| Streamer Recommendation. You can easily rip cds with a $30-$40 drive and any computer. No need to pay a premium by purchasing an audio with a built in drive. | |
| Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player @rbsaudio True, but many have used quality mesh networks with Ethernet ports to drive the Aurender. When you think about the Aurender, regardless of where, or how the music arrives, it is played directly from an internal cache. | |
| Aurender N20 @nmcc0866 I agree that moving to Aurender represents a loss with regard to user experience. Conductor does allow for extensive search functions, but lacks lyrics and more inclusive background information. Per those in the know, function is kept... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? That’s an interesting question. I found that power conditioners and cables provide black noise free background to the music. In doing so, it allows, along with interconnects, your components to be heard. For me, to do this to a high degree require... | |
| DAC vs PC vs Source I hope that you are using Shunyata NR power cables. These cables combined with an Everest 8000 made a dramatic difference for my system. I have Sigma to Everest and Sigma NR to 300 watt/channel integrated. Venom NR to subs, which only cover lowest... | |
| Anthem AVM-70 8K and Apple 4K Start Up Issue My Anthem 70 must be turned on separately from my Sony TV. When I turn off the TV the Anthem switches off. Never thought to try to change this behavior. | |
| Dallas DFW speaker crossover repair gurus that you'd trust @dtximages true but I'm not competent to read those diagrams ha. I would need to get them to the right person which is why I'm looking for the Dallas guru like Danny Richie.. I ju Must you move the speakers, or might just transporting the cr... | |
| Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player Streaming services do not provide DSD Is DSD always superior to PCM? | |
| Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player I use dBPoweramp, a $35 USB CD drive and a MacBook Pro to rip CDs. dBPoweramp makes sure that the rip is bit perfect. My ripped FLAC file automatically is uploaded to my Synology server, but it can be uploaded wherever you want. I keep the NAS as ... | |
| Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player Is your DAC well isolated from USB noise/jitter? | |
| Snake oil of the year? Nope. Snake oil of the century is 6 feet of mains cable costing $5k that does nothing that a 20amp stock cable can’t do. I refuse to pay more than $4K for a power cable. | |
| Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog @lordmelton I am within my 60 days at Music Direct, so will return Delta NR power cable. I’ll look for used Sigma v2 NR cable. | |
| Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog @lordmelton I have the same analog cables from DAC to preamp and phono preamp to preamp, but I have higher quality power cables on all components, but only Audioquest Delta NR on Aurender. | |
| Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog @soix Yes, good plan. but I will first upgrade USB since that is what is working best at this point. @lordmelton Is there an advantage to an external clock when the Aurender already has a quality clock and the May hasn’t any clock input? Is S... | |
| Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog @blisshifi At 100 hours. Agree, too soon. Also, pretty sure USB and AES/EBU cables can be improved upon. Lastly, have Shunyata Sigma and Alpha NR cables on other components, but Delta on Aurender. Shunyata just had a huge price increase on t... |
