  1. Does 5.30 treat non-mqa files differently than 5.20?
  2. Waiting on the release of the Mac OS version so I can try this on my micro iDAC2.
  3. Big fan of Eric Johnson! What a mess of cables but creating sound is very different from reproducing sound, no?
  4. Just a follow up. Since the bass increased, it was just a bit too much for me. I measured my in-room response using OmniMic. Sure enough, the 20-150 Hz region was up about 2 dB. I lowered the Marantz A/V receivers Subwoofer output from -8.0 to -9.5. It really does not make technical sense to me how a power cable on a Mac mini that is outputting to a USB DAC can make such differences but clearly it does.
  5. Good to know. In my family room system, I don’t think I would go beyond the Pangea cables.
  6. So it is constantly accessing storage devices after all. I never said it was much data just that it’s constant. And those are Writes not Reads. So wear is not a real issue but in my case, I don’t want to hear it. I may go the external SSD route then.
  7. So the fact that running an activity capture utility on the NAS generated no log in 5 minutes when Roon was not running but did generate a 25 page log in 3 minutes when Roon was running doesn't tell me anything?
  8. First is without Roon running. Second is with Roon running. That constant 2KB/sec. dotted line does not exist when Roon is not running. They are both for about 5 minutes. When I quit Roon and wait a minute, I have no more disk access noise every 10-15 seconds.
  9. Yes, I have and it is Roon. Look at my post above that shows the log.
  10. I have been thinking a lot about this over the past month. I really like Roon and want to use it. I looked at getting an external SSD for my iMac so I don't have to hear the constant storage access noise. I just can't seem to put aside the wear factor. Am I over reacting? Have other Roon users just accepted this and don't worry about it?
  11. That’s what I heard and why I tried them.
  12. Here is my before and after 1/6th-octave smoothing response of on-wall Monitor Audio SoundFrame 2’s with an old NHT Sub Two i. Before the DSP, the sound was OK but after, it makes me want to listen more.
  13. Perhaps and I will be investigating that as well. As my post about that cable said- I am incredibly happy with that $45 purchase. Again- I don't care why. My foot is tapping and my head is bobbing more and that's what puts a smile on my face.
  14. I believe there is a lot that they don’t know about that affects what we hear and either can’t or don’t know how to measure it.
