You missed one important part on Roon: It allows you to create a unified library and playlists that includes music from all of your streaming services (Tidal, Qobuz, KKBOX) and your locally stored (or stored on Dropbox) music collection. I do have a lot of albums and songs, that are not available on streaming services. I also have some high quality recordings which I got directly from the studios in DSD format. Now with Roon, you can play this all together as one music experience, no matter where you are (thanks to Roon ARC). In this respect, Roon is superior to streaming clients like BlueSound, Sonos, Heos, Auralic Lightning DS, Naim, etc.

@aupperlee 3 месяца назад

Hey Andrew and Kristi! Love the conversation. Couple of points about Roon that were missed… It doesn’t support Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. I use it with Qobuz, and it works with Tidal and a few other less popular services. The cool thing about devices that are “Roon Ready” is that Roon can group multiple end points for whole home playback. It can do this with “Roon Tested” devices as well, but it can only group devices using the same protocol (AirPlay, Chromecast, Sonos, etc). The good thing about modern Sonos devices is that they support AirPlay2, so you can interact with Sonos endpoints in that way to get Sonos and non-Sonos AirPlay devices playing back in synchronicity. Others have mentioned the DSP capabilities and cataloging prowess, and ability to blend local music files and streaming files… all of which are highlights of the service. One feature I appreciate is that Roon allows you to see the full audio signal chain per endpoint, including sampling rate and bit depth, and if there is any conversion that Roon has done.

@irisfinchmusic 3 месяца назад

Does Roon sound better playing local files compared to Qobuz streamed files? ...or do the Quobuz files sound just as good? thx...

@irisfinchmusic 3 месяца назад

Does Roon have the ability to "upsample" FLAC files, and if so, have you noticed a sound improvement from that? thx...

@betaomega04 3 месяца назад

I2S, conventionally, is the internal digital signal that all digital audio devices use. The signal includes data as well as clock signals. The problem with transferring audio signals over USB is that it does not include clock signals, which are important to reducing and eliminating jitter in the sound. PS Audio figured that they could take that I2S signal and directly output it (without converting it to another output types like Toslink, AES, or Coax that had not-so-great signal limitations) using a modified HDMI-type port and cable to an external DAC. The advantage to this is that digital source devices can now use external DACs to process High-Resolution sound. Before, you were stuck with whatever DAC was inside the digital source. PS Audio decided to use an HDMI cable to accomplish this because the physical design of the cable is already conducive for digital data. Hope this helps!

Good morning and great job as always. You’ve touched on something that I hope many will appreciate - there are many ways to achieve the same result in modern audio kits/setups. And navigating these choices can be very difficult, especially for those newer to the hobby. I believe you’ve made your channel more attractive by offering both formats; more experienced viewers that simply want a quick review will appreciate the shorter initial review while newer enthusiasts benefit from enhanced discussion from the “Unplugged” offering. This creates a “win win” IMO. So once again, freaking awesome job as you continue to raise the bar for content delivery.

I love my A8. I wouldn’t say it was warm but it has a slight absence of thwack/dynamics in the lower minds that makes it sound slightly softer than, say, my old RME-ADI,or the A6. But nevertheless this is a small trade off for all the things it does amazingly well - soundstage, tonality, timing, cohesion, separation and depth are all the best I have heard in my system.

Does it make sense to use the DMP-A8 with the KEF LS60 given that the LS 60 have built-in DACs? I assume I would have to bypass the DAC in the DMP-A8 and use the LS 60 DACs. Is a large part of the value/cost of the A8 over the A6 and A6 Master the improved DAC, which I would not be using with the KEF LS 60? or do I have this all wrong?

Hello again. First, thanks for answering my question regarding the power strip, Andrew. I wasn't able to quite articulate it in the best way - and I know that it probably wasn't clear. I really couldn't finish the question. I apologize for that. I do have a question regarding the Eversolo line: Do you get the same level of separation, detail, etc., between the A6 and the A8?

