| Need help with Aurender N20 Nice! What model of Ethernet cable did you end up using? | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I let the Nexum A digital cable burn in for a couple hundred hours by now, and it is sounding even better than it did out of the box. Really excellent cable, blowing away my previous reference which is a Kimber Orchid I've been using for years. I ... | |
| Don't Neglect to check your Caps! Somewhat related question. Do capacitors deteriorate just with age, or does it have to do more with use? Or some combination? Say I have a component or speakers in storage long term, not being used but kept in a place with good conditions (no pr... | |
| Need help with Aurender N20 @rick_n I got a couple hundred hours on my Veritas Nexum A AES/EBU cable. I'm highly impressed with it at this point, and it has become my new favorite. I had been using a Kimber Orchid for many years, always been very happy with it. I also have ... | |
| Is Stream via ethernet Superior to BlueTooth? As mentioned, bluetooth is a lossy format that you should probably avoid in a high end system. It's great for convenience though, but not ideal for serious listening. Wifi is a different story. It can sound as good as hard wired ethernet on some ... | |
| Real experience - Balanced or Unbalanced between Luxman Pre & Power Amps I always use XLR if I have the option. It seems to sound more full bodied in many cases. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found My Nexum A AES/EBU cable just arrived yesterday and so far I am blown away by how nice it is. Anyone else have one of these and if so can you advise on burn in time? | |
| Need help with Aurender N20 @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 impr... | |
| Nordost's new Leif Series 3 Interesting, I have never seen this data before. Most of these do seem very thin, or should I say too thin compared to what one would expect. I've never really loved Nordost but also can't say I've noticed drastic problems either, though I can't r... | |
| Need help with Aurender N20 @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. | |
| My Focal Twin Setup and I2s Journey Thank you, nice write up. Audioquest makes so many different models that it can be hard to tell how they compare. I might be in the market for I2S (HDMI) cables soon and I'll keep an eye out for the Blueberry. Price sure seems right so it's worth ... | |
| Need help with Aurender N20 I have several systems in different rooms that I like to mess with. In one of them, I use the Sonnet Hermes network transport with the matching Sonnet Morpheus DAC. After trying all the connection types between them, including the I2S that Sonnet ... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday @mofimadness Hopefully my reply above makes sense. I just want another option to add Qobuz streaming in my various systems using a simple computing device I already own, rather than buying a dedicated streamer. | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday @lanx0003 I was wondering about using headless devices like a NUC, a Mac Mini, or similar which run the Qobuz software. These would be installed in a system and then controlled remotely using an iPad or Android tablet or phone. Right now this can ... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 / Benchmark DAC3B That's been my experience with Gustard too. Lots of rave reviews and happy users, I have had 3 different units fail be for one reason or another. Maybe just bad luck but I am done trying their products. Bryston BDA3 is a very competent device. I ... |
