DAC 2 vs MCD12000? Favorite USB-connected streamer (For Roon) for use with either?
Hey all,
I'm considering a C53 and maybe a MCD12000, and I'm curious to hear folks experience with both. Purely as a DAC, how do you perceive the performance difference between the two? How do you think they compare to other companies offerings? I'm also a heavy Roon user, and plan to use the USB in on either for the main Roon connection and was wondering what everyone's favorite endpoint is to use with them and what your experience has been like. I've got a collection of the usual high-res and CD quality PCM and also a pile of DSD ripped from my SACD collection. I also think the ability to choose between solid state and tube outputs could be a nice option to have. Thanks! |
I don't think anyone on the forum has a MCD 1200 yet.

I can only comment on endpoints. Been very happy with Raspberry PI running Ropieee. Very stable and is always identified by the DA1 unit. Never a disconnect.

I'm running a ropiee right now too, and it's pretty nice. I've got the RPI screen attached and it makes a great now playing display.
I don't really need anything other than Roon, but it would be nice to have a device that can do some other things. -D |

Whatever it is you need to call McIntosh and your streamer supplier and let them sort it out. It’s just unacceptable whatever gear is causing the issue. |
It's a Roon thing that Mcintosh and Roon still haven't worked out. My Aurender N10 streamer is hooked up via USB to my D1100 and it's fantastic. About 5 years ago on Computer Audiophile the Roon Rep posted he knew the D1100 had problems with USB and Roon and they were working on it. JRiver works fine, Conductor works fine. This issue needs to be resolved. Why is it only Roon?

Providing my experience to the OP since he shows interest in using Roon via USB with the new MCD. |
