  In my Blue Note collection, there's 130 CD's released in Japan. I never knew they were worth this much!! Did a check on Discogs and wow!

    @atomicbob That’s for sure! They did so many sessions that never saw the light of day until the eighties.

  Selling off a bunch of duplicate DCC 24kt gold CD’s. Never realized how rare some of these have become. Doors, Joni, Dylan ...

    @frenchbat haha! Fair. I bought the WH-1000XM3. Still missing the case, but I bought new original one through local dealer.
    Not sure if it’s a good HP but it seems to cancel noise and I guess that was the purpose of me buying it :)

    @Poleepkwa good question. It could make sense from a connectivity perspective, the ADI-2 has what I need. But at the same time, I think I'm looking for a one box solution with remote...

    ...as in I'm thinking to go back to Linn (where I once was). Linn Klimax DSM + Linn Klimax Exakt speakers are currently on my shortlist to hear (again)

    Try James Brown. There are so many live cuts you can never find all of the recordings. Find the best ones on your favourite medium and stop there. The crate digger curse. I am facing this curse with Prince these days (his non-Pop discography is huge!)...

    @Deep Funk Yeah, I think I've decided to stop at 100 albums or so. I'm at 75 and I believe there's more than 150 out there, at least official releases. Then there's the live cuts and everything that Marshall Allen is now releasing from the vaults. Sigh.

  Sony WF-1000X? @shotgunshane , you weren't too impressed? With iPhone8, I'd like to consider going down the wireless route. Thoughts people?

    Btw: my personal takeaway from listening to the M2 and M2 BT side-by-side was that I'm not willing to spend this much on mediocre sound, and wireless will get you only so far. Probably IEM is the way to go due to the need for much less power. I don't get along with IEMs.

    Super bad fit for me. Frequent disconnections. Random drop outs in right ear. This was my pair of WF1000x in Feb.

    Also, the cost-performance in wireless is super low. If you really, really want wireless, get some CFA IEMs and pair with MUC-M2BT1, and consider it done.

  Managed to get on quite well with Google Drive, but running out of space. What's the NAS one should get? 4TB space enough for now.

    You can use https://rclone.org to sync with Backblaze B2, but that's different to their fixed price all-you-can-eat consumer oriented service, I think.

    @Cspirou send me a ping if you decide to start a thread. I finally decided to use my roon endpoint (which also has the Lynx-card -> AES -> ADI-2 Pro) with NAS disks.
    WD Red disks with mirroring (redundance really..) + a large portable drive for off site backup once per week.

  Is there perhaps someone that would be willing to share a Roon trial code with a fellow SBAF'er? I'm not yet ready to take the full plunge..
