| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @mclinnguy I do listen to all those artists you listed. I do not listen to classical and that is what I wondered about as I see where people here and reviewers talk about how demanding this music is to be accurately reproduced. I don't have a ... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? Some additional insight was offered by Aurender tech support. I owned an A20 for about a year and had spoke to and emailed them a few times throughout my ownership. Their support/service is top notch. They felt that since I only had the Audioqu... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? This has been an enjoyable discussion to learn of others' experiences. I definitely feel more confident but still puzzled that these Aurender streamers are not showing more of an improvement in my system. I enjoy trying new equipment so will loo... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @audphile1 I did create my virtual system and listed my components but did not see a way to upload a picture. The field is there but nothing to click I am now comparing coax cables from the Node Nano to the DAC 9. My initial purchase was for an A... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? Thanks everyone for the reassurance as I feel this digital world is a bit unique in how we can build a great system I know @ghdprentice has had a different experience as I have read his posts of how his system improved with each advancement of st... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @lalitk I would not have ever thought that a single mfg system would be less revealing for the source components. Since I got serious about my system about 6 years ago I have had an all ARC system. I do appreciate major differences with phono ... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? I never thought about the music format/quality 100% of my streaming is done from Qobuz | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? The funny thing is that when I had the Node 2i, I got a few different coax cables and could distinguish a big difference between the 25yo Audioquest cable I had compared to the newer AQ Carbon I switched to. For this set up I got a new AQ Cinna... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? I know my title is extreme and realize that many experience just as you. I could tell more differences between the different DACs I had over the years with the Node 2i. I went through Schiit Gumby and Yggy and then the AR DAC 8 and a 7. I suppo... | |
| Bluesound icon vs Nad c700 @spread5150 I would get a Node Nano. They are only $300 and Bluesound claims that the streaming portion is improved over older models. I used to have a Node 2i and those are still selling for about $250 so I was considering buying used. Their... | |
| Amp for the new Watt Puppy speakers @brandan I visited WA a few months ago and they had them playing with D'Agostino and were amazing. I am an Audio Research fan so would also think they would work well. What color were your Yvettes....I have been thinking about getting some. ... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @zpatenaude37 I had the exact same experience with the conductor app. It drove me nuts! I have AT&T fiber optic internet service and the ethernet cable going from my router to the A20. No other connection issues in my home over the Wi-Fi. ... | |
| Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker I had a demo of Aerial Acoustics 7T and they were very impressive. It was a small-ish well treated room listening in the nearfield with high-end solid state electronics. | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma @yesiam_a_pirate It doesn't appear you have a subwoofer in your system. I have a pair HSU Research TN 1225 with his Model 500A amp. This system allows me to have easy access to the volume for the subs since the amp is with the rest of my gear.... | |
| I listened to a pair of Audio Research Reference 330Ms I am a middle-class audiophile and new ARC prices 5 years ago seemed like crazy expensive gear. My system is the only thing I really splurge on so buying used one generation back ARC gear is where I landed so spending about $15k on the gen 1 of t... |
