    Sorry Adrian no vinyl costs enough as it is. Find it amazing that i can have so much music with roon/tidal all for the sake of £10 a month (student discount) that i would never buy on vinyl if i could get it on vinyl in first place. Especially in these days of self isolation or in my terms lambing love the fact i can settle down on sofa with a book and let the music play me random artists ive not heard before.
    As for the Sooloos designed by the guys behind roon i believe and shows in its design, it also rips cds very well. Has the equivalent to roon radio in swim which swims your collection for similar. Has integration with tidal and just sounds so much better than computer via usb into dac, but and there is always a but it has limited storage of 500gb so not that much room to fill.I do like the interface on it though.

    Lovely system, but you need to tackle the cabling Pete

    o/p was clearly having a laugh when he said humble! I was expecting some cheap nothing of a PC system

    As for calling it a humble system it plays very humbly and just couldn't think of a better thread title
