| DAC for Aurender N200 @fthompson251 Never posted mine because doing so would be of no value to anyone -- it's a weird room neither worthy nor capable of replication. Also, because I know so little compared to the many experts here, I offer advice only on "beginner" que... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @vthokie83 Seems @fthompson251 has essentially the same setup I do (Aurender-Coda-Legacy), so it makes sense that I start with the Denafrips rig offered by @audioman58. Just hope he is still selling these when my left ear has been fixed so I can h... | |
| Room setting: new amp or new speakers? You are getting contradictory information from different sources approaching the problem from different angles. Start with speakers and their placement. You have a lifetime thereafter to audition various streamers, DACs, preamps, amps, and cables... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @adasdad Original question was specifically directed to other users of Aurender N200 with experience of various DACs connecting via USB. Got multiple hits for ARC Ref9, T+A DAC200, Denafrips Terminator 15, Bricasti M3. Yes I want musicality, but s... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @adasdad Right, that is where this thread originated. I have researched every DAC mentioned, about 30 of them, and compiled my short list. Plan is to audition those available new within my budget, and if unsatisfied, try those on used market offer... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @benzman T+A Dac 200 ----> tube preamp ----> Class A SS amp? | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @stievus Thank you for the introduction to Le Dac2, one of the few new-to-me DACS mentioned here that checks all my boxes, including cosmetically.. Read up on it, including reviews which suggest I would prefer it to T+A Dac2. Impossible to guess w... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 Thanks to the many A'goners who weighed in on this. I will soon be making the best-informed device acquisition of my career. | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @lalitk @audphile1 & others very helpful, many thanks. I always prefer the warm side for extended listening, whatever the genre. This tends to mean Class A amplification and/or tubes somewhere along the way. @fthompson251 Does one pre-order ... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @lalitk Given the state of my hearing, I'm unlikely ever to move up to N20. So as you say, the goal is to connect N200 via USB to a better DAC. Wondering which if any of those recommended above you would pair with the N200? | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 The N200 has only USB and coax outputs. But I would like to use USB with a superior DAC and it sounds like used ARC DAC 9 would fit that bill. I have always aspired to hear what an ARC piece would do in my (slowly evolving) system. Will be on loo... | |

| Problems with lost Qobus Playlists? Playlists created on Qobuz are no longer recognizable as discrete collections. Qobuz has taken the liberty of mixing and hiding at its sole whimsical discretion. SQ is the best of any streaming service, but Conductor app not so much. No solutions ... | |

| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @evank Was the Coda a bad match with the Aric, or a bad match with your speakers? |
