Gritman Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Franz Schubert Piano sonata #20 accompanied a recent gearbox rebuild, along with some Primal Scream, Stones and various early R&B masterpieces😊 Sadly Franz predated YouTube by a while….. the very best upgrade last autumn was extending Roon to the workshop! 1 Link to comment

How did you perform this "extension," might I ask? Link to comment
Gritman Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hi @docc are you familiar with Roon? I used a raspberry pi with a hifiberry DAC onto an old NAD 306 & Bose accoustimass5’s. Brilliant, and most importantly, cheap! 1 Link to comment

Gritman Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 O, and of course used a broadband extender to get a decent connection to the domestic network…. Link to comment

Translation: raspberry pi: a very cheap computer platform with which one who is in the know (i.e. not me...) can construct useful things. hifiberry DAC: a sound card for the aforementioned computer platform. NAD 306: a relatively good, if a little old, hi-fi amplifier Bose Acoustimass: a loudspeaker system from Bose. Works well enough for "sound in the air", but not what I would choose for analytic listening. In "professional circles" I once heard the line "no highs, no lows, must be Bose", but I try not to be predjudiced. 2 hours ago, Gritman said: Franz Schubert Piano sonata #20...
