| Why not? @soix There are doer’s and bystander’s…this thread yet again shown us the clear distinction between the two types :-) | |
| Aurender N200 @dinov No hard sell from me on Aurender. You buy what works best for you, it’s as simple as that. I don’t contaminant my music files with any other type of files. There is a reason I chose to rely on Aurender for 10 plus years. For me, I do not... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... “Do you have any particular LPS's in mind to recommend that can power the Stream and DAC?” @jabbaman I have used iFi and JCAT LPS. The are so many other brands, I suggest that you start a new thread on LPS recommendations if you prefer not to w... | |
| Aurender N200 “The problem I feel with Aurender is again being locked into a proprietary system that’s not nas friendly.” @dinov I don’t know why anyone still consider external NAS when you have the flexibility of onboard storage? Aurender is built around the... | |
| Aurender N200 @oddiofyl Congratulations on your N200 purchase. Just make sure your Ethernet is robust and you will be rewarded with amazing SQ out of N200. | |
| Theoretical battery power supply question @carlsbad Speaking of ‘pure sine wave’ ; I once looked at Isotek system. I was fascinating by their whole system holistic approach, the estimated cost was $14K to treat 5 components. In their ultimate approach, each component is fed by its own s... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @jabbaman Welcome back to the pursuit of great audio. IMO, you have a decent streaming setup with iFI Zen combo. My question is what is your time line in terms of upgrading the streamer and DAC? If you planning to keep the Zen combo for a while,... | |
| Why not? @roxy54, I will sell all of my 5 - $5K powercords and buy the badass StormTank S5000 🤣 https://www.paragonsns.com/products/stromtank-s-5000 | |
| Why not? “My Ampzilla amps come with a custom power cord that the manufacturer thinks is the perfect match. It’s hardwired into the amplifier.” That’s one way to end the debate on fancy aftermarket power cords. Let’s bring back electronics with captive po... | |
| Theoretical battery power supply question @soix I don’t believe in these battery power toys (sorry). Alternatively, I suggest that you read up on isolation transformer based power distributors. I am using one that powers my entire system including my integrated. Stable power and zero co... | |
| Why not? “our hobby occasionally is criticized for being elitist and snobby and that is also something worth thinking about.” @bruce19 I had a feeling that you would misconstrued my response. I wasn’t trying to show off but make a subtle point to pick ge... | |
| Why not? “I hope you feel as I do that manufacturers who are affirmatively addressing this issue deserve your attention.” I completely disagree with ‘deserve your attention’ notion. When I am shopping for electronics, I am considering its features, design... | |
| Aurender N20 vs N200 with a Berkeley Reference DAC 3 and Berkeley USB Interface Box Berkeley DAC’s are designed and optimized for AES/ SPDIF digital interface. So I would feed this DAC with a streamer that is just as meticulously designed to complement your DAC i.e. N20. I used to own N20 :-) | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! “spending $30k+ on a DAC that could be matched or surpassed in performance in 5 years by a $2000 DAC” @soix That’s $500 a month of pure joy over the next 5 years, hell I’ll jump all over that than freakin wait 5 years for that $2K DAC. Those wh... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! A brief synopsis of one man’s opinion, nothing more nothing less. The two notables DAC’s missing from his review are Merging Technologies + player and Abendrot’s Stute & Hengst. |
