I know Windoze and Apple has high-end music players but do we have something similar? I’d like to play uncompressed music. Thanks,

Local, but streaming might be a good thing to know as well. Tx

Thanks, I heard much about Sayonara. I’ll give it a spin. Audirvana was nice.

Well one alternative to Audirvana could be Roon , which is available in the AUR, though it does have some pricing options, so it’s not free per se: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/roonserver I don’t know how you feel about music streaming services, but Spotify and/or Apple Music are decent enough…

Good to know. I didn’t know. I have a to of things here and some half-mastered albums I’d like to play again. If I can find some good cartridges for turntables that won’t break the bank.

Thanks, I know. You’re right. I worked decades in communication and can’t stand marketing. I have a decent turntable but any cartridge I buy is about $100. My preamp, amp, and speakers are perfect for what I have and need. Of course, if I won the lottery, there are half a million systems I would lov…

I run strawberry as well ever since Clementine started to go wonky on me. It’s good. When I add the system equalizer on top of it, the sound quality goes down. Strawberry’s equalizer isn’t good enough. Maybe there is an extension I don’t know about. I’ll look into it.
