Thanks Lo_Tse. Happy holidays to you and to the community. Happily listening to great music as I saw this. Cheers!
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all. We’ll see if there’s enough interest for another get together in the New Year.
I'd be interested as well. It would be good to see everyone. The last meet included very few people.
I’m tied up until July 10th. Sundays seem best, July 16th or 23rd as an initial suggestion. Maybe again the fall if enough show interest.
Apple music with a Topping dac now in the shop.

I'm in for July 16th.
July 23rd is the Hungarian GP. Maybe a BBQ if there is one?
Someone bring a CLASS A for a bun warmer?

Just subscribed to Qobuz after a year of Amazon Hi Res, A year of Tidal and six months of Spotify. We should have a session of why one streming company over another and what each found and why. I want to hear other people's experiences and some may want to hear mine.
Hmmm, have one setting of my new trick hearing aids tuned for music listening. Guess I'm still an audiophile and happy to meet again. Nobody snicker please... it can happen to you too after 80.
Hearing aids are like $5,000 ear buds (fancy Phonaks are just $800/pair at Costco after OHIP contribution). But very carefully calibrated to your hearing and each ear separately, eh.
BTW, you need to properly mix the sound from the room with the sound coming from the hearing aids just right. Just like using REW to tune a crossover.

lol!
You crack me up Dave!
Actually, I would love to examine streaming services. I would also love to look at audio streamers! I have tried a few. Bluetooth is useless, WiFi didn't work great either, wired was much. much better. Yeah, Ethernet.
Anyone know about Roon and other applications? What I want to do is have music streaming to different devices so I can hear the same music on all floors. I refuse to buy another two Blusound Node 2i streamers. Plus mine is flaky (or is it Spotify, and I know they have problems).

I use Roon. I found it was not all that reliable for multiroom use via Wifi until I added a Mesh Wifi system, with each Roon endpoint plugged directly into a node. Now it works almost flawlessly.
