David Neel is using & prefers Asset The comparison was quite a few years ago, in the early days of LSNAS, and this thread has inspired me to try minimserver again.

Re: Recommended network components
The first time I heard RTFM, I asked what it meant. I was told: "please read the manual...." I was puzzled for a few seconds.

Re: Hermanns System
I agree that this is a difficult comparison. I was originally (very) marginally drawn towards C-2, but not at all sure. Then I listened again was quite sure - that I couldn't decide. So I've given it 24 hours and tried again. This time it's C-1. It doesn't seem to do the hifi quite as well, but I'm ...

It was a very long time ago since I compared powering the router and the switch from the same power strip. I have forgotten if there's an advantage to it. Does anyone want to share their experience with this? I'm using a Huawei/EE 4G (sim card) router. I had the GS108T psu plugged directly into the...

Re: Hermanns System
When I listened to Källa, my network was seriously unoptimised. It still beat my LP12 and a KDS/2. And I wanted one on musical grounds, which was not my reaction when I heard Organik DSM. It's just a bonus that I've now optimised my network before it arrives. OK, but following the discussion here I...

Nonsense. I have a different setup than the recommended at my lab and it sounds better than any streamer I've heard there. When I listened to Källa, my network was seriously unoptimised.

No, it hasn't got the capability. Using Spotify client controlled from the ipad, and Kazoo to play from the LSNAS.

Re: Recommended control points
I'm cycling the battery rather than leaving it plugged in, because the nearest power socket isn't very close. Currently in use with Hakai. I have an android tablet for other uses.

Re: Lejonklou and Harbeth?
I would suggest that a Lejonklou preamplifier (including the Boazu section) is always going to be more musical than a DVC. And that Källa will be more musical than any Linn streamer - strong words I know, but I have heard DSM Organik and preferred the LP12 (with Radikal/1), whereas my own very simil...

I don't have access to my Hakai at the moment - is it possible that you have a settings file on your Hakai - Spotify client that defaults to Autoplay on and overrides your control point? Thanks!

Re: Analogue man tries to master Spotify
Looked at the Spotify forums again, and this seems to be a long-standing complaint. For me. it's no longer close to being a deal-breaker, it is one.David Neel wrote: ↑2021-11-27 19:51 This is close to a deal-breaker for me, regardless of how good it sounds.

Re: Analogue man tries to master Spotify
If Autoplay is off, it may be how you are selecting the album - it should work if you select the album only, making sure it's not part of a wider set of search results. Album only should stop after the last track; if the album was somehow part of a wider result set, Spotify will keep on playing thr...

Re: Analogue man tries to master Spotify
Thank you. I've done this, and got repeat deselected. At the end of an album, Spotify then immediately plays something else which I have not selected.

Analogue man tries to master Spotify
One of the reasons I gave up streaming after a brief trial of Tidal some years ago is that I like to listen to albums rather than tracks. All my digital listening so far has been to CD or CD ripped to LSNAS, where I can select an album to play, and rely on it playing in the correct sequence, followe...

Re: Recommended network components
.. powering the switch from the first outlet of a separate power strip (the "digital strip") is better than plugging the switch directly into the wall. Looking at it from angle of the mains power, there should preferably be a certain distance between the HiFi and the network switch. Thanks for all ...
