| Why does the aurender N100h sound so bright and edgy My apologies for being wrong about the MQA part as has been pointed out to me in another forum but I do stand firmly by the fact that the new system version makes the sound "bright and edgy" as described. | |
| Why does the aurender N100h sound so bright and edgy Pavpet,This may be the answer to your problem.I find the latest software upgrade which is meant to cater to the unfolding of MQA files, actually degrades the sound of redbook and non-MQA hires PCM and DSD files considerably. It does make the N100H... | |
| Aurender N100H or Auralic Aries? My dac has a usb A-port at the rear panel and I previously played music files off a thumbdrive ported to this. But comparing this with the same thumbdrive ported to the Aurender, the Aurender sounds better.When playing files from the Aurender’s in... | |
| Aurender N100H or Auralic Aries? Hi falconquest,I just got the Aurender N100H in my system and boy, does it do wonders for SQ! It is truly a night and day difference.Some of the reasons why the Aurender sounds so good could be down to its internal storage and 120G RAM cache for p... | |
| Why does the aurender N100h sound so bright and edgy Turns out the issue I mentioned in a previous post was not with the N100H but with the AQ JB. All is well now with removal of the JB. :) | |
| Why does the aurender N100h sound so bright and edgy I just brought home a demo unit of the N100H for audition and I had to send it back.I don’t find it to sound bright or edgy. Quite the opposite, actually.What I found wanting in the N100H is the stability of its internal computer environment. At t... | |

| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? I have have a buddy who has a system similar to mine. We put a preamp in his system and wow, more natural, musical, fuller sound. Put it in my system, no discernible difference. His: Cambridge magic streamer into a Nuforce mcp 18a analog pre to Be... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? We know that already. So requiring a preamp would not make it a poor design. Someone who wishes to get the Holo dac in a system that currently has an active preamp would be ok or should he change his active preamp to a passive one as an active pre... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? The well-reviewed Holo Spring dac requires a preamp. Not recommended for purchase then? | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Heard it for myself at my local dealer’s. You can listen to the bhk preamp with the DS at your local PS Audio showroom and let us know your experience. :) | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Interesting. Most who have heard the PS Audio DirectStream via the BHK preamp to power amp(preamp is about 6k), agree that this combo sounds better than direct to power amp. http://www.audiophilia.com/reviews/2016/6/18/ps-audio-bhk-preamplifierSo,... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? To all those in this thread who hear a significant improvement in the overall sound of their systems with an active analog preamp in the chain(myself included), it's good to know that we have let our own ears decide, theory notwithstanding.Happy l... | |
| Kimber KS-1130 or KS-1126 @jond,You are quite likely right. Just in case, he hasn’t decided....It took me 5 years after reading this thread to finally pull the trigger for the 1126. :) | |
| Kimber KS-1130 or KS-1126 Shsohis,I have been using KS 1130 from source to preamp and Silver Streak from preamp to power amp for several years now.I recently upgraded to KS 1126 for pre to power amp....Wow!I would say the KS 1126 is indeed comparable in performance to the ... |
