Thank you for enabling comments! Effectively you have created a modern equivalent of a Jukebox. I was planning to do something similar (on a smaller scale) - been trying to find a decent smallish monitor

Just getting into streaming with a Cambridge CX system and I’ve pressed an old iPad Air into service as a controller/viewer Gradually removing all other distractions from it so audio will be all it does eventually. I like the rabbit hole experience of Quobus and can see me getting into Roon shortly, thinking of building a Roon core. Thanks for the inspiration! 🙏🏻

Hi mate, you have confirmed my thoughts on what I desire for my streaming set up, so many times my phone acts as a distraction, Facebook etc, so having a dedicated place to select my music is great, be even better with a remote.

This big touch screen does give a HIGH END feel when we're using it, especially when handling multiple zones it's just feels way more better than a smartphone, for me smartphones feels like playing music through a Bluetooth speaker , PERSONALLY 😄

@eddiegil6804 2 жыл бұрын

A wish i have had for years, a physical jukebox for digital media. Never found good software but with the recent discovery of Roon i finally found it. And yess now its time to build this. Thanks for the inspiration. It is exactly what you state, you miss a physical feel on a digital library.

I think this is a fantastic idea... that touchscreen will be added to my setup fe sure.... if you like sharing music with others essentially thos can become a jukebox like fixture in a home

NECRO! lol.. love the video.. one of the issues with a lot of touch screen monitors (even down at the 15-16 inch size) is that they put their ports on the side, so even if you put a NUC on the back on the VESA mounts etc, you still have unsightly cables coming from the side of the monitor.

I run the Roon UI on Ubuntu using Wine. It takes a bit of installing (the right version of Wine, mainly) but then it is mostly fully functional. Which I love because it’s my workstation during the day

@colinmaynard2879 3 жыл бұрын

Can you have the same stream going to multiple zones at the same time? I found Roon disappointing for searching classical recordings. Is there an alternative search engine for streaming services?

So if I got it straight, whichever touchscreen monitor I use with my NUC core via hdmi/usb, would work this way? Also could I add a keyboard I I wanted?

Hi Darko, I love your channel and learn a lot from you. I've a new android phone and Ibasso DC03. The Ibasso came with a UAC volume application that is crash a lot. I'm using Spotify and USB audio player pro/ Do I need the UAC application in between the Spotify or the USB player pro? Looking forward to your reply

WOW! How did you get get to choose your device (node) as a pre-specified output device? I have a touchscreen dedicated for my tidal as well. But I have to choose my device (cxn v2) every time I want to start streaming.

I took a trial suscription with TIDAL, with tha MQA Helm audio on my MAC, and the light remains Blue does not seem like wanting to get Magenta? Also I can't connect MQA with the Iphone 11, can't seem to find a proper connector from USB C to lightning. Do you have any suggestions? Hope I'm clear.... Thank you in advance for your answer.

This video made me buy an extra tablet / dock and a Bluetooth keyboard for next to my streamer. 27 inch is a bit much for me since I've already got a 49 inch screen for daily use with my laptop but next to my streamer that Lenovo p11 will look awesome 😎

@derekviveiros Жыл бұрын

What are you currently using for your screen these days? I just closed a deal on an M10 and going back to digital! I want a dedicated screen for my digital experience and not be my phone where everything else is. Thinking about placement, stand, size that works for moving it around with me, or not, .... And it comes with BluOS. How does it compare with Roon now?

*THIS IS A TEST* -- With this video, we are trialling a new way of doing things: the comments section below has been switched ON but will be *moderated by a third party* who is under strict instruction not to approve racist or sexist remarks, URLs, (the seeds of) conspiracy theories or the unsubstantiated ramblings of grumpy geezers. If this test goes well, we will consider activating third-party comment moderation on other videos. The upshot? You have the possibility to leave a comment below the video but I don't get tied up in comment moderation and can stay focussed on making the next video, the next podcast and managing the Darko.Audio website and Patreon. I am not here. I am elsewhere.

Could you make the video on the cheapest way to get into apple lossless. I know you've made one on dac but what about headphones?

@howardskeivys4184 3 жыл бұрын

If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPad Pro, using IOS or IPad OS 14.6 all you need is an external DAC, you can get some good quality DACS for not a lot of money. I I paid less than £300 for my portable DAC which I use with headphones, you can pay a lot less and still get good sonic reproduction. Use wired headphones, wireless will not support lossless! I paid £2700 for my desktop DAC which is plumbed into my main system. You can get very good, high resolution desktop for less than £500! You could initially invest a little more money in your portable DAC and use it for your headphones and main system. In brief, if you already have your Apple phone, tablet or PC with QA minimal investment of around £200 for DAC plus headphones, you’re good to go. The advantage with Apple lossless, which many reviewers refuse to highlight, is that providing your running 14.6 OS or above, you have no need to subscribe to ‘bit perfect’ or similar conversion service which you need for Qobuz Etc. Good luck and enjoy.

Love the the videos to see the possibilities. As a luddite I am always somewhat confused. So many questions. eg, why do you need a Node with the Buchardt? I thought that was the point of the A500 was to not need a Node.

large touch pad can be physically exhausting....hands, shoulders, back continuous movements, i prefer mouse when listening to music since minimal movements executed and less body conscious when absorbing music.

@howardskeivys4184 3 жыл бұрын

I’m not criticising your methodology. In audio reproduction, one size doesn’t suit all. I prefer the more simplistic, minimalistic approach. I have one set of floorstanders augmented by a pair of subs. Driven by a pair of monoblocks. Connected o to my source components via a preamp and stand alone DAC. Source equipment includes a turntable, cd transport and network player. Streaming is done by a 13 inch smart-tab plumbed directly into the DAC. The remote control for the DAC takes over remote operation of the smart-tab!

Today i am so happy with finally realising this option at home. I decided to go with a 22 inch touchscreen. Now i finally have that tactile feeling again with my digital content. In a few days the surface dial arrives as well and then i can finalize the Roondial option as well. Again many thanks for this video @Darko Audio

And to finish it off... it is now connected via a still simple SMSL DAC to a Accuphase amplifier running KEFs Reference model 2. Great sound!

....I don't understand why gapless is so important ??

@SandsOfArrakis 3 жыл бұрын

To me gapless would be important if I'm listening to a concert album. So you don't hear gaps between the audience clapping etc inbetween tracks.

@JaccoSW 2 жыл бұрын

Concert albums are one and certain albums are designed to flow into eachother (often a thing in Ambient music or certain electronic albums). A gap really disturbs the flow in those cases.

My vote goes to the 12.9inch iPad Pro.... Having a large 27inch touch screen although cool looking, is not intuitive or convenient IMO. Messing around with windows is not a great user experience.

@eugeniorenzi7790 Жыл бұрын

I like yours videos very much. But a topic that never pops up is electricity... Pity. Those servers are always on. Same for the rest of the gears. So having everything ready all the time, connected all the time is incredibly costly in terms of power and carbon footprint. It's not a sustainable model.
