Thank you! Very true and I intend to do so. Sadly I only have the one micro SD card. I’ve ordered some already. I’ve heard of others having this issue and was hoping or a real fix. Ultimately I do not care which OS as long as it can be used headless long term.

I am not committed to Ropieee as I use this with HQPlayer >NAA. If another OS is is a better option, I’d try it gladly.

Ty Chris ! I tend to agree but my instance of Ropieee does not have access to the network. There is a pull down on the web interface but it’s empty. I’ve heard of others having a similar issue and I was hoping there was a simple adjustment somewhere.

I have a USBridge running Ropieeexl and cannot get it to play dsd512 without occasional glitches but it works fine with dsd256. It will play 512 fine using Ubuntu and requires about 58mbs at that rate. Flow is: Win 11> d link 1210 switch>USBridge. It’s an older switch and router, and I cannot seem to access the web interface on the switch. I’m hoping that I can adjust packets/ frames or priorities in the Win NIC. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

For me the format I want to purchase is the one it was recorded in. Rarely are things recorded using more than one format. The additional formats are then derived via software such as Saracon. I prefer to own the original and resample or convert as needed for my purposes. For playback much is determined by your DAC, or your preferences with your DAC and can be converted by software. My favorite is HQPlayer. It is popular here for PCM>DSD and its extensive options and capabilities. The developer, (user name Miska) is here as well.

Perhaps it is just me, but I find it interesting that Carver chose to market a tube amp when he claims that he can make a transistor amp sound like a(ny) tube one.

Good attitude, and I do not think it is fair to get upset that one missed out on new pricing. If we push attitudes like that and expect them to pay back the new discounts, we are removing any incentive for them to lower their prices. I have been extremely happy with Qobuz as a whole and see their lowering of prices as a potentially good thing for all of us who use it.

Carver?

Perhaps a wee bit from 10000 users leads to something. I dunno exactly. When I tried it for giggles it didn’t want to use my cpu, a 9900ks, but loved my older GTX 1060.

Typically they use GPU, not CPU anyway.

Upsampling does not make a file high resolution.

Ah, TY for the response. If not the higher pressure manifold, you might want to consider a surge tank there and moving the pump further away. Mine always bothered me even though once the music started it retreated into the background. I'd love to see plota, but don't do it on my account.

If I might ask, what manifold and what pressure are you using on this? I purchased a high pressure manifold, but have not installed it in mine.

This is THE reason. The effects of the boundary reinforcement will swamp out the other differences being discussed here.

Welcome to CA! First off, I am sorry to hear about your tweeter even though as a US citizen I am happy we lost ours. It sorta sounds to me as if you are loosing a USB connection. It might help if you describe your components and how they are connected. I have been using Qobuz since their beta testing in the US, and have never encountered a glitch that I could attribute to their service. I have had issues in the past with USB devices that had corrupted drivers or firmware.
