March 23, 2017 Comments Off on Audirvana Plus announces MQA integration on Mac OS
“MQA continues to muscle through the audio world with yet another coup in the digital-audio player market. Audirvana Plus, the well-loved desktop music application for Mac OS has just announced that their latest Plus 3 player includes MQA software unfolding of the MQA origami codec. This type of MQA integration seems to be the same level of authentication as Tidal is offering in their desktop application. Audirvana Plus 3 player also implements a blue or green light for confirmation that the file is delivering an authorized sound recognized as identical to the source recording.”

Sound Galleries SGM 2015 Music Server Review
February 19, 2017 Comments Off on Sound Galleries SGM 2015 Music Server Review
“I listened to my system with the Sound Galleries SGM server for months, which adds up to hundreds of hours of listening time and lots and lots of music. Switching back to my sT/mR combo, which took all of a minute or so, was not a huge letdown. Changes included flabbier bass, less tonal variation, less precise sound location, less precise sound image, less depth, less height, less width, and generally music sounds a bit homogenized from track to track. There was sameness to the sound of music and things were a bit wilder and a bit woollier, which reduced the heights of emotional connection, and the sheer joy, of listening to lots and lots of music.
DCS VIVALDI VERSION 2.0 REVIEW
February 3, 2017 Comments Off on DCS VIVALDI VERSION 2.0 REVIEW
” Much of the emphasis of these Version 2.0 upgrades is targeted at improving the ability of users to employ high-resolution sources. I personally continue to like playing CDs, but the industry is clearly moving with the introduction of servers. So when Quick proposed setting me up with a router and a NAS, I was eager to give it a go, especially because I have a cache of private recordings bestowed upon me by recording engineer Peter McGrath that I always enjoy playing.”
ELAC Discovery Q Music Server
January 27, 2017 Comments Off on ELAC Discovery Q Music Server
“I was quite excited to see the original ELAC Discovery prototype exhibited last year at CES, and AudioStream’s Michael Lavorgna favorably reviewed the production model late last year. The original Discovery includes Roon Essentials in the purchase price, which though having a cap of 30,000 tracks, gets you most of the way to a decent collection and streaming experience for a very reasonable $1,099.”

ELAC Discovery Series DS-S101-G Music Server $1099 Review
December 14, 2016 Comments Off on ELAC Discovery Series DS-S101-G Music Server $1099 Review
“For a more level playing field I plugged the AudioQuest DragonFly Red into the microRendu and was presented with a more lit up sound as compared to the Discovery’s analog output where music felt more alive and punchy. I’m not talking about night and day differences or even good and bad differences, rather subtle shifts in sound that may or may not matter to you, your system, and your room. All told, I kept thinking—Wow, all of this sounds really good and I’m using the Discovery to make it all work; no server or computer needed.”
