Topping D70 DAC - Official Thread

[Tchoupitoulas]

I’m glad my suggestion solved your problem!

Roon is a popular music player, and not just among those using Macs or Apple devices. You can pay for it by monthly subscription or by purchasing a lifetime license. (I shall refrain from commenting on the value of the lifetime license as I’ve not used Roon myself). You can also see what it’s like with a free trial.

There are many advantages to using Roon. It can be used quite simply, with it just installed on your Mac, with the Mac then connected to your D70 DAC, and your amp and headphones. But it can also connect to other devices, including network storage devices and streamers, and it has integration with music services like Tidal and Qobuz. See here:

Roon or Audirvana and why

I wanted to reach out to the headphone.com community and ask for your help. I was wondering what everyone thought of each: Roon and Audirvana? Which one would ‘you’ recommend for a 2018 MacBook Pro and why? I currently have both Tidal and Qobuz, both using their own desktop/app on my MacBook Pro. Not sure if this would make a difference or not but I have an iFi iUSB 3.0 in the chain. Thank You for the help as it is appreciated! Another pice of information that is probably important. I do n…
