I'd like to suggest Patrica Barber. Some of her albums are available as 45s, some only as downloads off her website, and most on vinyl and CD. Talented and inventive. Her covers can make you think she spent more time developing them than the original artist, and her original stuff is well......origi...

Anthony are you using jRiver when listening since I was there? I have not been doing any comparisons at home without jRiver conversion. So everyone keep that in mind when I post comments. I think we still have some way to go and hope that Linn are working on something we all will like. Clearly the f...

SaltyDog's and Anthony's system seem to respond in a similar manor. This is different (very different) from Evo's system. No conclusions from me at this time, still in search of improvements as it seems they could come from anywhere. Evo's room plays better. His has concrete floors. My room and I be...

I was just over at Anthony's last night. We were able to use my jRiver to pull off his laptop with either Twonky or Asset. Twonky IIRC. The albums became available faster than I was expecting. We had all PCs wired. No problems were encountered other than I couldn't figure out how to play anything fr...

All my files are on QNap. It is a mapped network drive on the main PC. jRiver is directed to go there. However, on the boat I use a tiny PC with all the music on an external HDD USB 3.0. This sometimes falls asleep. I am not up to speed with unicode Flac. I just use dBPoweramp default FLAC rips for ...

I was over at Evo from the Linn Forum's place the other night. He has very well setup 320/D and a pair of Linn Subs. KDS-KK latest spec. I have KDS-KK- ATC Active 50 Towers latest spec in the US using 230V. Your description of 4.1.10 sounds like what I experience at home. Evo's system was superb wit...

ThomasOK positioned my speakers using 4.7.2. This is what sounds best to me. I never get the feeling that they should be tweaked. Some other firmware sounds better in the first 3 seconds. They end up being out of time and fatiguing in short order. I am willing to reflash to try out other firmware, b...

Not that I'm making any recommendations. I had a certified electrician install a dedicated 220V circuit that includes a totally different kind of plug that twists to lock. I then used an adapter that converts back to a normal 110V US type outlet that I plug a power strip into. This way all the leads...

I've gone back to 4.7.2. While the others have a certain appeal, I keep finding I get more of a sense of the whole song with 4.7.2. Nothing impressive, nothing missing, nothing exaggerated, just the song and that's it. Somehow I think that if I can understand the score then I am hearing what was int...

A Big Bold statement from your buddy SaltyDog. I am very pleased with 4.9.3 - jRiver - Catwalk Null Output! Listening to Bread - Anthology album and the music is just so stunning! Crescendos are so much more an obvious a part of these songs. I have to say this is the most musical system I've ever h...

jRiver is on an always on PC that is pointed to the musiic files on the NAS. I THINK but do not know for sure, that jRiver is sending the music files to the DS in 24-bit 44.1 WAV. I know the front panel of the KDS shows 24/44.1. Kinsky showed for only last night for some reason that the stream was 2...

Nothing in the NAS setup has ever been looked into as far as comparing cabeles, directions and what not. The basement where it all resides is out of sight and out of mind. I have a QNap 409 Tubo Pro. 1TB x 3. 2 are Seagate Barracuda Enterprise grade. The other is a "standard Seagate" There is a swit...

There is much to learn as far as all this goes. One of the things I know is that getting the 16/44.1 fed to the DS in 24/44.1 is the way forward. Another thing I know is that I am not the one to explain why the things that work work or how they work. I just got clued into that the Catwalk Pugin will...

I've gone back to 4.7.2 after getting a copy from Axel. Turns out this is what was on my KDS prior to moving to 4.9.2. I inadvertently posted I was happiest with 4.7.5 and jRiver. It was 4.7.2 that is so good. Sorry if I misled anyone. ML you should give this a try. It is for me much more satisfying...
