| High Fidelity MC-6 Power Distributor vs. Synergistic Research V8 Powerblock? @68pete, Thanks for your comments on the High Fidelity MC-6 Hemisphere. This product looks very interesting and I am trying to decide if I should buy it. I am currently using a custom made box for plugging in my DAC and integrated amplifier. It ha... | |
| High Fidelity MC-6 Power Distributor vs. Synergistic Research V8 Powerblock? As I understand it, the High Fidelity MC-6 Hemisphere uses magnetic conduction to get increased clarity, musicality, reduced noise and edginess, better dynamics, etc. Or, in other words, it uses magnetic fields to conduct electrons that improve ... | |
| Aurender N10 @hickamore, Thank you very much for your very kind words. I appreciate what you said and hope that my experience helps you make the right decision on purchasing your audio equipment. | |
| Aurender N10 @welcher, I cannot answer your question if you should purchase the Bricasti M21 DAC or the Bricasti M3 DAC. The answer depends on your budget, audio goals, what you are trying to accomplish, your existing equipment, your listening room and many ot... | |
| Aurender N10 There are many DAC's priced under $5,000 that will work with the Aurender N10. For example, one suggestion is the Bricasti M3 DAC. Please see:https://www.bricasti.com/en/consumer/m3.phpI like my M3 DAC very much and highly recommend you consider... | |
| Aurender N10 @hickamore, Sorry, I do not understand. Your original question was about SPDIF and AES/EBU connections vs. using an USB connection. I answered your question and said, in my opinion, I felt that an AES/EBU connection sounded better than a USB co... | |
| Aurender N10 As noted above, the Aurender N10 Music streamer supports BOTH USB and AES/EBU digital output connections to my DAC. I prefer the AEB/EBU digital connection (a high priority for me). Based on my switching back and forth, my ears always prefer th... | |
| To upgrade from Simaudio 600I to 740p/860a combo? My retailer told me that SimAudio offered to “buy back” my 6+ month old SimAudio 600i V2 integrated amplifier at “full price” in exchange for a new SimAudio 700i V2 Integrated amp. After a long conversation (with my retailer), I decided to accep... | |
| If I just use a DAC, do I need a Pre-amp? As noted above, some DAC’s volume control cut the bits at lower volumes. If your DAC does this, you definitely NEED a pre-amp. If your DAC has a ’high quality’ analog based volume control, it might sound great going direct to your power amplifie... | |
| Aurender Conductor occasionally will not play next song.... I suggest you turn your modem and router OFF for 2 minutes (physically unplug them from wall, remove any batteries) and then turn everything back on. Next is to determine if the software in your router needs to be updated. Log in into your rout... | |
| Aurender Conductor occasionally will not play next song.... I agree with @lalitk above that you should turn your Aurender unit off (unplug it from the wall), wait 2 minutes and restart it. This is not a restart but a complete device turn off and start from fresh. NOTE: Please turn your Aurender off fro... | |
| My Ayre AX-7e Integrated amp vs. an upgrade to the Ayre EX-8 Integrated amplifier I sold my Ayre AX-7e amplifier and purchased the SimAudio 340i integrated amplifier.

| My Ayre AX-7e Integrated amp vs. an upgrade to the Ayre EX-8 Integrated amplifier @joey54, Thanks for the suggestion to look at the Aesthetix Mimas Integrated amplifier.
