| Music Serviers: Wyred 4 Sound MS-2 or Aurender N100H Hi nycjlee,Yes, the iFi usb 3.0 really does wonders. Link to my post from another thread :-https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/dac-regenerator-and-reclocking-devices | |
| Naim Core Hi raindog031,Thanks for sharing your unfortunate experience with the Naim Core. I almost bought it instead of the Aurender N100H but was saved by the dealer who has known me for years with respect to Esoteric products which he also carries. He si... | |
| Music Serviers: Wyred 4 Sound MS-2 or Aurender N100H Hi cdc2,I can’t comment on the Wyred4Sound but I have had no regrets with my Aurender N100H which is the biggest value component for the price in my system. It removes the leanness and digital hash from my previous PC set-up with JRiver. To optimi... | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices The 3.0 will most certainly flesh out your system sound very nicely. It did for mine making it sound balanced throughout the frequency range. Also, the soundstage opens up in all dimensions. But the one trait that I have come to value most about t... | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices Do you know anything about the new ifi micro 3.0 or Ideon Renaissance? Hi goofyfoot,I have had the iFi Micro 3.0 for some time now with it connected between the Aurender 100H music server and the Esoteric N-01 dac(silver Oyaide usb cable from the... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Yes, they can be, and better, but you must use them in the top 25% of their full output, if below they can strip bits of the music and reduce resolition.....So, we can easily compare direct to power amp at top 25% of full output of dac’s VC vs wit... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Yes get a Schiit Freya (active/passive, tube/ss, etc/etc) with remote which has a superb relay controled volume control, balanced or SE, and you can have it all, so you can see for yourself what suits. Compared to direct connection.And you can sen... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? I really don't see any point in continuing this endless debate that has been raging since time immemorial. Simply trust your own ears and cast aside all theory, dogma, aspersions, etc as to which should be right or wrong. As has been said ad nause... | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" Comparing an MQA file via an MQA dac vs a non-MQA hires file via a non-MQA dac has been touched on somewhere else.....Does an MQA file played through a supposed high end MQA dac like Merdian's Ultradac or 808v6 player sound better than a non-MQA h... | |
| Aurender N100H or Auralic Aries? My apologies for getting the MQA part wrong as pointed out to me in another forum.As for the sound degradation, there is really nothing wrong with my unit. I won't send it back for anything. It sounds really, really, really gorgeous once I roll ba... | |
| 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. :) |
