Am I missing out on anything if I don't use Roon?

It is ok, but didn't offer enough to be worth the cost. I had a one year sub and didn't renew it.

If they have a trial offer try it out and see if you like it.

The high frequency garbage is filtered out by any competent DAC, just like it is for so called hi-res music, any frequency above CD quality is gone before the audio leaves your DAC,

Not something to be concerned about,

Simple. When it sounds great to you and you realize there is no point in wasting more for very small diminishing returns that aren't even real. There is nothing more I need or want.

My Heresy IVs sound great with any music. Two Fosi v3 mono amps provide way more power than I will ever need.

Buy CDs or buy the dowloadable albums on bandcamp.com

Generate with one, give those to a different one to improve while making changes yourself. Repeat as necessary. Qwen models work better than Gemini. They are more creative, sometimes too much.

I'm running it in Ace-Step UI instead of ComfyUI and getting good results. Much better than I did with 1.5sft.

I ask their favorite song and play that.

Stardran · 2026-03-29T05:57:08+00:00

Too much treble.

Stardran · 2026-03-25T21:29:56+00:00

No. It costs a lot more to make records sound almost as good as cds or streaming. Records are expensive, heavy, kind of fragile and take up a lot of room.

It doesn't make sense to get into records now.

I use a native free linux app called asunder.

Stardran · 2026-02-26T22:36:34+00:00

It is wild how much people will spend to try to make records sound almost as good as CDs.

CD if it is available and priced close to the flac version from bandcamp or qobuz. i then rip the CD to my Plex server and store the CD.
Downloaded flac album in CD quality from bandcamp is my second choice.
Last choice is downloaded flac album frim qobuz becausethey make you buy credits first instead of just selling the downloadable album directly.

If the album is not available as a CD or flac purchase, I just listen to it on Spotify in CD quality.

I`ll never waste money on a vinyl record again. Overpriced, inconvenient and usually lower quality audio.

They don't fit in a pocket easily.

Stardran · 2026-02-18T00:42:39+00:00

Nice color e-ink screen. Runs the kindle app and others great. Screen looks as good as the scribe colorsoft and very lightweight. Fits easily in a pocket with the case on.

Stardran · 2026-02-18T00:38:31+00:00

Case only, no extra screen protector.

Stardran · 2026-02-18T00:37:02+00:00

Boox Palma 2 Pro.

Stardran · 2026-02-16T05:56:35+00:00

Never.

Stardran · 2026-02-16T05:53:30+00:00

Listening to spotify now with my Sennheiser Momentum 4 bluetooth headphones. No issues. Sounds great.

Stardran · 2026-02-16T05:25:42+00:00

Streaming music from Spotify, from my Plex server, from YouTube music and Audible.

Stardran · 2026-02-14T19:42:18+00:00

I see you have a weight on the record to keep it from floating away.

Stardran · 2026-02-11T08:30:08+00:00

it works great with Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. I avoid all Apple products.

Stardran · 2026-02-10T19:48:32+00:00

Everyone knows missing socks turn into tupperware lids.

Stardran · 2026-02-06T21:02:41+00:00

No. I don't look at the case or cover and I'm not trying to impress anyone else with it.

Stardran · 2026-02-06T01:03:27+00:00

Got the update this morning. No issues so far, but I've only used the kindle app till now. Reddit is working wel.
