Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
@wlutke  Love the outcome and glad to hear you’re happy with your blind buy!  If you’re going to store music, I highly recommend Samsung’s 870 EVO 2TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-77E2T0B/AM) from Amazon.   Tweak away my friend and enjoy ... 
15k for streamer and dac....how much on each?
@mglik  W20SE is the way to go if you can afford it. You can always upgrade the DAC (or not). The W20SE improved upon W20 in terms of treble without any sibilant effects, which was the case with W20.  The SE is also more analog-like overall, wit... 
15k for streamer and dac....how much on each?
@knighttodd As long as you pair LinQ with one of the available AQUA DAC’s via I2S, you will get the best sound from LinQ. I wanted to try LinQ in my system but its lack of USB support, proprietary I2S connectivity and max resolution upto DSD128 ... 
Seek advice on forums but always listen to your own ears!
“I just want to hear audio at its highest level and enjoy the music. ”  …….and promote/sell products that I’ve vested interest 🤣 But I do agree…in our hobby there are no absolutes and we must rely on our ears to buy what sounds best in our uniqu...

@tvad  Would you please share your thoughts on Roon vs Conductor in terms of SQ? What device are you using for Roon Core. Thank you!   
Apple lossless as a source
Try Bluesound Node X for $749. Good stable app and streamer / DAC that offers many options to stream music.  
Ethernet cables
I am still laughing about cars without wheels analogy as it would hamper the functionality of any 🚘 whereas cable manufacturers don’t required to include measurements to sell cables and it will still perform as intended. Some manufacturers do incl... 
Another post about a streamer upgrade
@j_andrews  Thanks for posting your impressions. The streamer quality does matters and most folks here would be open to exploring better sound experience just like you did!  I agree with you on JPLAY app, it’s a really nice app, well laid out an...

@audphile1  delete the V4 app and download it again from App Store. The initial setup should prompt you for option to sign up as beta user. Unless Aurender took that option away, that’s how I recalled to be their beta user for the app.

@elliottbnewcombjr The 2nd arm option is low priority for me. It’s nice to have that option in case I decided to sell the TT down the road. For flexibility, I ordered 3 extra headshells so I can switch out carts on the fly 😊 I am starting out w... 
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
@wlutke That was my experience as well. The magic doesn’t happen until you step up to Tyr2 level in Nordost lineup. Fortunately, at Tyr2 price, there are so many options to consider, I end up going with Audience Au24SE at that point in time.  I...

@wlutke  Congratulations on your N200 purchase. You’re in for a treat!

@blisshifi  Thanks for update on Roon certification. I honestly don’t care for Aurender’s compatibility with Roon. If I did care for Roon, I would have bought Taiko Extreme by now!

@psf4972 I finally got around to checkout your beautiful system. One question on independent arm base, any challenges or advantages you could share would be appreciated. @elliottbnewcombjr  Appreciate your input on feets and dust cover. I am e...
