750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
@essrand, I'm extremely jealous of your Nagra Tube DAC sir. If I were you, I’d have as few powered boxes between my router and your DAC as possible. https://www.nagraaudio.com/product/tube-dac/    
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@audphile1, I use a crappy Chord Hugo TT2 DAC with a bad Chord MScaler, a terrible Woo Audio WA22 hp amplifier, the worst Focal Utopia headphones, and four horrible old Bose 901 direct reflecting speakers. I’ve got thousands of CDs, LPs, reel to r... 
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@audphile1, I love that you’re enjoying the Briscati M3. I think that it’s great when folks can find a piece of audio gear that increases their music listening experience.   
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@audphile1, what was it about the M3 that you liked, and why did you move on from it? I’ve owned the Qutest and have had the Briscati in my system as a demo for comparisons to other DACs. I thought the M3 was okay, but I didn’t think it surpassed ... 
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@drlou77, I had a Qutest before trading it for a TT2 because I really love the Chord sound signature. I also use an Audiowise SRC-DX between my music server and my Chord MScaler where the listening chain goes, music server > AQ Diamond USB >... 
Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ
@mathiasmingus, I run two fairly inexpensive network switches in cascade between my CAT6 router and my ENO Filter System AG before my always to be ridiculed and mocked on this forum with derision Roon Nucleus music server, where the switches are p... 
Mahler 8th Symphony
This new recording by the Minnesota Orchestra under the direction of Osmo Vanska of Mahler’s 8th should not be missed.     
AQ Blizzard or Thunder?
@mskochman, in my system the AQ Thunder power cable was a significant upgrade from using the Blizzard with my AQ Niagara power conditioner. Thnx   
Let's Talk DAC's
@desperado915, how much do you enjoy your Chord DAC’s sound signature? Because if you do I’d highly recommend you demoing the Qutest.   
Nuclues plus bricked
@panamintsteve, I’m sorry to hear about your negative experiences with your Nucleus+ units. I’ve had my Roon Nucleus Rev B for about three years or so since the beginning of the pandemic, and I’ve never had an issue. The Intel chip in the Nucleus ... 
Nuclues plus bricked
@monkeyade, I also like Roon because it lets us play music on any device or through the speakers in the different rooms we have in our condo all at once so everybody is happy. My audio gear dealer of choice for almost 50yrs, puts together systems ... 
Nuclues plus bricked
@monkeyade, I’ve had a Nucleus since early on in the pandemic. Remember when you couldn’t go anywhere or do anything for two years straight? Fun huh? I bought it mostly for its plug and play functionality and convenience because now I focus more o... 
Power cable
@shtr74sims, yes I’ve had the AQ Thunder going from an isolated wall socket in my living room to the Niagara for the last three years without any issues.   
Power cable
@shtr74sims, when I bought my AQ Niagara 1200 for my hp system, I tried the Monsoon and the Blizzard before I settled on the AQ Thunder power cable because I believed it was the right price for what I needed. My very nice audio gear dealer let me ... 
Ethernet streaming
In my opinion it’s best to go with a separate DAC and streamer simply because it can sound better if you take the time to put things together correctly.
