Aurender Conductor App Question

Aurender Conductor App Question

Streamer Fidelity: Aurender N200 vs A200 and Lumin U2 vs T3
Hi @audiotroy, I appreciate your recommendation. Unfortunately my budget is around $3K, and that's why I am targeting the Aurender and Lumin models I mentioned above (used market). I am sure the 432evo units are awesome!

Magnepan DWM Bass Panel
@jafant Thanks for sharing your impressions! @johnto I am currently running my Maggies with an 8" B&W AS608 subwoofer, but I don't think I have dialed it in very well. Maybe there are benefits of using a planar bass panel like the DWM with Ma...
