@kirkwallace thanks for the heads up. How did the N200 play with your Aero? Also, looking forward on hearing your thoughts on your new combo.
USB cable recommendations
I recently purchased the Bricasti M3 for my system & am looking to upgrade my A-B USB cable. I currently have 2 USB cables that I used with my prior DAC (Qutest), a Cardas Clear that I preferred with my Qutest & an XLO ultra plus that I far prefer with my M3. It is OCC copper & actually sounds very good, but wondering if I can do better.
My target price is around $500 used, certainly willing to do less & willing to do more for the ’right’ cable. I am looking for a cable that is absolutely neutral.
I actually tried to buy an AQ diamond used yesterday, but was 2 hours late. Not sure if it was the right choice, but it was a great price & could resell if not right.
My virtual system is available, but my digital side is: Aurender N150 > XLO ultra+ > Bricasti M3 > Zavfino Arcadia > PSAudio BHK w/tele medical NOS tubes > Zavfino Fusion mk2 > SimAudio Moon 330A > Transparent + gen 5 > KEF Reference 3’s.
Please let me know your thoughts and/or recommendations. Thanks!

@danmar123 it was great. I only upgraded because of a good multi-component trade opportunity. I think, but wouldn't swear on it under oath, that the N20 creates a slightly quieter background, but the effect is not dramatic. The sound quality of the N200/aero pair was entirely natural, dynamic and captivating. I doubt you’d be disappointed. |
@kirkwallace didn’t realize Aero doesn’t have AES, but with the coax connection you’re good - same clock priority. |
