| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled Thanks! It’s 1.5m - same as my AQ Diamond. Nordost was 2m and stock USB is probably 1.25m. I don’t think it matters or at least it shouldn’t when we’re talking 1.5m long usb. | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? I would recommend more power than the minimum required 25w for these speakers. Keep that in mind. Coda S5.5 should be fine but I would probably opt for No.8 V1 just to get more headroom. Not familiar with other amps in your list never heard them. ... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @jimboman I use AQ Diamond and it sounds very good with the Bricasti. Good luck and keep me posted. | |
| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled That’s not a bad idea to test it with a computer. I can use mac mini to stream from tidal snd see if it craps out. I opened a support ticket with Aurender as well. Hope they find something. As to the sound I’m very impressed with it. Relaxed, a... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @lalitk I posted a new discussion here. I love the sound but it cuts out after some time. I’ve never experienced this before. I reinstalled my AQ Diamond and no issues. | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @jimboman check your messages I replied there. I would bet a good USB would be better than AES but worth trying. Good AES not sure…haven’t tried anything recently except DH Labs which was decent. | |
| Amp for B&W 802N You should be fine with Classe 400M mono amps. You should also consider getting a matching preamp. That Marantz receiver is way out of its league there. | |
| Room is way too bright. It would help to see the room and speaker placement as well as the associated equipment. Without this it’s really hard to make a good recommendation | |
| Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker? Have you searched the virtual systems? You can PM the owners. | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @dhite71 nice system! See if your daughter can hear difference between streamers…sounds like she’s got a good ear! | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A Happy Holidays to you too @navyachts ! | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp Perfect you’re set! | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce glad to hear you’re enjoying the nee preamp! Not sure what tubes are used as stock but may be better to direct the funds towards amplifier and DAC upgrades and tackle the tube rolling after? I wouldn’t waste money on fuses. At least no... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @jonwolfpell that’s my PS Audio DSD MkI vs. Bricasti M3 results as well. No comparison. Especially in noise floor that’s pretty much the foundation for all other improvements over PS A. | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A I had an awesome conversation with Doug over the phone. Great guy. Told me few funny stories. I think he’s more of a phone conversation type dude and email might not be his favorite form of communication . |
