My New Year’s Wish for my fellow audiophiles. @2psyop Nice post! Here’s to more balanced life and healthy New Year! | |
Aurender or Lumin streamer only? Between the two brand, I will pick Aurender. The Conductor app, sound/build quality and tech support favors Aurender. For USB only use, go with N200 and use a high quality USB cable and PC with N200. Consider N20 only if you plan to upgrade yo... | |
Aurender N150 vs N200 @jastralfu TMR sold one in black about 10 days ago. Setup an alert in HiFi Shark and grab the next one shows up in black. | |
Aurender N150 vs N200 @saulh Grab this bargain! https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=aurender+n200 | |
Aurender N150 vs N200 I agree with @audphile1. If you get N200 now, you should look into upgrading your DAC down the road. If you get N150 now, it will likely commensurate well with your Pontus II. Is N150 good enough for your first streamer, the answer is YES! | |
Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 I have not compared AQ with Kimber. | |

Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Congratulations! | |
Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @jji666 We are here to share our experiences and simply suggesting to learn or form your opinion by experimenting. The idea is simply to try, you may or may not like result, and that's perfectly fine. This is a hobby not some scientific project ... | |
Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ “I found, with several streamers, swapping Ethernet cables while the unit is on results in sound degradation.” @audphile1 That’s interesting, certainly not my experience with LAN cables swapping. I should attribute this to the fabulous cache fea... | |
Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @mathiasmingus Apologies, I did not intend to doubt your capabilities, methodology or focus. It was more like a cautionary advice drawn from my own mistakes and experiences 😊 | |
Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @mathiasmingus Thanks for the update. IME, ROON implementation is one of the main reason why end user would experience inconsistency in SQ. Every manufacturer or designer doing their best to integrate ROON and tweak their hardware for best possi... |
