| Solo streamer Thank you @audphile1 and @oddiofyl . This helps a lot. The Aurender has a lot more options than the Oppo 105. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano the Aurender will sound much better after break in. @ghdprentice are there instructions somewhere to learn the Conductor app? The instruction manual has one page about playing albums. Right now I'm only playing my files from the interna... | |
| Solo streamer Ordered my new Aurender N200 from a dealer on Audiogon. It shipped from Korea and arrived here, in Missouri, in about 6 days. Aurender might be experiencing quite an uptick in sales due to their new Room compatibility. Really like mine. It took 2... | |
| Least expensive plug-in power conditioner that works Excellent overview @lonemountain. I recently purchased an ECA "hospital" transformer that weighs 17lbs. It emits a large magnetic field and can't sit very close to the stereo, without affecting sq. 8ft away fixed that problem. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| A DAC for the Oppo 105 @dtorc like usual it depends. For one it depends on the quality of the tos transmitter and receiver. Oppo and Ayre both have great ones. Many won't pass 24/192 reliably. They don't have enough bandwidth. Oppo/Ayre does it well. A top toslink cabl... | |
| A DAC for the Oppo 105 I have the Oppo BDP 105 hooked to an Ayre Codex DAC. This should have a similar sound to your Ayre DAC. The toslink input plays 24/192 from the Oppo with ease. I use a very good toslink glass cable. The DH Labs Glass Master. This is a very detaile... | |
| Solo streamer Last month I did what rvpiano is proposing. Bought a new Aurender N200 and added it to an ~$2k (Ayre Codex) DAC. Glorious sound quality. Haven't streamed Tidal or Qobuz yet. Been playing my files off the internal SSD. Another thread said there wou... | |
| Solo streamer Do different WiFi extenders sound different? Anyone try more than one? Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Best budget USB @temmple I haven't tried the Excalibur. Couldn't find one with micro USB connector for the external hard drive. Just bought a new Aurender N200 server/streamer. Now I need an USB A-B cable to hook to the Ayre Codex. Excalibur is available in this ... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Appreciate the info @jslateiv . The Chardonnay is the best sounding linestage I've owned. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Supratek Owners Thread I'm looking at a DAC with srrp tube output stage. It needs a 50k or higher input impedance. Anyone know the RCA input impedance of my year old Supratek Chardonnay? Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Solid State Power Amps Don't guess. Join the Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra Stereo V2 tour. Hear it in your system for the price of shipping and a small review. Check their website to participate. It knocked my tube and class A amps out of the system. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| What are your thoughts/opinions on the Orchard Audio Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium @pprocter ask Leo if the converter circuitry can be built into the amplifier. He has done other custom things. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Magnepan 3.7i amp pairing Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra. Leo builds his own proprietary modules. I'm using them on full range Acoustat 3 Medallion. They've never sounded so good. First time in 40 years I feel there's enough power. Orchard Audio is running an amp tour. Y... | |
| Beautiful Colored Tube Preamp ($10k budget) to Pair w/ Very Accurate Monitors (PSI A25M) Love my Supratek Chardonnay that Mick built last year. Just fabulous sound with the stock 6SN7 tubes. Never had a preamp sound so right with easy to obtain new stock tubes. Wish I’d ordered one years ago. It would have saved me a lot of nos tube m... |
