| Keb Mo Awesome track. Suitcase album is great too and the title track is my go to for Keb | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Cool. I will start with the Diamond and see what it does. Everything I read about points to it being really good. I’ll report back when I get it. No ETA yet. | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 TMR has a black N200 now https://tmraudio.com/components/music-servers-streamers/aurender-n200-network-streamer-server-1-4/ I have one in black too and it looks great! | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 @saulh no idea how N150 sounds. I think you have a weak link there and it’s your DAC. I think it’s out of its league there. The streamer will definitely improve the sound but that bottleneck will remain. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 I looked into the kimber hybrid usb cable. @lalitk by any chance have you compared it against the AQ Diamond? | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC Yes. Rob Watts is a digital genius. I love the Chord sound. It’s remarkable what he’s been able to accomplish there. I have two minor gripes there with the Qutest and the TT2… 1. Power supply - wall wart? Really? Advantage is, minus one power co... | |
| Weakest link in my system tattooedtrackman OP 766 posts 12-16-2023 at 05:24pm @ghdprentice BTW. I really love classic rock and pop. R n B. Little bit of classical and county. If I was gonna look at different speakers It would be the Wilson Alexx V. Happy holidays!!... | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC I own one with the network card. Your streaming front end is excellent. No need for the dac inbuilt player. | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC It’s a great dac. The fact that it’s been listed for a while gives you leverage to get a great deal. I went from Qutest to Bryston to Benchmark to Bricasti M3 and the M3 is the best DAC out of them all. Contact the seller just make sure you cross ... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz Tidal’s been implementing what they call “Max”. Basically a non-MQA hi-rez format identical to what Qobuz offers today, up to 24/192. Not all streamers are caught up on it though but it’s becoming available at a steady pace. I have also read that ... | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @drlou77 I think your USB setup is as good as it gets right now. Upgrade the DAC. TT2 isn’t a qutest with preamp and headphone amp. It’s a better DAC. Another good choice would be this Bricasti M3 you can probably get a great deal on. Its a bette... | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality @ghdprentice if you don’t mind, how did the higher noise floor playing a CD manifest itself? What did you hear? | |
| Weakest link in my system I hear you. If ARC says don’t run these amps thru power conditioner then definitely don’t. But usually the Shunyata conditioners are passive design and aren’t current limiting. Agree though might not be worth the risk. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @lalitk thank you for the link and the USB recommendations. I’ll look into it. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 I actually think I should be able to access the SSD from my mac as a nas storage. I’ll try it at some point. |
