| Aurender N200 vs N100H @jsalerno277 I’ve just recently upgraded to the N200. I was using a Brucasti M3 built in network card as roon end point. Going to N200 driving the Bricasti M3 via USB cable was a significant step up in sound quality. I agree with your assessment o... | |
| DAC suggestions for a reasonably modest system Chord Qutest is within your budget used. Excellent DAC. | |
| Records and CDs As @benanders points out, the comparison can be invalidated just by the difference between the masters. You just don’t know what version the streaming services have. Most of the time it isn’t the same. Pressing itself matters even if it’s the same... | |

| Network Acoustics Products? Not crazy at all you heard a difference replacing the power cord on the innuous. Have fun and don’t obsess 😂 | |
| Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect Yes they were a step up in my system. | |
| Power cable Advice... @classicrockfan we can give you some snake oil before you head back to ASR so you can give Amir a nice rub. | |
| Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect @temmple contact member mlmusic. I’ve gotten all my AZ cables from him. He’ll hook you up. | |
| Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings? @mitch2 the Lumin U2 streamer only or the previous U1.

| Network Acoustics Products? @bluethinker is this still your system? Innuos Zenith streamer with NRG “the five” cable Merason DAC1 with a LessLoss power cable Linear Tube Audio preamp with a cardas clear reflection cable Conrad Johnson Classic 120 with a Cardas Clear... | |
| Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings? @mitch2 Aurender isn’t Roon ready…not yet at least. Lumin is Roon ready though. I don’t have experience with Auralic G2.2 but when I had G1 it sounded better using Lightning DS. Lumin sounds smoother, to my ears, with Roon and I preferred the U1 ... | |
| Records and CDs @rvpiano exactly why I sold my analog setup. Constantly comparing digital vs analog, it’s an arms race. I ended up neither here nor there so I just focused on digital and the funds from selling my table, cartridge, phono amp and cables allowed me ... | |
| Seeking Budget CD Player Suggestions What exactly is on its last leg? Not reading discs? Reading discs but no sound? What’s the problem? It may be worth fixing the McIntosh. | |
| Zavfino and Neotech OCC Interconnect @temmple why can’t you use spades? You can have AZ Satori sp cables and Matrix Ref II interconnects used for under $1000. | |
| Network Acoustics Products? I’m with @carlsbad2 on this one. I’ll add that I owned Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System. It mellows the sound ever so slightly but it has nothing to do with digital artifacts such as harshness, glare, etc. That’s your components, speakers a... |
