Aurender N30SA can be magnificent in an ultra high resolution system; a hard-fact that owners of self powered, DSP driven speakers cannot simply comprehend.
Streamers and their Fuses
I purchased the Aurender W20SE back in August and ran it on the stock 5 cent generic 2 amp 5mmx20mm slow burn fuse in it’s FURUTECH FI-03 Rhodium plated IEC Inlet. It sounds amazing in stock form the last 3 months… But 3 weeks ago I decided to upgrade the fuse in the W20SE to the Magic Audio Masterpiece M-1. The difference is not subtle. It feels like the potential of the streamer is unlocked, the detail, clarity and richness of tonal transparency is entirely transformed. My goal in HiFi is always holographic imaging of accurate instrument separation, this was improved as well. It is such a startling discovery I cannot listen to my Jay’s Audio MK3-CDT3 CD transport anymore, whereas before the fuse upgrade the CD transport was clearly the higher quality sound reproduction.
Anyone else experienced shocking results from upgrading their streamer’s fuse? I’d love to hear your feedback. All I can say is after burning this Audio Magic m-1 masterpiece in for a week it’s the only fuse I’ll put in my HiFi gear from now on. The purple fuse from Synergistic Research was my previous go to, but the audio magic m-1 is far superior in every possible way imho. 😉

@snadeauu Welcome to Audiogon. I see you joined today. Selling a 30k piece with no history on the site might be difficult. My friend Juan at Bliss HiFi near me in the Twin Cities has the N30 30k flagship Aurender streamer. We both agreed the W20SE sounds more detailed and transparent because of its lifepo4 power supply. The 22k W20SE doesn’t require hi-end power cables either, whether you run a $20 or $2000 power cable to it does not change the perfect black background of the sound because it’s completely off the grid with its own lifepo4 batteries. |
@lalitk I listened to the N30 at his house on his system, about a 300k system, all flagship components, flagship cables, the W20SE is immensely more transparent and detailed and holographic on my 55K lifepo4 system. He's an Aurender licensed dealer. He confirmed the benefits of the W20SE with lifepo4 batteries over the N30. I really believe the next phase of HiFi will require Lifepo4 power, it's not even remotely close even with a Shanyata Everest and 10k in cables. |
