So I bought a pair of Edifier S1000W Wireless Speakers for our rec room, which we call, “The Lodge Room” for obvious reasons as seen below They use the wireless network and connect through Roon using airplay2. Pretty easy setup. Plugged the speaker in and connected the other pair, turned them on, downloaded the Edifier Home app to my ipad, connected the speakers to my network using the app, opened Roon, renamed the speakers, set them as the audio output zone and we now have music in the lodge room. Not exactly audiophile quality, but for their purpose, background music for gatherings and while I am puttering around downstairs, they work pretty well. A question: How do I rename this topic to just “Roon”? Edit: Dan, thank you for an excellent renaming.

Holy necro-bump Batman!! 🫣 I just got the new Mini Shangri-La - aka. Jade 3.0 (as the last one didn't sell) so instead of making a new thread or filling up the Stax thread, this kinda belongs here. I don't know how Hifiman does it but these manage to feel even cheaper than the Jade 2... this "new" headband works just fine but premium it sure as shit isn't. Same trash cable as on the rest of the lineup, why they continue to use this I can't even fathom. As for the sound... "mehhh" comes to mind quite a bit over the last 4 hours I've used them. They like to be played pretty loud but nothing really stands out, they are inoffensive, rather bland sounding. I'll play around with them some more but the highlight is they are reasonably comfy and they fit large heads.

I have it still and I know I should be on Roon but I'm very lazy and don't spend too much time listening to music. 🫤

Decided to bike to vacation.

Speaking of which

if you still have the Brooklyn Bridge you can use it with a Roon core..if a device isn't Roon certified, you can still use it if it supports AirPlay, Chromecast, or USB (by plugging it into a computer or a WiFi/LAN to USB adapter aka 'Roon end point'). Computers don't need to be Roon certified and this includes this like NUCs get on Roon now!

Ask @n_maher or @grawk to rename it.

That, Nate, is impressive. Average speed of nearly 18mph on a hilly course with power a hair under 200W - even when I was a few decades younger and regularly weekend cycling I couldn't have got close to that.

I blame Brent.

My first "serious" test for the next cycle here in Gran Canaria. It is practically the same route as the race. Thought and mood are something very curious... while I was climbing, although I was having fun with the beautiful day (we reached almost 40º C) I had the sensation of going slower than usual and when I returned home I was quite tired. I thought it was the treatment's fault but nevertheless, when I saw the data this afternoon I saw that not only climb faster but I also set significantly better times. Sea of clouds in the north of the island In Tejeda it´s the Parador (something like a Hotel) Top climb Jose needed breakfast today....
