Choosing the right gear is like:

now time to choose one???

which one gonna bring me to the Nirvana of sound!

For the new generation, who is watching music! rather than listening!

Saw on Etsy…! :frowning:

they really don’t need our support for the decision! :wink:

With all the new technology and the AI life became very simplier:

I want to listen an album, Open my computer, Do the update, Start the program, Fix the bug, Choose the output of the Sound card

Check the Dac Source

Open the cell phone, Battery down find a cable cable is broke find another cable from the bundle unbundle the cable

Choose my streaming quality

Decide to use the online streamer

Search for an album

Push play push stop it’s random

Push play listen the album choose other album that will follow up

sit and listen to music

AI change album for similar music

Reopen the cell, Find the album, Choose a version, Not that one is loudness, Not that one is a remix, Not that one it’s rerecorded, Not that one it’s mono, Not that one is stereo for Headphone, The original version Push play

Oops AI messed up, Repeat choosing the right version

use Siri, To tell AI to find the right version, Dictation is messed up

Close the Hi-Fi and go gardening, yup More simple


Back in the days 40 years ago

Open the Hi-Fi, Let’s warm the tub for half an hour, Pick an album on the shelf, Put it on the turntable, Put a new chrome cassette in the tape deck, Recorded for the car

Sit and listen in the album

Yep now it’s much easier!

I dont recognize your workflow.

when I want to listen its…

  1. Open Roon om iPad
  2. Choose music
  3. Touch play
  4. repeat steps 2 and 3

Likewise.

Pay a 1000$CAD once a year!

got lag on wi-fi

lost in translation

reset nas

install server

kid broke server

power surge

buy a UPS

install a UPS

Buy a second rooter (dedicate it for NAS and music, best firewall double your rooter)

at each upgrade repeat!

:wink:

Btw, you miss the prequel to go that simple!

Keep ‘em all! I’m sure each brings something special and you have already shared the nostalgic element. If the enjoyment of such a variety wasn’t worth the trouble, there would be a lot more only-children Haha!

my new baby arrived today so maybe it will help me decide, with my stellar Gain pre-amplifier!
