| Rel sub cable options After my post, I found the 'Russ Andrews' REL cable made from 8TC. That is almost exactly what I'm going to do except.....where he has 2 leads for a right + channel and a left + channel, I'll combine the wires into one lead for a single + connect... | |
| Rel sub cable options I just picked up a pair of S/510s that I'll be driving from PS Audio M1200 monoblocs. I have some extra Kimber 8TC lying around and was planning on using a single run of each to each sub. Using the Speakon 4-pole connector, I plan on using 8 con... | |
| Salon 2's.. What speakers cables are being used ? what have you tried ? I'm using double runs of Kimber 8TC. Haven't really tried anything else but I've been happy so far. | |
| Pops/clicks with Aurender N100H + McIntosh C47 combo I think trying a different cable is my next move. Now if there were only a few more choices. :-) | |
| Pops/clicks with Aurender N100H + McIntosh C47 combo Spent an hours or so going back and forth between the Eitr providing signal to C47 over coax(from the USB out on the N100) and straight USB out from the N100 to the C47. Sometimes I thought I heard a slight difference and other times I couldn't t... | |
| Pops/clicks with Aurender N100H + McIntosh C47 combo So I did order and install the Eitr from Schitt. Unfortunately between work and travel I've had no time to sit down and compare it v. the Mac USB connection. Hoping to get some time over this weekend. | |
| Pops/clicks with Aurender N100H + McIntosh C47 combo The app is pretty straightforward. Sometimes it can be frustrating how switching from local music to Tidal for example will change your underlying view; you'll understand when you see it and get used to it. I'm still tempted to try the Schiit E... | |
| Pops/clicks with Aurender N100H + McIntosh C47 combo The only other one I'd consider would be Lumin. All depends if you need onboard storage. | |
| Pops/clicks with Aurender N100H + McIntosh C47 combo Aurender solved the problem. I had extensive email exchanges with their Technical Support Manager; awesome guy. Turns out I'm not the only one whose had issues. They had heard of the same problem from other customers. He asked if they could p... | |
| Pops/clicks with Aurender N100H + McIntosh C47 combo I contacted McIntosh. They basically told me it was Aurender's problem to solve and to use a different output type (i.e. coax, optical, etc.) They also said the USB input is meant for computers where drivers can be used to manage the communicati... | |
| Pops/clicks with Aurender N100H + McIntosh C47 combo I just did a bit more digging. All 3 of the big brands are Linux-based platforms: Aurender, Auralic and Lumin. I can't believe someone isn't using one of these with a McIntosh DAC. | |
| Pops/clicks with Aurender N100H + McIntosh C47 combo Dave-I was aware that the Aurender is a Linux-based machine. Maybe therein lies the problem as the C47 doesn't explicitly say it is compatible with Linux. The only setup steps you can make for USB on the C47 are actually on the source device (a ... | |
| All-in-one: $1k Marantz or $2k Hegel? I'l throw another option in the ring....Peachtree nova150 or nova300 with a streamer of your choice. Or....get the Peachtree and what about 30 days as they are just about to release their built-in wifi streaming solution. The existing units are ... | |
| New Magico A1 Bookshelf Speakers! As a current A3 owner, I'd imagine the A1s to be something special, but as with all speaker choices, it does come down to what you like to listen to and prefer, taking lots of factors into account. I love the A3. Amazing sound in a small footpri... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... If it come into play, and I'm sure it does, I am using the just released Peachtree Nova 500 integrated. Gobs of power and very neutral-sounding unit. |
