| MSB Premium Quad Rate USB2 Module I listen to Tidal a lot and feel that with my system, Aurender N100 and MSB Analog Dac with USB Quad, that it is the equal of a ripped CD. If I find an album I really like and it is available on hi res download or SACD I will often purchase it. Bu... | |
| MSB Premium Quad Rate USB2 Module Improved all, PCM, high resolution 96/24, 192/24 and simple redbook ripped from CD. I also have DSD and it was better but I am not overwhelmed by DSD. Some very nice titles but I search out the music I like now and don't just go to DSD for DSD sak... | |
| MSB Premium Quad Rate USB2 Module Yes, I purchased the new quad rate USB and am very happy with it. I was playing my files through the MSB UMT Plus and IS2 as this sounded better than through the standard USB. The new USB quad is on par with running files through the UMT Plus tran... | |
| Macbook Pro to Aurender Well, a follow up. Aurender custom installed a samsung 1TB 850 Pro SSd into an N100H and my dealer set it all up. It is working great and I think that it actually is a sonic upgrade from my Macbook pro. It sure is easier to use. Tidal is definitel... | |
| Macbook Pro to Aurender Tried the Aurender. Some nice things, others not so great. Lack of ability to easily get Meta Data for ripped CD's was kind of the deal breaker. Very nice build etc but it all came down to that realization that it is really a computer in audiophil... | |
| Macbook Pro to Aurender Well, I am demoing an Aurender N100 now. Several hours for my music to transfer but Tidal came up easy as pie and sounds great without any problems so far. Simple, really great build quality. So far so good. | |
| Macbook Pro to Aurender Thanks for the reply's. I am going to demo the N100H in the next few weeks and see what I think. | |
| Try Stillpoints footers under Power Conditioner? Yes under an Audience AR6. I have used Stillpoints a lot and have a bunch. Biggest difference was speakers, then AC conditioner, then amps. Little change under MSB analog dac or power supply. Some benefit under MSB UMT+. | |
| Price of Audience aR6-TSS Power Conditioer You could look at the cable company, they carry new audience products. | |
| MSB Analog DAC experience Stickman451, yes, I did get the MSB Analog DAC and like it a lot. I got it with the USB that was later upgraded to the new USB II for DSD x4 but mainly because it sounds better with the regular rebook as well downloads. I also got a Universal Medi... | |
| Herron M1-1A monobocks, what do you think? I have had the entire Herron set up. I went to digital only and sold the preamp and phono stage and kept the M1A. I run a MSB Analog Dac straight into the M1A's. The last piece of herron I bought was the mono amps and I think it was the best piece... | |
| Diana Krall, Wallflower But she conveys the lack of emotion with such intensity. I liked the album. | |
| Should I switch to a preamp with balanced outputs For audio I prefer single ended if I can get it. That being said, there is so much more to sound quality than if the piece is balanced and single ended. I think the hype on balanced for home audio is just that in most cases. I would stay where you... | |
| Herron VTPH-2 power cord When I had a VTPH-2 I used the Audience PowerChord SE with very good results. I use this same power chord on all the Herron, phono, pre and power amps. | |
| Synergistic Research HFT are you using them? I did not find them to make any difference though the person doing the demo would proclaim marked improvement in ( insert audiophile word of the day ) each time another set was added. I do believe in room treatment, vibration control etc. I just w... |
