I hope Accuphase add MQA and DSD support on the DAC side...plus subwoofer voicing. I am not sure how else they could improve on the DG-58. I am curious myself!

I am not sure how else they could improve on the DG-58. I am curious myself! I am using DC-950. Done my rabbit holes journey until I found Accuphase sources and extremely happy with it since. Have never looked back or feel the itch to pursuit further upgrade. If I am ever to upgrade my DAC, the MSB Select 2 with dual power-base is what I have my eyes set on when funding becomes feasible. I use Roon and it is fantastic...., again on this interface I have also never look back..... Until date, I failed to find there is better digital files management close to Roon. Currently, I am looking forward to my Accuphase C-3900 in early August. Going to be interesting..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugleBoy Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I use itunes as file/playlist manager only...the processing is done thorough pure music in Integer & Hog mode...using Barkeley/Audiophilleo USB/SPDIF converter. I then use the Remote app on iphone (synced to my imac) as a remote control...for ease of playing music from my listening position. This set up gives me a lot of flexibility to chase the sound I am after. I have wondered how Roon, Aurender, Antipodes etc could give me a better alternatives to the above...given they are closed systems hence limited flexibility. Would like to get a 101 on this if I am missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the Roon a while back in LA through some Vandersteen speakers, it was in conjunction with a device that I think was by Musical Fidelity, that was only $500 to $1000. Not sure exactly what it did but the guy went on about resolution. Do you know what i am talking about? Also did you do the comparison talked about Itunes, Pure Music vs Roon.

In term of resolutions and clarity..., Roon is, from my very own experiment, falling behind HQ-Player. Hence, my CA setup is dual PC. ControlPC is Roon core and AudioPC is HQPlayer. ControlPC interface to AudioPC via Ethernet Cat7 cable Only. AudioPC is connect to DAC via USB. Both Roon and HQ-Player has flexibility with room correction via convolution. Had tried from Most if not all players from Windows/Mac to Linux as OS... Now settle this combo as best compromised digital medium. hope it helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about Roon and HQP, although i think the difference is stemming from advances in HQP - particularly EC modulators and very long filters. The other advantage is you can use apodizing filters for poor source quality material and partially "correct" it. While using 1 million tap filters for high quality source material. Then you can "tune" it with convolution for flat, down-sloping, bass boost etc. Remember when people/us used to change dacs and other components to do all this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
