Showing (off) your Roon setup - description and photos [2024]

Should it be sat directly on it or just above it in the rack though?

AC Infinity AIRCOM T9, Quiet Cooling Fan System 17" (43 cm) for Receivers, Amps, DVR, AV Cabinet Components https://amzn.eu/d/34aJbnP

If an Amp needs active cooling via an external device, then said amp has insufficient passive cooling or possibly a fault.

Just my view of course :wink:

I had looked at infinity site and it is for rack mount, but it would need refrigeration to work if the air in room is warm, otherwise it is just blowing the warm air around.
It is just a fan system as far as I can see.

@Tor_Gunnar_Berland your left speaker is 1 inch over to the left compared to the right :wink:

Fabulous setup :+1:

You might be right; just had the B&W 801D4 out to mount Sigberg Audio Inkognito12 subwoofers on the wall.

About a month ago, I added a new device to my main system.

Nubert’s new preamp + DAC + network streamer (nuControl X).

Sounds fantastic and works absolutely reliably. My Roon library sits on an iMac in my study → wireless streaming (up to DXD or DSD 512) without any dropouts. 99% of the music in my library is locally stored. I use Qobuz (and Apple Music) mainly to discover new artists and albums.

Are the speakers custom? Beautiful space.

Thanks a lot, Craig. The speakers are Backes & Müller Line 35s (digital/DSP-based active speakers).

Super clean. How are both the integrated and the fosi amps used with your other preamp/dac setup?

The Pioneer and Akai are used only seldomly. The DAC/Preamp goes straight to the Fosi amps balanced and then to the Buchardt’s.

Hi Will,
Since when are you into extreme high res (DXD, DSD 512 etc.)? :wink:

Hi Wolfgang,
I know why you’re asking. :wink: To be honest, I only have three or four DXD files and only one DSD 512 track. I just use them to test if my “WiFi only” network is as rock solid as I want it to be…

I have the same AKAI Reel to Reel. Love It. Purchased it new over 30 years ago. Have not listened to it in a very long time.

Hopefully before the end of this year I will have my new listening area completed. Long time slow moving project but I see the end in sight.

Hi, great setup, love it. I am curious about the great looking lamps you are using. I am looking for very thin lamps for a long time, but yours would be perfect to my home too. Can you please tell me the brand of them and where to buy?

Thank you very much for help
