Nine months in the making, Roon 1.3 goes live today with major upgrades, and additions under the hood of the digital audio player, and represents a milestone for what many (including myself) consider the most capable, […]
by Brian Hunter of Audio-Head Even though 2-channel rooms at CES appeared slightly diluted to a few floors in the Venetian, the giant machine that is audio in general roared on in typical fashion across the […]
This year, I decided to do the accelerated CES 2017 tour. With some loss of good judgement, I created a flight plan in and out of Vegas from Seattle in a single day with just enough time to […]
