![]() ![]() Close to the NT-505, maybe with a linear PSU. You need a switch between your NT-505 and your office. I can tell you that, for my ears, no difference in PSAudio (roon x minimserver), no difference in dcs (roon x minimserver), hqplayer is better in sonore ultrarendu (roon x minimserver x hqplayer). I am not very knowledgeable also, and I can only share my personal experience and the experience of others that I see in different fora. Apart from different loudness (a louder source will be perceived as better), I can only imagine that might be some difference in implementation between the roon code and the upnp code, that favors the upnp. But I have no experience with your endpoint/streamer. That is basically what Andrew is telling us, from a dcs perspective (that matches my opinion). You see, the code to act as a roon endpoint is different from the code to act as an upnp endpoint, and also is different from the code to act as a HQPlayer endpoint.įor equal level implementations, one should not hear any difference in SQ. Or it’s the way the code is implemented, as I understand that your upstream chain is the same to minimserver and to roon. My guess is that the “RAAT” protocol implementation makes all the difference. Then, moving to the dcs vivaldi, all things are equal again. Moving to the rendu line, HQPlayer was way better than roon or minimserver. My experience is that, with the psaudio bridge (in the directstream dac) upnp (minimserver) was about the same as roon. ![]() Should you get a rendu, you could try the Roon+HQplayer solution. It may as simple as a respberry (for comparing roon to minimserver), more elaborate as a SOtM or a Sonore Rendu ,or the fanciest type like a dcs bridge or an innuos server. nice app, and works well.įinally, should you have one at hand, or the possibitliy to borrow from someone, try a different renderer. cat7 are grounded lan cables, and they maight be injecting noise into your system, connecting your router ground to your TEAC ground (that is one possible explanation o perceived better SQ on a USB stick than any of your solutions via ethernet).Īlso, as said before, be sure to exatly level match your minimserver and roon. Try swapping your last cat7 cable for cat5e or 6.
