| Aurender Conductor V4 issues @fthompson251 it won’t do a complete boot up from standby. I would definitely do a power cycle on absolutely all devices in your streaming chain including the N200 as the last piece in the chain, after the network is back up and running. I’m not s... | |
| Aurender Conductor V4 issues Try rebooting your iOS device, network and streamer. If it doesn’t help, it’s probably incompatibility between the iOS version and the Conductor. Do you have another iOS device you can try? | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? Basic cables that are competently built are audibly transparent. Some cables, be it by accident or design will color the sound. @scottwheel All cables are equal, but some cables are more equal than others. In that case, how do you know if t... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC Got it. And thanks for that explanation! So from my experience….I’ve had interconnects that caused fatigue. I’ve had power cords that caused fatigue as well. So in your case the root cause is the DAC or the cables that connect the dac to hegel... | |
| When to choice XLR over RCA ICs. What @cleeds said but you have to listen to determine what is best for you in your system | |
| Hegel H390 DAC Interesting. So you are planning on feeding a digital signal to Hegel then Hegel digital out to Aqua and XLR from Aqua to Hegel XLR in? If I am not mistaking, the clock in Jays CDT2MkIII is supposed to be insanely good. The digital signal that co... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC I wouldn’t expect an old cd player in the league of the jolida to beat a modern cd transport like the Jays CDT2MkIII. Better power supplies, better clock…it’s in a different category. You really have few options to improve your sound, IMO - 1. T... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC Sounds like a plan! | |
| Hegel H390 DAC I stand corrected. Thanks for clearing that up. I listened to la scala and it was tubes and sounded really nice. about staying with one brand of cable…it’s totally up to you but it isn’t necessarily always the best approach | |
| Hegel H390 DAC I see you have Audio Art cables so scratch my question. But try something better and use XLR. Something like the Kimber KS1126 should open things up. | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @stuartk you’re comparing a dedicated tube DAC to an integrated amp solid state onboard DAC. Most likely the Hegel DAC will sound leaner. What RCA cables are using from Aqua into Hegel? What power cord is on the Aqua? You might want to experiment ... | |
| Pass Labs Preamps with tube amps? I had XP12 paired with Rogue ST100 and it was a good combo. The Rogue amp was a bottleneck but not because it’s tubes. I run XP22 with X260.8 mono amps now and the synergy is great and I do not miss tubes. As to the comments above claiming Pass pr... | |
| Have At Err! It’s a sales spiel promoting his brand. Waste of time. | |
