| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Give it a shot! | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy Eno was nice but mellowed everything out a bit too much. I sold it before I got the N200. Kind of wish I still had it so I could try it. oh well… I’m familiar with Supra with Telegartner. Tried it. Decent. Wasn’t as good as the Eno sys... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy that’s a great test track and a very good recording. Out of curiosity, what Cat7 cable are you using? That’s between the etherregen and streamer correct? | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Fiber didn’t work for me although it was only to convert to fiber then back to copper before the streamer (doesn’t have fiber in). I heard glassy, artificial sound with reduced bass. Reverted it all back. | |
| What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific) That’s a good price range for a DAC. To me the A3 are slightly dark sounding. Used Chord DAVE should be nice with these speakers. So are the the DACs recommended by @ghdprentice above. Check the ARC DAC for compatible with your streamer if you’re ... | |
| What to do with dead equipment Sell it as is at a good discount in us audiomart. Get at least something for it. Don’t just junk it. | |
| Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!! @chocaholic nice system! Bet it sounds wonderful! The only thing is when I saw “BS node” I read it as Bull 💩 mode. It must be my confirmation bias kicking in. Just kidding… | |
| New to the B&W 801D4 B&W 800 series speakers love power. Add Pass Labs X600.8 mono amps to your list. Also, I am sure the MSB preamp section is decent but if you want better layering, better soundstage and more natural sound, consider adding a good linestage in th... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @mclinnguy thanks for the clarification! | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Out of curiosity, pull Ethernet cable from Innuous and connect it to Tambaqui. In Roon enable Tambaqui as end point. Give it a shot. Takes few mins. Whenever you have some time. If your innuos is the roon core, just connect the innuos with basic E... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @mdalton interesting point of view and a worthy response to my post above. 👍 | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Tony…my suggestion is to spin the Antipodes 24/7 and don’t judge it until around a 200hr mark. Have both spdif and usb connected. Make a playlist consisting of all bit rates and put it on repeat. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @mdalton I read that review and saw the section you linked us to. What that means, at least to me, is: 1. the USB and reclocking capabilities of the signal of the Mytek and dCS DACs are what’s expected from DACs at this level 2. does not in any ... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @mclinnguy different good or different bad going direct without the Ethernet gizmos? | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk ditto. We’ll see if it happens. |
