Need recommendations for a streamer
“For the best result, it sounds like I need to figure out a way to hardwire (I think that’s the correct term) the streamer to my modem.” @cowhorn That’s correct. Especially if you’re going to drop $$$$ on a high end streamer like Aries G2. Don’... 
Melco dealers or owners
Did you had a chance to check the manual? Check out page 7 thru 11.       
U.P.S
Sorry to hear about your loss. Just think about it, both FedEx/UPS drivers and their vehicles are not equipped to handle oversize and heavy boxes. And this thing weighs 97lbs. Most manufactures don’t provide adequate packaging to withstand multipl... 
Need recommendations for a streamer
"wi-fi/cloud without a physical wire/connection" Please don’t waste your money on a Aurender or any other high $$$ streamer if you cannot use a wired ethernet connection with a Wi-Fi extender powered by linear power supply. And if you’re not usi... 
Will I see a big difference from my ifi zen blue to a denafrips ares 2
I do not know about seeing but you may hear a difference cause one is chip DAC and other is R-2R. Two totally different topologies, you may prefer how one sounds in your system over the other. If you're serious about upgrading, consider Pontus II,... 
Tekton haters and bashers you just got a new target!
+1, @arafiq ~ well said!   
Which Ethernet filter?
@lollipopguild  Looking forward to your impressions. As I've said in my first post, no two systems are alike!  
Which Ethernet filter?
“best filtering is well implemented optical in my experience” That is not my experience. I found LAN cables to render fuller sound that is closer to analog than the digital sheen experienced with fiber optical kit. Also, the quality of server/str... 
How Important Are System Cable Upgrades and Where to Start?
“I would never do components last… it can negate all the work you just did.” @ghdprentice  I hear you but I hope you’re not suggesting to upgrade components outright without maximizing the potential of existing components?    
Roon Core Server Player
@dougthebiker  Congratulations on finding next level improvement with your existing setup. I believe adding a Linear Power Supply to your NUC should further enhance its performance. It will be a interesting comparison between your new server/stre... 
How Important Are System Cable Upgrades and Where to Start?
Looking at your list, I would start in this order; good luck! 1. Power Source conditioning &/or dedicated circuit 2. Room Treatment: Room selection/ Audio furniture (vinyl playback)/ Equipment placement /absorbers/diffusers 3. Cables with e... 
Which Ethernet filter?
@lollipopguild I used to own a combination of iSO-CAT6 and dCBL-CAT7 and enjoyed the ultra detailed and fuller sound of the combo with my Aurender N10. While I didn’t directly compare ENO filter with aforementioned combo, I preferred the relaxed... 
Streamer creates a Wow experience
@lordmelton Thanks for your post. I just want to reiterate, the use of external clock with N20, N30 or W20 requires a well thought out holistic approach and a commitment for SOTA digital streaming. Attaching a 10mhz master clock to a streamer is... 
What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”?
@mikelavigne  Appreciate your confirmation, I don’t doubt at all that Etsuro Gold would be a wonderful addition to my analog rig. Thank you for sharing your early thoughts on DaVa Reference, something to consider down the road :-)  
Streamer creates a Wow experience
“Aurender’s ecosystems are sonically quite impressive given the coupling between the hardware and software.” +1, ​​​​@blisshifi @sbank I understand if you prefer Roon but its not the best software for sound quality. I am not here to bash ROON ...
