Why I Sold My Aurender N200
:) I love that cable and compared it to LinkUp and Supra. It beats both. But I’m fine with just one. If you reach out to Purist they might make you a custom shorter version. I found the owner Jim to be pretty good on responding to emails and provi... 
Why I Sold My Aurender N200
@navyachts no but you should be. The galvanic isolators need two cables. You only have one. Or is your thought process that with the galvanic isolator you can use a $3 cable? Lol

Cool. Thanks!

@marco1 if you get to try the iFi purifier with N200 please ket us know or message me. Much appreciated.   
Why I Sold My Aurender N200
@navyachts the iFi noise filter is very interesting. It converts copper to fiber then back to copper. Galvanic isolation should reduce noise and jitter. Only way to know is to try. You can also upgrade to linear power supply later. With this iFi L...

VH Audio is an excellent source.   
(Another) DAC Recommendation Request
I own and really like the Bricasti M3. Used within your budget. You can pick one up with a network card well within your budget on a used market. A good streamer like the Aurender N150 or N200 will be an improvement over the inbuilt network card b... 
Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
  grunge1000 17 posts 12-29-2024 at 09:47pm  @audphile1--Why? What's the point of listing my system and PC's that I have used. What information has been given that statistically proves that PC's have an impact on sound? I can tell you that ... 
Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!
Vivid audio… Reminds me of coneheads  
Why I Sold My Aurender N200
@navyachts you got it!  Since you are running Ethernet straight into Bricasti you can try iFi LAN iSilencer.  I have it connected to my erro node then connect purist Ethernet cable into it on one end and into my N200 on the other. The iFi gizmo do... 
Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
@luvtubes69 ​​​​@grunge1000 could you please list your systems and the power cables you have tried that made no difference on any of your components? Please…you continue to argue so it’s a good idea to substantiate your statements. Let’s see this ... 
vintage Audio Research DAC2 DAC3
Used to own CD3 MkII and if its sound signature is of any indication it was relaxed, airy, detailed, slightly warm but not dark, big images, big stage. I had it paired with ARC LS25 and Ref1 preamps into Pass X250.5 driving B&W N803. Wish I ne... 
Everything matters
When your network tweaks cost more than a DAC I can tell you that you’re not on the right track. Streaming quality is in the streamer and DAC first and foremost. No amount of switches or regens or filters or fiber optic converters will compensate... 
Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
@grunge1000 you’re free to think that.   
Help for me, money for you.
@george4471 If I understand correctly your bryston preamp has a built in dac and your innuous connects to it via USB? If that’s the case, I recommend the following- 1. Power everything off - shut down completely, nothing should be in stsndby ...
