@rick_n Will do! The new cable shipped already and should arrive mid week. But of course listening impressions will take some time to develop.
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.

@rick_n Updating you on the Veritas Nexum A which arrived yesterday. Initial impressions are extremely positive. This thing is built like it should have had a four figure price tag instead of the $299 I actually paid. First listen also highly impressive so far. This is all straight out of the box so things will likely get even better with burn in. I will update when I have more to say about it. |
I have found with the N20 that you really need a good AES and USB cable if you are going to take advantage of DSD. I have read that the May has a great DSD section. The N20 is a fantastic machine and I've found or rather heard no degradation in SQ by using the USB but saying that some PCM recordings sound better with AES. The biggest difference however is getting an external 10Mhz master clock for the N20. This really does make a huge difference. |
