| Add a pre-amp to Mola Mola Tambaqui? I have owned a Tambaqui and at the same time had a customer consign a Makua with the DAC built in. Unless you are dead set on conserving space, I would opt for a separate preamp and use the full Tambaqui unit. While the preamp is very clean, it di... | |
| T+A Elektroakustik Caruso R 10 I’m a T+A dealer but do not have any on my floor. I did hear them at AXPONA in 2022, but the playback was fairly soft because the team was catering to the headphone wearers as they were highlighting the Solitaire P headphones and HA 200 headphone ... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 Luckily I will have two. :) I’ll evaluate it on its own and will compare experiences to the two box approach. | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 @lalitk Yes, in short if I ever had to close down my dealership and downsize everything, I'd likely sell most of my components and just stick with the AP20. That's how impressed I am with it. But more to come later. Lackluster Roon core options a... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 @lalitk Well, like I said, they do have some other integrations in the works. I’m not sure what that means but I’m looking forward to them. Speaking of Roon cores, I will have a Synergistic Research Voodoo streamer/server coming around end of mon... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 @ghdprentice Thanks! I got a bit busy with life for a while and haven’t been on the forums much in the last quarter, but in trying to get myself back regularly once again. :) | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade @lalitk Excellent stance. The system is only as good as the weakest link in the chain. But people’s values and priorities are personal and differ case by case. Whether someone finds value in investing to improve said weak links is dependent on wh... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 @vthokie83 Yes, opinion is split on which is better, N200 and N10, depending on the priorities (resolution vs tonal density, etc). Unfortunately, I don’t know what is in the works in terms of third party apps, and if I did, I probably wouldn’t be ... | |
| Streamer/DAC Recommendations w Wavelett II @fthompson251 Have you tried with and without the outboard DAC now that you have the N200 in place? If so, can you share your experiences? With the Wavelet 1, I had the PS Audio DirectStream DAC MK1 and wasn’t really able to tell a difference what... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 @vthokie83 The N10 is sonically very close to the N200, with the N200 being a bit more detailed. The challenge with the N10 is that it is quite a dated unit, and at this point Aurender is not supporting it with upgrades anymore. It is on a complet... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 @saulh I am an authorized Aurender dealer and was just on another thread where the OP was contemplating between an Aurender N150 and N200. Given his current components, I provided guidance for him to start with the N150. Given your current compon... | |
| Streamer/DAC Recommendations w Wavelett II Hey @rbrannen - I am an authorized Aurender dealer and Legacy Audio installer (I deal Legacy products but am required to install anything I sell). I also owned the Legacy Aeris with the Wavelet long before I became a dealer. From what I recall, Wa... | |
| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC @bigfatpaulie In all honesty, the T+A DAC 200 should be in that list above considering all of the priorities you list (soul, holography, and resolution). I've said it before but I still think the DAC 200 is the best I've heard under $15K. In full ... | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade @j_andrews I am an authorized Aurender dealer and agree with some of the others. Where I typically will say the N200 is the sweet spot of the Aurender line, the N150 is no slouch and would fit very well with the components you list in your virtual... | |
| Please compare the Weiss DAC202 with modern DACs @greg_f I have not heard the Weiss 202, but I have heard the Weiss 501, which from what I understand a considerable step above the 202. Despite the advancement, I've found even better DACs on the market today, mainly the T+A DAC 200, which has a l... |
