Showing (off) your Roon setup - description and photos [2021 .. 2022]

Poor Man’s setup #1

Vincent Sv-233 main amplifier moving Focal Dalin 3.1 from a kit (late '80’s last century you were able to purchase all elements and build the speaker yourself)

Roon was supposed to be listen against the Sq Touch on picture but soon I purchased a ProJect combo Stream S2 Ultra plus PreBox S2 digital DAC

Vynils and Cd’s are still present and I like them too. CD Player Marantz Cd94 MkII and Rega P1

Poor Man’s setup #2

Quite simple: self powered speakers Prodipe and Sq Duet. Nice sound on the bedroom for listening before sleeping and sometimes just awaken.

I reach Roon from LMS (Sq players) and now I run Roon on a i3 silent Pc -under Windows- and my music is stored onto a NAS Ds218j. Roon plays on the main equipment by cable and on bedroom by WiFi.

Music reaches Roon from a separate room under PLC connection

I was attempting to pull a plug from the back of an Audioquest 5000. You may know that they deliberately make the connections very (very) tight. I could not easily get behind the unit and asked my wife to do it (which she did), and looking at the cables, she commented “no credit given for a tidy installation?”

so many great systems on this thread! …an updated snap of my humble working man’s system sporting the recent addition of a turntable:

So how does one tell if the audio system in the photo is located in Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa or Australia?

I try to look at either the light switches or receptacles , if they are shown in the photo. If in doubt one can always ask :grin:

What’s your method?

Valves n vinyl with horn speakers. Love it.

Does it work :grin:

Yes it does! On the ROON Settings screen there is a "Enable Squeezebox Suppotrt " toggle switch. Thats the main reason I purchased the lifetime membership for ROON. Even though it only upsamples to 24/48, the Duet was my first foray into streaming music and I’ve never looked back. Still can’t believe Logitech abandoned streaming (along with their great universal remotes). Oh, whoops, you were talking about the remote. No, it does not “control” ROON.

WOW! I cant believe how much noise, distortion, and unwanted audio “artifacts” our RatsNests are adding to our music! Poor us! :grin:

I just tell my wife that cable entropy is the result of applying chaos theory to EMI mitigation. She rolls her eyes and walks away. :slight_smile:

HAHA. My wife just asks if she can hide the mess with fake plants! And, since she is always right (truly!), I totally agree!
