Best Solution To Combine The Best Programs For Use On Mac Mini

When I saw this article's title I, wrongfully, assumed that its subject would address running a small, efficient dual PC setup with Roon on one and HQP in NAA mode on the other. May that be forthcoming?

I'm currently doing something like that with the smaller Sonictransporter running Roon core, HQP on a laptop into the microRendu and Lampizator DAC. Sonics are the best digital I've ever had or, possibly, heard. At this point I am very interested in getting my laptop back which means another small computer. Curious about the benefits of running Roon and HQP on separate machines. I'm not into any heavy duty upsampling with all PCM going to 24/192 and DSD a straight pass-through.

That's what sounds best to me and what the Lampi (dual mono DSD 128 boards) seems to like best too. My system is so 1 1/2 years ago. Laptop running JRiver v.

21 with two 4 TB hard drives attached via usb ports to said laptop. Running Fidelizer on Laptop. I have to admit that I haven't kept up entirely on the newest stuff and I prefer to keep things simple.

Can you explain the bits and pieces as to what they do. I get the feeling the microrendu is necessary for a Lan based system? And the Roon is somewhat analagous to JRiver but with better interface and metadata etc? Can one take the st you review positively and use this as an audio optimized substitute for a laptop? But that means you need a separate monitor, or do you run the whole thing off a tablet? I've been running my main audio system from a custom-built smallish PC for quite awhile now.

It's a core i7 processor, 16gb of memory, an SSD main drive and two pairs of drives, each pair set up RAID1, for music, with a NAS for backup. (Because I have an Exasound e22, I need to have either a Windows or Mac PC, or the very expensive player that Exasound now makes.) I've got quite a long run from the PC to the audio rack, but since going to fiber optic USB, that's not been an issue, and frankly it sounds better with the fiber optic USB than it did when did a test, I placed the computer near the audio rack (4 feet away) with a fancy USB cable to do a sound quality comparison. Fiber rocked it. Still, I kept thinking, having the renderer be right there close must have some advantages. So I built a NUC - i5, 8gb, SSD.

Single purpose - only serving up music that it sucks from an ethernet connection through a.5 meter high end USB cable. (The other PC is used for ripping CDs, downloading new music, and for guests who need internet access.) Compared to the general purpose PC, it sounded awful. Flat, flatter than flat, maybe even inverted, compared to the PC/fiber optic setup. I think that the NUC has too much stuff crammed into too small a space, because I tried the NUC through the fiber optic (30 feet of fiber to cover 12 inches of distance. Sheesh.) and it still didn't sound as good as the music server system I've been using. I think the NUC has way too much stuff crammed into way too small of a space, everything marinating in the fields of everything else. It's just fine for serving up video and multi-channel audio, maybe the HDMI connection is inherently cleaner than the USB path?

If you want to import data into Excel for Mac from a database (for example, from FileMaker Pro), you need an Open Excel for Mac 2011. This version of Excel does not provide an ODBC driver. You must install it yourself. Free odbc driver for mac excel 2011 download.
