Advice on the best DAC to match with an Aurender N100


I've got an Aurender N100C with a Schiit Audio Gumby.  I just downloaded the latest Aurender software and the slight graininess I had has gotten more pronounced.  I'm thinking the Aurender and Gumby don't play well together. Any insights on good matches between the Aurender and another DAC?

Hi pg62,

I have a N100H and have been happy with the sound when paired with an Exogal Comet Plus and a Denafrips Terminator, both via USB. 

I also have found it sensitive to power cords.

I am not surprised that the stock power cord yielded no benefit. The folks at Aurender are not open to aftermarket cables and cords. The Verastarr Gold Statement power cord eliminates the last vestiges of hashiness and grain with my N100H FWIW. Call Mike Powell @ Verastarr if interested.
