Re: MQN

well 5 years later and I thought all noise would have been removed and digital music would all be perfect by now, but seems the same challenges persist and there seems to be more people willing to experiment as everything matters eg use of FMC on ethernet etc The forum seems quiet, hope you're all ok.

Re: Soekris Dam Dac

the problem with following rb2013 is that he uses foobar2000 as the source so it's compromised from the start and he's just trying to rebuild what foobar2000 has damaged.
