    Installed Daphile last night

    It's the scroll bar that hides until you mouse over a list. For example, Qobuz shows 200 items below, but there is no evidence of a scroll bar until a mouse is present in the area with listed items, and it was difficult just to capture this screenshot, but that tiny portion of a scroll bar will...

    So true. Know what I really would like to change but don't think possible? It's that tiny scroll bar to the right; perhaps not literally but it looks about 3 pixels wide and only widens to perhaps 7 IF you have the patience and steadiness to select it. It disappears completely if the artist...

    Realistic CD-1000 CD Player

    Loved my CD1000. That dot matrix display and ability to program with the 0-9 buttons while playing. Good memories, hope you get yours running.

    Installed Daphile last night

    Good question. I've had only a few hours experience between creation of the boot-able USB drive from a download and this latest revelation. With that I'd say it's simple to configure, much easier actually than the PiCore installation. Most importantly I'll now be able to rip all the grab bag...

    Installed Daphile last night

    Just had a very happy moment. Not only was it a piece of cake to configure CIFS connectivity to the NAS to play my current content, but I also located the drop-down menu in the lower right hand corner allowing selection of available players. I have been using the Material skin plug-in with...

    Installed Daphile last night

    It's cool when at the application layer LMS can index and present titles based on metadata. I also use My Music and Artist to browse available "albums". It is with the physical file structure I prefer a flat directory where total number of albums under an artist are clearly visible. Just my...

    Installed Daphile last night

    Appreciate the comments. I don't currently use a media manager, for now I only want to add newly ripped FLAC encoded files for LMS playback. Vortexbox had an option to create parallel file structures with mp3 format files and so that was readily accomplished. Any eventual media manager would...

    Installed Daphile last night

    Had to cobble together a couple of USB adapters with a M-F extension to connect the Modius DAC. I left the DigiOne connected to the coax input since either can be selected as a source from the front panel and I wouldn't have another use for it otherwise. Works fine. The ripper is configured to...

    Installed Daphile last night

    I put a fresh CR2032 battery and a 500 GB drive in an old Dell PC. I then installed the latest version of Daphile and am checking it out today. I'm a long time Squeezebox user and have been running PiCore player to serve tunes to clients in the house. Ten or more years ago I used Vortexbox, a...

    Best looking cassette deck?

    Hmmmm. From a cleanliness and "beauty" perspective I'm kinda digging the first post, that picture of the CT-F500.

    What SACD player do you use?

    SACDMods.com DVP-NS755V with Matthew Anker clock and 5.1 output update. Not much to look at but redbook sounds great too. Retired the Elite DV-59AVi. Used it as a transport for a while for regular CD's when the analog output died.

    Any benefit to adding an equalizer to cassette playback?

    Good looking setup, glad it's working out for you. The advice given by @dankik echoes what I would have stated. I've recorded hundreds of cassettes over the years on various decks including mono portable recorders. For optimum sound quality I have had decks where a jewel screwdriver could be...
