750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
   In- have not been good at all ,I have spoken with several people have had horrible customer service ,with Innous,and  getting back to customers , that is one reason I have not considered them what’s up with them ,covid is no longer a valid excu... 
Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
My new Coda CSIB integrated amp is excellent and nice to have a well made U.S.A product, also the New Denafrips Terminator2/ and DCC reclocker are excellent additions to my audio system , next year is the most expense part of the system New Loudsp... 
What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
One easy improvement ,buy a $200 Wireworld Starlight Ethernet cable  and to clean the digital signal , a Uptone Audio Ether Regen  both are very well known and will for sure improve your sound For Sure !!

LordMelton  you are correct your 👂 ears are the best measuring tools  graphs and specs do count when designing ,but there is ways to smooth out a ripple or spike ,and smooth things with oversampling FPGA ,the final result is how does it sound  to...

What I meant to say is  the digital stream is never perfect, But the much more costly units  have many ways to correct Jitter or timing errors , this too is where a DDC  -Digital to Digital converter to clean up the incoming digital stream and el...

For anyone to say jitter which are timing errors are totally incorrect , even though the signal arrives in packets , the timing  can be off , distortions elsewhere substandard filtering, power supplies ,regulation pre,and post . this is just a Bi...

Cindyment I totally understand  there are Waay to many arm chair experts. one thing is for sure the best measurements don’t always sound the best . A perfect example A vacuum tube amp,or preamp measure no where near as good as even a mid fi amp ...

big_ Greg. What do you have for a dac , and what is your reclocker ?  
.? Digital Reclocking and syncing clocks does anyone know the correct Answrrsb
Reclocker works great for even decent streamers are far from a noise free environment ,try s good reclocker ,then you will see  if using a computer a must ? As well as a uptone Ether regen on the Ethernet input  noticeable improvement.

The holo May is very good , the Terminators have been improved as of April 2021 and in one specific better measurement in one area ,many times not quite as good as others ,they both sound excellent in their own ways..  Reclocking cleans  digital ...

Just received from Denafrips  The DDC is mainly to resolve the interference of the USB transmission potentially induced from the USB host (computer/streamer). Such interference/noise is difficult to be handled & eliminated by the DAC itself d...

The master clock helps only if in your dac it’s not of equal or better quality. i seen response from engineer Alvin from Denafrips he said in New Terminstor2,and plus model the terra clock no advantage pretty equal ,  but reclocking , and syncin...

To big_ Greg. The link you sent is in German which myself don’t know  can you translate in and resend ? Thank you .

I was told the terra master clock is not worth it for New Terminator-2 which is pretty much identical to the Terminstor + but difference is the 1k R2R resistors in both  are even better spec then .005 in terminator2 , hand specked boards and roun... 
Great values in Highend Digital
The $5995 is in Singapore dollars and equals out to under $4500  US , these are selling fast especially so in Europe for after the new year because  of BIden  and energy shortages price will go up maybe $500 after the New year exact same build ...
