Hi everybody, I am wondering for years why the most expensive app in the world of hifi and high end only has a sound quality which is only ok.If you compare Roon with JPLAY i think JPLAY has only a few people to develope software and improve sound quality. But here the difference. What is Roon doin…

None of those suggested explanations really work. A digital PCM signal that does not properly arrive at the DAC will cause drop outs or be error corrected. Network congestion or processor strain does not change a digital signal. So what does work as a possible explanation? There is a wide range of …

Ahhh, my mistake. It is called a “Network Music Player” but I didn’t look closely at the back side…

So, you found a subjective listener experience that you can accept?

I noted my own possible bias and that I can’t be sure without measuring it. As I can’t hear a difference after a subjective tiny volume adjustment, I’m fine with that. I trust the software director of Naim would first be able to distinguish a difference if there was one (and then wouldn’t use Roon …

It’s not a volume issue - it’s definitely timing and oace. I’m struggling to explain it - hence why I posted ChatGPT’s theory. It’s reminds me that I enjoyed some music more from CD’s than streaming - Dandy Warhols, for example. I think it’s the timing. It may well suggest the Naim applies diffe…

In the hallowed halls of audiophilia, where the quest for acoustic perfection is more sacred than the silence in a monastery, a groundbreaking revelation is about to send shockwaves. Audiophiles, brace yourselves, for the game is about to change, not with another esoteric piece of equipment, but wit…

Almost 240 posts discussing about “sound quality” of a bit perfect player, with references to ChatGPT in the meantime. The joke is not funny anymore. Turning around the meaning of the post, I think it would be interesting to know if it could be possible to build on porpouse a music player that does…

One could use the analog out to connect an ADC of course.

Anyway, I think a post of mine might have disappeared. I’m just going to link to it, it’s a quote by Naim‘s software director:
