  1. I am using the "audio station" within the Synology package center of the NAS. Early on I toyed with Plex as a player but was annoyed by it trying to alter tags and art that I have intentionally created. iTunes was similar. I should probably look into it a bit. Question in my mind is there a difference in the resulting quality of the file played or is the player just the vehicle?
  2. While I do not claim to understand all of this as I might like, my belief is during a firmware update of the Synology (OS 6 > OS 7) we lost the USB functionality that was. I am no longer able to wirelessly use the NAS "Audio station" while on my home network and must use wire from Dell windows laptop into Schiit, as opposed to the previous configuration of NAS output into Schiit. I hope that makes sense. Using Windows laptop due to the need for a USB output from source. An old Dell is temporarily plugged in all the time for convenience of not plugging/unplugging connection when using. Biggest take away is the dramatic difference from Uber to Bifrost. Warmer, richer, more analog sounding!
  3. Hi folks. Recently I have been fussing with my system and had run into a situation that may be of interest here. Hoping it is not against protocol to post a link to another site discussion, if so please advise and I can disable. AK Schiit discuussion. Bottom line is I used an Uber Modi 2 for years and networked using USB with fine results. Schiit has recently disabled the USB port and must be direct from source now. The Bifrost I recently added is far superior to the Modi, and has single handed triggered me to spend more time critical listening.
  4. Kent, you are correct. on all counts for some reason I associate Dire Straits with OZ, sorry for the confusion. I can't always explain what is in my head, remember it is stupidhead
  5. the main reason is as you say "it would sound great on the 2-ax's" and the fact that powerglide is from OZ is "the connection". Telegraph Road is the first song on possibly the best 20 minutes of vinyl for critical listening imho.
  6. Telegraph Road would be a great "christening" powerglide
  7. looneytune2001 on ebay has had the correct foams in the past but it has been a while since I have looked filled filet for boston acoustic 10"
  8. can't say enough about agreeing with all the above, and more. one of those genuine people that is so rare anymore.
  9. I have used Aleenes with good result. Funny Kent, I thought the same about the grill cloth. Have fun Sara, be sure to get the correct foams for these.
  10. good looking box David. I have my eyes out for a set of these. look forward to hearing your listening impressions.
