| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @snopro It’s great to hear how much you’re enjoying your system! Thoughtfully chosen components and PC’s like the TWL Obsession and Takumi can truly contribute to the listening experience. I am currently breaking-in my phono with stock cord. Onc... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @snopro Beautiful system! What PC you’re using on your phonostage? | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @chudysound I own a full loom of HIJIRI Million Series cables. IME, SM2R-L would be an amazing upgrade over Nagomi in your system. Mola Mola is an excellent DAC and the SM will do wonders there. A pair of SM gets you very close to "TAKUMI" Maest... | |
| Phono preamp or SUT for low output moving coil @herman I really appreciate your contributions here. They provide good information on SUT’s designs and careful selection of SUT’s for anyone looking to pursue this route. I believe you’re right, the EMIA’s design with a higher input impedance... | |
| Do you have a perfect digital marriage? “Do you have a perfect digital marriage?” Yes! But I don’t mind courting new components that peaks my interest. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 I hear you…had the same issue with BS Vault. The ACS Manager app is much more robust and gives you many options to pulled down artwork in your choice of resolution. I have over 900 albums on ACS…every single one of them has artwork an... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 Yes. You also have an option to edit any metadata manually from their IOS app called ACS Manager. I really love the functionality and features ACS provides without the intervention of a laptop or desktop. I still buy CD’s that are sou... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Aurender has the best digital Library Management software. No other company I know of that allows metadata editing from an iOS app. I am now using Roon but Aurender ACS 100 is my go to reference for managing /ripping digital content. I am using a ... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @dhite71 Experimenting with streamers in the used market is a smart and practical approach, especially when dealing with high-end gear like the Aurender N20 or W20SE. It’s a great way to explore different sound signatures and features that best ... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Cool. I found analog + PC cables from same brand tends to play well together or should I say, offer better synergy. Digital cables are different animal all together. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 I recommend trying Network Acoustics’s Muon or ENO USB cables. Comes with 30 days return privileges. I’ve owned their ENO USB and it was by far the most natural sounding USB cable under $2K. My 2nd best was Kimber Hybrid USB :-) | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @audphile1 While I respect your opinion and take on Ref 6, I would like to point out an important distinction - you do not have an all out ARC system. At the time, I was running Aurender N10 through DAC9 ➡️ Ref 6 ➡️ GS150 and I could discern no... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @dover Your focus on speed and transparency aligns perfectly with your preference for a balanced and revealing system. It’s great that your approach to tube selection considers the nuances of classic circuit design. That level of detail ensures ... | |
| Check This Out! @grannyring The retail on Merging stack was $45K. They are no longer available as Merging went back to its Pro Audio roots and the original NADAC and Clock pieces are now further enhanced and being available through new parent company called Mas... | |
| Check This Out! @grannyring I completely understand Galle II DAC’s design philosophy extends far beyond mere capacitance into a holistic approach to noise elimination and sound purity. When I auditioned 3 chassis stack of Merging Technologies which included a D... |
