| Solo streamer Anyone using any kind of isolation feet/platform with the Aurender? Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano there is something else you might try. Your CJ preamp is capable of 20 volts output. The Benchmark amp has three gain settings. Try setting the Benchmark gain to a lower setting. Hopefully it isn't already at the ~2v setting. Krell has be... | |
| USB DACs that outperforms OPPO 105D's internal DAC? @ihcho I have the Oppo 105 no D. I access songs quickly, via phone, using the Oppo app. I run the Oppo digital out to an Ayre Codex DAC. Recently bought an Aurender N200 streamer. It sounds better than the Oppo hooked to the same Ayre DAC. Probabl... | |
| Solo streamer @audphile1 glad you have the DAC back. @rvpiano I turned CLM on when the N200 first arrived. Before break in was complete, it sounded better with CLM. Not so sure now. Using Ayre Codex DAC with Jenving Supra Ethernet and USB cables. CLM off is bri... | |
| Why SACD Disc playback sounds better than its equivalent ripped DSF file / streaming @asin what if you use the Oppo 105 rear USB input? It sounds clearer than the front one. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano that is a great reply. Many companies wouldn't even bother to answer. This makes me wonder if Tidal offers alphabetical sorting? Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano if it doesn't have close to 200 hours playing time it gets even better. Thanks, aldnorab | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano glad the N200 sonics are working so well for you. Classical music is one of the toughest to catalog. Somewhere I saw Aurender asking for feature and improvement ideas. You might consider telling them what you’d like to see. Unlike many co... | |
| 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... |
