| Lifting the Christmas veil Cool wife, awesome present! Enjoy!!! | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ Yes the Eno is gone. I actually had it for a while and concluded I didn’t need it. With it in my system the sound became a bit too mellow. I heard that their Muon is more dynamic and more resolving but I’m not planning to spend $2200 on the netwo... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @efoo it’s fun to play with to hear what it does. Takes a few days to get a hang of it. Same with Roon DSP sample rate conversion. Sounds good for few hours then I switch back. The Auralic Aries G1 that I owned also had upconversion and once agai... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @cleeds I have owned Auralic Aries G1 and Lumin U1 Mini. Currently I am using a network renderer in my DAC (Bricasti M3) as a Roon endpoint (Roon core duties are handled by Mac Mini) without an outboard dedicated streamer. I also occasionally use ... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ That sounds like a good setup! Enjoy! | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @mathiasmingus congrats on the purchase! The BDP3 if my memory serves is Roon ready. I’d give that a shot for the free trial period and compare the sound quality of Manic Moose vs. Roon. I’ve seen the Bryston software and I am pretty sure Roon is ... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ Adding switches, fiber optic conversion modules, linear power supplies and other similar tweaks will never turn a bluesound node into Grimm MU1. Invest into better quality components. | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @cleeds some streamers buffer, some cache. Different technology and design concepts altogether. Buffering leverages what is typically a small memory area that fills up and outputs data to match the transmission/stream speed. Think of it as your fa... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 The upsampling in Lumin always sounded processed to me when I tried it with U1 Mini. I wouldn’t make that a deciding factor. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 I was curious about the U2 vs N200, not the U2 Mini vs N200. That would not be a fair comparison. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Doodle I had a U1 Mini and it was decent but not on the level of my current system. I wouldn’t expect the U2 Mini to be that much better than the old version. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @lalitk no worries. I realize the N20 is a step up from the N200 but unfortunately it’s currently more than I’m willing to drop on a streamer. Appreciate everyone’s advice. I didn’t think that anyone ran the U2 and the N200 side by side for a com... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @cleeds do all streamers cache? Let’s not confuse caching with buffering…I’m asking about caching. | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality @mahler123 yep the manic moose is hideous. I heard the CXN v2 and the lstest node although not side by side. I think the latest node and the Cambridge are pretty close and it’s possible the cxn v2 is a just bit better, not sure. My point was to ma... | |
| A great interconnect between Soulution 751 and 725 Used Nordost Tyr 2 XLRs in your price range. Great detail resolution and clarity without any harshness. You want something that would let these components shine and this would be it. |
