| Please be gentle with me! š It will not only sound better, but also be a lot more convenient.Ā | |
| Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!! I need to A/B the change again, but Iād be hard pressed to tell the iFi LAN iSilencer is in or out of the system. I have mine between Ethernet cable and router. Iāll try between Ethernet and streamer.Ā | |
| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers Wilson, Magico, SF Olimpica all heavy and sturdy. Used within your price range. You can listen to Magico and SF at Overture. JS Audio in MD are Wilson dealers and occasionally have a certified preowned speakers.Ā | |
| Aurender Model Choices @jfrmusicĀ youāre going to love the N200 in that system.Ā | |
| Aurender Model Choices @benanders empirical and factual evidence, hearsay, bias. Iām in this hobby because I love music and enjoy gear. I donāt measure harmonics with an oscilloscope. And I donāt have to in order to provide thoughts based on actual experience. @lalit... | |
| Aurender Model Choices Pretty bad assumptions are made above, @benanders 1. I owned Benchmark DAC 3 HGC long enough to know it 2. Iāve used several streamers - Mac Mini, Auralic Aries G1, Lumin U1 Mini, Bricasti M3 built in network renderer, tried WiiM Pro Plus just t... | |

| Aurender Model Choices N200 in that system makes more sense than the N20. Iām currently using the N200 with Bricasti M3 DAC connected with AQ Diamond. The N200 with Coffee will be a significant improvement over your laptop. You wonāt regret it. | |
| Streaming Curious @fburkeenĀ I wouldnāt hold my breath. Youād need something better than the Bluesound. You will however get a feel for streaming capabilities with the enormous music library at your fingertips. That will be an interesting experience.Ā | |
| Streaming Curious @fburkeen If you can share what your current front end is, it will be easier to say what you can expect from bluesound node. On its own, the node is just ok. | |
| Ways to make your digital streaming sound better Iāve had an iFi LAN iSilencer in my system for about a month now, between the Purist Audio Ethernet cable and EERO (I figured cleaning up the signal coming out of EERO kind of makes sense since the Purist šāā¬ 7 is already pretty good at noise reje... | |
| The $10,000 Question Focal Kanta 2 with the right amp in that size room can be a good option. You can upgrade the amp later.Ā Or upgrade the anp and keep the forests. Theyāre not too bad. There is a pass int60 integrated on us audio mart now.Ā | |
| Ways to make your digital streaming sound better @tomic601Ā dude that was epic!Ā | |
| Cable upgrades @jimboman since you already got the power cordā¦in my experience placing the best power cord on the amplifier makes a pretty big difference. Between the AQ and Cardas, Iād try the AQ on DAC and Cardas on amp. Worth a shot. |
