Aurender N100C - alternative apps?
For anyone following this thread, Aurender recently (not sure how recently) updated it’s app for android and I have to say it’s light-years better than it was before. Still not quite as silky-smooth as via the iPad, but now it seems that almost al... 
Review on the Rockna Audio Wavelight Pre/DAC just went up on Stereo Times
Hi all,I’m in that "fantasy phase" dreaming about my future DAC upgrade... and given all the characterizations of the sound, synergy with the forthcoming music server, and built-in analog pre-amp, my current fantasy-favorite is the wavelight. I wa... 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
I've got the bug for a new DAC. My Hegel HD30 is "very good" (and resolves more detail than you'd think 16/44.1 redbook could capture). But I'm hoping to get a more organic/liquid midrange and that sense of solidity from an R2R (or comparable) DAC... 
Focal Sopra 2 vs Sopra 3?
Just a minor point (I had the Spora 3s)... and most folks probably know this but they aren't "rear ported" in the conventional sense. In fact, their downward firing bass reflex port actually vents to the front of the speaker along the base, so the... 
Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
"needs" burn in? Within 30 seconds of adding to my system I was hearing sound more glorious, musical, natural, and emotional than I had ever heard before from any of my gear. So if you can handle 30 seconds, you might be fine. :)Having said that, ... 
Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
Hi Alex,out of curiosity, how difficult was it for your electrician to correct? Was it just switching two wires attached with screw-terminals, or something more complex (soldering etc)? Thanks!p.s. I haven't checked my unit yet as I need to pull m... 
Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
Thanks so much @dvdboulet for your detailed response! Sounds like the problems you had with the other conditioners are what I am experiencing. Can I also ask what power cable you are using with the 3500P? I see there are 15 amp and 20 amp version... 
Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
Hey Alex,Apologies for not having yet dedicated the time to get my detailed review written and posted here... as it would/will directly address your questions. Rest assured this is one of those rare cases where they hyperbole is warranted... and p... 
Innuos - New Re-Clocker
p.s. my point about mentioning USB cables affecting sound with an asynchronous USB DAC is that it illustrates that there must be more to the puzzle that merely a "master clock controlled by the DAC"... variables that can originate with the signal ... 
Innuos - New Re-Clocker
I too would love to understand the science behind the sonic impact. However, that's not to say I dis-believe it's possible without a proven explanation. That's because I have an asynchronous-USB DAC (Hegel HD30) and use USB to connect my Aurender ... 
Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
Hi all,I wanted to say that even with the sale period over, I decided to get the Inakustik 3500P based on all the reviews and because I suspected that much of what was "holding my system back" was source-power related.I’ve had it installed since S... 
Wharfedale Elysian?
I had the Sopra 3s which (despite being great sounding speakers in the showroom even with my same gear) never sounded right in my room (similar to what you said, and were bass-shy despite good amplification etc.). I heard the Wharfedales at the Ca... 
Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
"Anyone considering the 3500P unit: they are having a $2400 free shipping special right now."Hi!Where did you order? I've found this link below by googling, but I don't see an option to select the US model (and the photo shows the EU socket style)... 
Innuos - New Re-Clocker
Just saw that command performance A/V (Fairfax va) now has this reclocker.  Very curious to see if anyone with an Aurender N100 gives this a try and appreciates the result.

Hey whitestix, which spatial model do you have?
