| Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration @jfrmusic Luxman and CODA are known to have great synergy with Harbeths. Take a look at their integrated amps and even separates. I would definitely not add another Benchmark. It’s not going to be on the level of your digital front end. | |
| New streamer needed I would try the N100 then if the price is right. | |
| New streamer needed I’m not sure about N100. Not familiar with Accuphase or Merason either. It took Aurender N200 in my system to level the playing field. | |
| New streamer needed @stievus if you can stretch it, there are few used Aurender N10 streamers on US Audiomart. Another option is Lumin U1 (not the mini). But the UI(user interface) of the Aurender app is significantly more user friendly. | |
| Adding streaming services to a streamer via usb @cdtd there are cheap streamer options such as WiiM or WiiM Pro Plus. Way better off using these options than jumping thru hoops with usb drive. | |
| Aurender Model Choices @jfrmusic my recommends would be to start with a baseline level Ethernet cable like the bluejeans you had mentioned or even the Amazon Linkup cable. Don’t invest in switches or any other network tweaks. The MSB Discrete has a built in preamp secti... | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @drlou77 I would upgrade the cable to your streamer - thar is the most critical link. Everything before that you could probably get away with Amazon LinkUp cable. Also…why not continue with the cable co? They should cut you a nice deal after the ... | |
| Aurender Model Choices @jfrmusic congratulations!!! That’s one heck of a digital front end! Enjoy it and keep us posted! | |
| Aurender Model Choices @lalitk definitely worth trying. | |
| Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect Cool. Make sure you allow st least couple of hours for each cable set to settle before you listen critically. | |
| Aurender Model Choices @lalitk that’s an interesting point. | |
| Aurender Model Choices Ah I kind of thought that was it…I’m in north jersey and that’s a hike for me. I’m been there and it’s a good store. Keep us posted. | |
| Aurender Model Choices 👍 Is this a local NJ dealer? MSB is on my list. Not immediately but hopefully not in too distant future. I’d take a ride to hear it if it’s not too far. | |
| Meitner Ma3 Streaming vs Aurender @jfrmusic I used the network card in the Bricasti M3 DAC and it competed with a $2000 Lumin U1 Mini. I then sold the Lumin and used the M3 as a Roon end point for a while until I tried the Aurender N200. The network card in a Bricasti is not on th... | |
| Aurender Model Choices While there, is it possible to compare N200 to N20 driving the same dac? |
