| Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200 Somewhere there’s an issue. I’m not sure the U2 was the root cause. It probably just highlighted it. | |
| Some Cables Thoughts I’m using Audience Forte F3 on my Pass monoblocks. They’re good 10 gauge power cords. Check partsconnexion for these. They may be running a special and you can save a few bucks. | |
| Some Cables Thoughts Scratch that…it’s a 90 degree IEC plug. | |
| Some Cables Thoughts For power cords…if I’m not mistaking Nordost Heimdall 2 comes with a 90 degree AC connector. I would try that on the amp if I were you. | |
| Some Cables Thoughts See if linkup cable is within reach and comes in thr length you need. https://a.co/d/5kPfmtr | |
| Some Cables Thoughts Cool. You’re going to like the purist. For power cords…why audio envy? I am not familiar with their cables but just curious what’s prompted you to choose that brand for the Aurender streamer? | |
| Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200 Getting the N200? | |
| Power cable Advice... @mclinnguy the Gargantua II is a good all rounder. It’s a bit dark sounding with emphasis on bass. If a system calls for this kind of sound, it’ll work wonders. But don’t expect insane instrument separation like you’d get from the similarly priced... | |
| Power cable Advice... @teleos go with Nordost Norse 2. A bit fuller sounding than the series 1… I like it a lot better. I would say if you’re upgrading power cables try Frey 2 on amp and Heimdall 2 on preamp and cd player. If you want a lot fuller sound the the AQ stuf... | |
| Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200 Can you get the stock power cables back on dac and U2? And use generic or DH Labs USB. Set the baseline. It’s very possible that your cables are influencing the annoyance in the presence region. Do you have silver or rhodium plated connectors some... | |
| Power cable Advice... without knowing your speakers and the rest of your csbles… On a warmer side with plump bass and thick full mids…Audioquest Storm Series Hurricane More evenly balanced - Nordost Frey 2 or even Heimdall 2 Slightly on a brighter side - Shinyata Al... | |
| Aurender Model Choices Awesome! I’m looking forward to your thoughts. Just make sure that you give each streamer and yourself at least a day, preferably more, before switching out for another unit. A quick A/B is never a good way to compare things. Allocate some alone t... | |
| Aurender Model Choices So…I’ve used several streamers with Benchmark but not the n200 as I just recently got it. I could hear the difference in sound switching out power cords, Ethernet cables and adding Eno Ethernet filter as well as fiber optic conversion and network ... | |
| Aurender Model Choices Thanks! Yeah the X260.8 monos are my current amps. Also how did you get those heavy amps home and into you room? Adrenaline! Just kidding. My son was around and helped me. | |
| Aurender Model Choices I tried Conductor v3 and yes it’s not the best. But I can tell you the latest v4 is really nice. Still not on par with Roon but light years better than Lumin app and comparable to Auralic LDS. |
