| Budget High Current Power Cords Virtual Dynamics Power 3 / Power 1 / David Series. Takes a bit of hunting but well worth it. I was able to source them for every component in my rig. | |
| Aurender 5.21.958 update @hgeifman I rebooted my network and the update worked perfectly!! Thank you sir! | |
| Aurender 5.21.958 update @hgeifman Thanks for the info...I rebooted the Aurender twice, but give it all a try tonight. | |
| Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II @ozzy62 I'd be really interested in knowing your thoughts on the Pontus vs Lampi. I was hot on the hunt for a Lampi or the Pontus. the Terminator came at a steal so I jumped all over it. | |
| Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II @ozzy62 N100SC has usb2.0 and coax. On the Termi, DSD 1024 / PCM 1536 is via usb only. Not really a big deal nevertheless id still like to be able to play with it. | |
| Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II I picked up a Terminator with the updated DSD board with the notion that I'd be able to enjoy the full spectrum of the Dac's resolution...well, turns out that the Terminator's isn't compatible with the usb2.0 port in my Aurender streamer. I reache... | |

| No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01 Ok, just off the phone with FedEx…apparently the genius who I was dealing with was stuck on stupid. The “declared value” policy remains the same up to $50K. The 1st $100 is covered by FedEx, anything over 100 is an additional $1.15 per $100 I apol... | |
| No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01 @sns I went to FedEx to ship a piece of gear today with $1500 insurance. They told me that as of Nov 1st they no longer insure items. Each package is covered by $100 loss/damage that’s it. If I wanted the $1500 I’d have to obtain the insurance fro... | |
| No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01 Some clarification: “What Changed In FedEx Insurance Rates In 2021 | FedEx offers insurance cover for parcels that are worth $100. If the value of the parcel is worth more than $100, you will have to declare its value and pay for additional covera... | |
| No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01 To make matters worse Fedex is hiking rates 5.9% Jan 3, 2022. So no insurance and a rate hike. Unfortunately the alternatives are dismal and less reliable. UPS is a disaster as it is but still better than USPS. | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point @in_shore Thanks! Do you still have the Terminator in your rig? It would be a bit of a stretch for me over the Venus but I was thinking of holding out till I can make it happen. | |
| A budget power cord has speed and transparent but not overly bright. Virtual Dynamics Power 3…Incredible what a PC for $100/$150 bucks can do. My entire rig is equipped with VD cords. You’ll need to hunt around to find them but they are worth it. | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point I’m hot for a Denafrips Venus II however my concern is service should it ever need repair. The thought of shipping it across the globe doesn’t sit well with me. | |
| Cost Effective System Improvement? Component wise, on your front end you have a great DAC, so I’d either upgrade the Bluesound with a good LPS or ditch it all together. I recently moved from a Node2i to a Aurender and it was quite a noticeable improvement. |
