customer orientation that we are pointing out. Frankly, I expected more from Sonore and you given my previous excellent experiences.

I don't go to minimalist music for "emotional impact," I go for detachment, calm, retuning perception to be more sensitive away from everyday overload. YMMV.

Hey, you are actually listening to the music now, no fair! Actually, speaking seriously for just a minute, accuracy in reproduction and understandability are not perfectly correlated. Auditory perception is weird that way (and many other ways, as constantly attested by the "subjective" arguments here and elsewhere).

The karma of "make your point once and well then move on" is hard to accept but a great liberation for those who achieve it.

Wow, that must have been a treat! I never heard Hutcherson live, which is a shame given that he was often at SFJAZZ in his last decade and I get to lots of shows there, and I listen frequently to the new generation of jazz musicians he influenced through the SFJAZZ Collective (Eric Harland, Joshua Redman, Miguel Zenon, ..).

Why does it bother you? I love my Yggy, listening through mine very loud to Vijay Iyer's superb "Historicity" album, and my ears surely are not bleeding. I also know quite a bit about (mis)measurement professionally, so I can see through cherry picking. I've witnessed many barely contained net flame wars since before there was a proper internet. The long-understood conclusion is that some people have to "win" an argument no matter what, keeping at it until others leave the field exhausted. It's a lose-lose situation for forum admins ("censorship" vs "troll tolerance") and really worthless for anybody other than the obsessive "must win a zero stakes argument" participants. Why be one of them?
