Arnaud's system - alphafox - 07-Jul-2015 Hi all, Nothing really fancy here, just a Devialet Ensemble running with Roon: pure moments of joy exploring my music collection. Best regards, Arnaud RE: Arnaud's system - rik - 07-Jul-2015 Very nice - what speaker stands are you using? Not at all envious of the Surface Pro, no, not at all. RE: Arnaud's system - PhilP - 07-Jul-2015 Cool room... RE: Arnaud's system - Confused - 07-Jul-2015 I think a Surface Pro running AIR makes a rather neat set up. How well does this work? Any issues with AIR? Stuttering or dropouts etc.? Although I notice that you also use a Macbook Pro and NAS. Would you mind sharing exactly how you use the Surface Pro in your set up? RE: Arnaud's system - hk6230 - 08-Jul-2015 Welcome, Arnaud. May I ask are you using AIR to stream to your Devialet from your Surface Pro? RE: Arnaud's system - alphafox - 08-Jul-2015 Hi guys, I'm using a headless MacMini for "Core" library management with Roon, the music being stored on a Synology NAS. The Mac is connected to my D120 thru USB and by RJ45 (Ethernet) to the Synology via a gigabit switch. In fact, the Roon/AIR connection on Yosemite was quite disappointing, with lots of cracking/jitter both over Wi-Fi and Ethernet. The Surface Pro 3 (running Windows 10) is running the "Remote" client of Roon over Wi-Fi. Also, I tried AIR on Windows 10 over Wi-Fi (the latest beta driver) as well as the USB and ASIO drivers: all are working perfectly fine. In term of music library management, I use a MacBookPro with XLD and iTunes with its music folder on the NAS. It's a bit slow over Wi-Fi so when importing CDs, I'm connected directly to the switch. Now I finally have a stable system with almost no buzzing from the IT part as the MacMini is fan-less and the Synology is in a cabinet Best regards, Arnaud PS: the stands are the Norstone Kubben ones from the Ensemble bundle. RE: Arnaud's system - hk6230 - 08-Jul-2015 We've about the same setup. I have Mac Mini as Roon Core and a Toshiba WT-8 (Win8.1) as Roon Remote. My NAS is QNAP, also far away in another room. RE: Arnaud's system - rik - 12-Jul-2015 Stands - thanks. :-) "MacMini is fan-less" - I hope not, all Mac Mini's have small VERY quiet fans over the CPU :-) Rik |
