Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
@mdalton  All the pieces in place except the cart. Still contemplating my options on carts. Here is my Analog chain looking at this point,  Garrard 301 ➡️ Reed 3P ➡️ Fuuga (loaner) ➡️ Allnic H-6500 / Konus Audio / AD-50 phono board ➡️ Accuphase ...

+1, @mclinnguy for “sacrifice that 2-3% just for the better UI”.  @audphile1 As you know, the devil is in the details a.k.a implementation. I am using a Merging +player, which is a turnkey solution for ROON. The render + core is neatly implemente...

@audphile1 I would not recommend Merging DAC with N200 or any streamer with USB/SPDIF output. Merging strengths lies with using its proprietary Ethernet (Ravenna) protocol. In that scenario, you stream from a ROON server directly into Merging DA...

@mervo Thank you for sharing your experience with NC’s SUT. One question, did you receive any consultation from Ned prior to ordering the SUT. How was your buying experience with Ned...I noticed buying options are available through ebay only.

@herman  I did opt for 1st stage Transformer Upgrade to Pure Silver Winding. So I will get a taste of Silver characteristics with H-6500 phono.

@rvpiano  I own Merging +player (Roon player + DAC) along with +power and +clock. Both +power and +clock are optional module and further enhances the performance of DAC by itself. Earlier this year, Merging bow out of consumer electronics and foc...

“what is the step up ratio on the EMIA SUT ? ” @herman  The EMIA SUT has a step up ratio of 1:20 and designed specifically to mate with Fuuga. No additional loading plugs needed as per Dave. One other setup I forgot to mention in my last post,  ...

@mulveling  LOL! I’ve come to admire and respect members like you and many others over the years. The combined wealth of knowledge and experience between some of you is simply off the charts. This is my second attempt at analog, so I am hoping to...

“  I believe the USB is very slightly more appealing, so I use it.” @rvpiano  Glad to hear, you’re enjoying N200. Keep in mind, N200 is designed and optimized to take advantage of USB implementation in a DAC of your choice. I know you love your c...