@andrewrobinsonreviews 3 месяца назад

Hope my answer worked for you. Another viewer dressed me down for my reply or answer to your question citing forums and whatnot and taking issue with my using PS Audio as an example, I don't know. Anyway, I hope you got the answer you were after. To anyone who may also read this, I'm not, or wasn't, saying that using a power conditioner etc., results in better sound quality, I was simply saying that it's possible to use one with an amplifier if its rated well enough to handle the demand. As for your Eversolo question, the A8 is better or enhanced compared to the Z8. I don't want to make up a percentage of how much better, but I can hear differences pretty clearly and with regularity.

@dawaynecleckley8673 3 месяца назад

Roon has just been bought by Samsung, it’s not going anywhere champ.

@@pgansz I'm pretty sure it is limited to 192KHz PCM upsampling on the A6.

Andrew did you see that Classé have put out a mk ii of the preamp? Also an upgrade for the mk i, though that costs more than the Eversolo.

So, talking in stereo sound quality, Z8 or A8 is better?

@gbrowser5867 3 месяца назад

I'm wondering how the Eversolo connected to a good amp compares in sound quality to an all-in-one device like the Marantz 40N? I prefer to play ripped CDs and digitized vinyl from an SSD drive and I'm really impressed with the Eversolo option of connecting an SSD drive internally. On the other hand, although the Marantz HEOS system is a bit bland for streaming, it is very effective for accessing music from an SSD drive, so long as the drive is formatted in NTFS rather than FAT32.

We've been doing a version of this for years on our regular review videos where she chimed in at the end of the official review. It's a shame that it would appear some of the audience has been missing out. Regardless, I'm glad you are enjoying it!

Okay, I'm liking the new format with the Unplugged episodes, even though new things make me uneasy. I'm also liking Kristi handling the sometimes slightly unhinged commenter names.

+1 to loving the new format. 2 questions and 1 comment: Does the DMP-A8 sound so much better than the MiniDSP SHD to justify the cost? Does tv (music shows) sound better when routed through the A8? I like Roon for two reasons: music discovery with the ability to look up the artist and the ability to Cast the lyrics and artist to my Sony TV. Love the show and appreciate the work that goes into it.

@andrewrobinsonreviews 3 месяца назад

Thank you for your support and for watching! It's not that I feel the A8 sounds crazy-different or better than the MiniDSP. Considering both are custom PEQ powerhouses, at least in the hands of a knowledgeable user, you can essentially get either product to sound however you like with a little tweaking. Stock from the factory, the A8 does a lot more than the SHD, but again, I don't think these are two products that are aimed at novice or users who are going to leave factory or well-enough alone. From a usability standpoint, the A8 absolutely takes the cake and is the "better" product in my opinion. But the SHD has DIRAC and better, easier subwoofer integration so if those things are important to you, you should probably get the MiniDSP.

@crm4742 3 месяца назад

@@andrewrobinsonreviews Thanks for your quick response! So unexpected these days and just another reason why your channel is the best in so many ways. I own an SHD but have always wanted to try some of the other formats (DSD) which the A8 would open up. In addition, after buying the Concept 50’s (thanks A & K), I don’t feel the need to “tweak” as much as I used to. You’ve given me a lot to think about as it sounds like a great product.

Hi Andrew and Kristi! My wife and I enjoy watching your videos together. Sonically, my wife prefers a similar sonic signature/profile to Kristi…lighter in the bass, more pronounced in the midrange. She has the same issue with hearing and understanding vocals in music (primarily female vocals), especially at low volumes. I’m sure you’ve heard of the Fletcher-Munson effect (at lower volumes, we typically have more difficulty hearing lower bass and upper treble, which is what loudness buttons were designed to help with). It seems her hearing works in the opposite way…at low listening levels, she has trouble hearing midrange frequencies. I wonder if Kristi is the same? I also wonder if the Fletcher-Munson tests were mainly done on men? Food for thought. Anyway, like you did for Kristi, we made a special EQ curve in our WiiM app for my wife’s preferred sound signature. Thanks for the videos.

We should talk offline about Roon. With your technical capabilities and strong ability to explain such things in a way that everyone can understand, I see opportunities that are mutually beneficial to you and Roon subscribers. Roon is so much more than a skin over music streaming services. It's a useful tool for a reviewer. I can explain more on a call. BTW, I enjoy this new format. Great work. ❤

Are you guys ever going to review Samsung's "The Frame" TV? Just mentioning it here because it's a great option for displaying album artwork & eliminating the need for components with screens on them.
