Need help with Aurender N20
Please help with a cable recommendation. I added an Aurender N20 that feeds my Holo Audio May DAC. For the most part I'm very pleased with the addition but I feel there is more to be unlocked in the upper frequencies regarding detail and resolution.
I'm running an AES cable to the DAC to take advantage of the superior clock in the streamer. The cable in use is a Clarus Crimson but I'm wondering if there is a better AES cable choice that will be more open and offer more top end detail.
If anyone has experience with different AES cables I'd like to hear your thoughts. The max budget would be $2500. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
I recommend Acrolink AES/EBU Digital Cable. You can borrow Leggenda 7N-DA2090 from Cable Co and audition in your system. I used this cable with N20 and N30. You can spend more but you’re unlikely to find a better cable for the money. https://www.thecableco.com/cables/digital-cables/7n-da2090-leggenda-aes-ebu-digital-cable.html |
+1 for Network Acoustic. Thanks @fastfreight …Muon and Kimber Hybrid USB were my top choices when I had USB base setup. Another brand that makes excellent digital cables is Final Touch Audio. I never had a chance to own their USB or AES. I do own a pair of their Ethernet cables…they are the most organic, emotionally engaging, and finely balanced cables I’ve ever experienced (and I’ve tried many Ethernet cables). |
