Hello,
Had a Mini. Could not get 192. Qobuz suggested to get a Pro with the Ethernet Connection. Got one. Still low static on a very few tracks @ 192. Will talk to Qobuz. Other than that, the Pro (like the Mini) - a really, truly, brilliant product.
Here is where I need help with it:
Been in this hobby for 50 years. Decided on streaming (Qobuz) as only source. Classical (and some Jazz) main interest.
A year and a half ago (after a couple of system-less years) my experience as a long time hobbyist (and my current material standing) guided me towards a $2k “endgame” system: Mini/Allo Shanti/IFI Neo I DSD/Dynaudio Excite 14 Actives. Cabling came via Ali Express. A month ago I went $200 over budget (10%) for a Pro, IFI LAN Silencer and Cat 6 Cable. Super happy.
The Pro is a Roon End Point. From what I understand I will only need a Core to use Roon via the Pro (just for streaming, no stored files or such).
Help will be appreciated in an attempt to build a DIY Roon Core (possibly equivalent to the $1,500 original) that will enable me to use Roon through my system, for, maybe, another 10% over budget (plus subscription and a decent tablet).
Again, the goal here for one audiophile (until and if the time may come for another “endgame” system ) to enjoy the hobby via streaming … and remain frugal.
Thanks
