• After a pretty solid day and a half I’ve got 120CDs ripped. Jesus this is going to be a long old do. I’ve exhausted my Roon trial so I’ve had a go at Audirvana. Seems alright. Rips definitely sound a bit more sparkling and dynamic vs Tidal streams as I can play them back to back on this. Best thing is being reminded of a heap of albums I’d forgotten about.

    Do you have a willing volunteer and the werewithal to setup a double-blind, randomised, large sample sized trial to test this assertion?

    Could be interesting!

  • No idea how you are managing 120 a day. Are you ripping securely with dbpoweramp. I'm trying to rip a Mozart box set with 25 discs in and I've had 3 that won't rip securely which slows the process massively.

    I guess you don't miss the extra metadata stuff that Roon does. I used to run Amarra as an iTunes plugin before Roon came along. I liked the difference it made. Sometimes it's enough that the software communicates more directly with the sound card and misses out the os mixer.
