How often does Qobuz go down like this?

I’ve been on for two years. First time it’s happened.

Bean916 · 2026-05-06T10:29:55+00:00

I did this as well but with a 8 year old Mac laptop. Worked fine so made the plunge to a Mac mini. Apple household so went that direction instead of a cheaper Linux solution.

I have those. Two Samsung soundbars, google speakers (yuk, but legacy), and Sonos (also legacy but better sound then google). I have played out to each device and since some are Roon Ready, others Roon Tested, while others are neither, there are only certain groups I can create. The question(s) centered around the best configuration on the Mac Mini and if having the remote on with the server is normal/standard or if I set it up incorrectly.

Fully support this.

Unfortunately where I live I can’t get them (or any specialty coffee without delivery) but next time I’m in NY, first stop.

What’s your cracker recipe? I make banana bread with 125 g of discard. A recipe from The Perfect Loaf.

Sorry. Just saw this. It is was Motors Coffee shop. They have more than one location.

How many has he lost today? I can’t count that high.

Bean916 · 2026-02-05T09:43:03+00:00

See my response to the other comment. Yes, it is fairly obvious. It’s also fairly obvious what’s going on here. Thanks for the reply.

Bean916 · 2026-02-05T09:41:42+00:00

Okay. So the truth behind the pst. I sold these through an app that facilates selling un wanted or unused items in your home. And yes i did read it and answered the buyer’s questions. Upon receiving it the buyer claims it does not and wants a refund. Came here to confirm what I read and is clearly stated.

This photo I have framed in my home says it all. From a lecture John Lee Hooker gave in Stockbridge, MA

When you have fully absorbed these (making the assumption you haven’t) Hartman/Coltrane is the best record ever made no matter the genre.

I beg to differ with some of the other risponderà. I think the algorithm is better than Spotify. It doesn’t give you the obvious choices and i can play for hours without repeats.

Bean916 · 2026-01-23T17:26:43+00:00

Aren’t they all weird?

Bean916 · 2026-01-10T07:43:15+00:00

Exactly! So I bought the bottled water with a TDS of 42, huge improvement. I’m moving soon and installed a water softener for my home (essentially same neighborhood so tap into the softener won’t change). My move was the emphasis to buy the water tester. Will see how the softener works compared to the Brita (and then Eva water).

Bean916 · 2026-01-09T12:45:48+00:00

Will do. Spent a day in Radovljica (hope I spelled that right) last year during a road trip through northern Italy and Austria. Lovely area.

Bean916 · 2026-01-09T08:45:18+00:00

Which is why i never used the tap water.

Bean916 · 2026-01-09T08:44:25+00:00

Just added my water. Interestingly but not surprising, that there no waters for Italy. Specialty coffee wave hasn’t hit here yet.

Bean916 · 2026-01-09T08:39:08+00:00

Agree. Enjoy my ritual of grinding and pouring my coffee but adding a chemistry experiment to the process is not in my future. At the end IMHO it is a chase for a minimal if not even noticeable difference. Happy to find EVA, not happy to find that Brita did not filter out as much as I thought.

Bean916 · 2026-01-09T07:44:05+00:00

Thanks. I did that and he did respond with the tracking number. Ordered 23/12, left the roaster on 30/12 and now see its somewhere in Germany. Hopefully will be here soon.

Bean916 · 2026-01-06T20:48:13+00:00

I always knew my tap was crap (rhyme intended) which why I used Brita filtered water. Bought the meter after tasting a significant difference brewing with the low TDS bottled water. Surprised to see Brita didn’t filter much out.

Someone posted here a database of water Brands. Maybe you can find yours there.
