  Been digging Tuareg music today (Mdou Moctar, Tinariwen, Ali Farka Toure). Probably because of the heat wave.

    @ilikebananafudge_ I have not gotten around to trying it out, hoping it does the trick though! I had trouble with the porta forwarding configuration when they first rolled out Roon ARC, but then a quick switch fixed it, not sure what changed.

    Yeah. I want to be clear - they sound good, but I think it's a personal preference.

    @Vansen that’s how I felt—just abt the v1 instead. I think rather than a mids suck out, the treble and bass were lifted to balance out the inherent mid centric sound of the driver (?). Sounded neutral & natural to me, perhaps someone else’s light v-shape? In the end, preferences tho, like you and Brencho said! But a 600 that’s extended at both ends, hits hard & w no veil? Sign me up

    Even if you are normally not a radio guy, just listen to an album you are in the mood for and then let Roon take the wheel of playing related music. So much better at that curation/discovery than any other service I have tried. Also mess around with multiroom and how easy it is if you have more than one endpoint.
