| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev do you use Roon? And if so, have you tried the Tambaqui as a Roon end point, without the streamer? | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @pindac it’s probably best to start a new discussion. You’ll get more visibility that way and get more answers. | |
| Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!! Hurricane is excellent on the amp. Not surprised. | |
| Synergistic element copper good for power amp? @gte357s AQ Hurricane High Current The Tornado High Current is also very good. But the Hurricane is a step up. These are neutral, slightly warm sounding cables but without sacrificing dynamics snd details. if that is the type of sound you’re afte... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Don’t know what you’re getting at but ok. Good luck and happy listening! | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @mdalton Just FYI…noise does decrease with burn in when it comes to cd players, transports and streamers. I have experienced this several times myself. My N200 took over 200hrs to settle. I wonder if that’s where the N200 designation originated... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy N20 has OCXO clock. Yes the connection is DAC dependent but also content dependent. I would experiment with equal level AES and USB. Assume that the OCXO clock in the N20 is the superior of the 2 units, I’d use AES for regular Qobuz hi-... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @marco1 you’re right. The record has been set straight. We’re done here. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy I would not go as far as to call it a throw away. Aurender actually includes a somewhat decent USB cable that doesn’t do much harm. It doesn’t offend. Is it the last word in refinement, noise floor and extension? No. But I’d say it’s su... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @rick_n lol | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @fthompson251 hahaha thanks! Trying to cheer everyone up a bit. 😂 | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 AQ Diamond USB is here! I’ll let it cook for a week or so before I know what it’s really capable of, but it’s an immediate improvement in soundstage and tone over the stock cable. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @mclinnguy there was no follow up so I would assume that no, there was no round two to retest. I also won’t be building a Roon NUC to just try it. I’m also wondering if the $750 NUC was fanless. I forgot to ask. It’s rare to see a fanless NUC. And... | |
| *DAC Just try it without the fiber converters first before you do any upgrades. I’m curious what it’ll do in your system. Whenever you have time. | |
| *DAC Oh yeah thanks @jetter! +1 on Supra. Forgot about that. I used it as well. I even tried the Audio Sensibility version terminated with the Telegartner RJ45 connectors. |
