DH Labs.

Just wanted to say I picked up a pair of Air Matrix Cryo RCA terminated cables and they are awesome.   Really high quality for the money. DH Labs are my go to guys from now on when I need cable products.  The value is high .   They replaced some Nordost Blue Heaven and they are much better 

I am loving the N200,  sound quality is much better with it as the source into my DAC.    I am using a LAB 12 DAC via coax and it sounds excellent.   I think it actually sounds better through Coax vs. USB.    I am going to try it with my RME DAC also and try some DSD material.   

The Aurender is actually my transport in a sense.   I rarely play physical media so this I think was crucial to great sound.   I traded a component that had a lot of trade in value toward it so it was only $850 out of pocket .   I'm glad I chose this unit, I will always use an outboard DAC .    I almost went with the A200 but aside from the DAC the N200 has more features .  Now if I do upgrade my DAC it will have a great digital source in front of it.  

The Lab 12 sounds great but it's inputs are buggy.  It can not cope with two active 24/88.2  legacy inputs at the same time.  It cuts out and has trouble selecting the correct input.   You have to turn the idle source off.  Its super annoying , so even though the DAC sounds great , I don't see myself owning it too much longer.  It's a shame , it sounds great.  

Build quality of the Aurender is really high end.  It is beautifully made , everything about it feels quality.    Truly a worthwhile upgrade in my system.   It can play all the files ripped in my Vault 2i , it can play or copy any files on NAS .   Its awesome 

They are 20% off through November.  Great value.  

Just picked up the Mirage USB cable.   Excellent cable for the money,  I see no need to spend more.
