Cables for Aurender N150
I’ve had my Aurender N150 for 6 months and have been using an AudioQuest Carbon USB cable and a Shunyata Taipan power cable that I had available. I’ve really enjoyed the N150. Have Aurender owners found benefit in going farther upscale for USB and power cables?
For the non-Aurender people out there, the N150 is the current bottom of Aurender models . I’ve had excellent success when upgrading other components’ cables but you can hit that point where you don’t need Ferrari tires on a Honda.
@lalitk thank! I’ve been drooling over that NA Eno package from another thread re network filters. I think that “package” comes with a 1.5m cable. I currently have an Alan Maher Ethernet cable feeding the N150 now. It appears to have a device 6hat looks similar to those on the Shunyata Ethernet cables. ‘Now, back to USB and power…… |
@oddiofyl you are correct! Bad choice of words by me, I should have said “entry level device”. It is an excellent component! I recently discovered the new Conductor V4. It is nice! |
Thank you everyone! I’ve gotten several ideas and am still researching. I’ve been streaming for over 10 years but until a couple years ago it was all improving the computer doing the streaming, not a dedicated streamer or better cables. So I’m still learning regarding how much each incremental cable upgrade can improve my sound. I’ve been pleasantly surprised! @vonhelmholtz My primary digital system is currently the Aurender N150>AQ Carbon USB>Chord Hugo M-Scaler>dual Nordost Silver Shadow BNC>Chord Qutest DAC>Cardas Golden Reference IC>Cary SLI-80HS with all possible upgrades>shotgunned Nordost SuperFlatline II cables>Meadowlark Osprey speakers. All components fed by Shunyata power cables fed from Denali v2 conditioner fed from Alpha XC cable fed from a dedicated home run 20 amp circuit with a FIM Gold outlet. I cannot easily upgrade the speaker cables because it’s a long LR run under a rug on hardwood floor. I was a longtime diehard vinyl enthusiast until streaming sources significantly improved. |
