| Aurender @ronboco If you would like to bypass external preamp and prefer a one box streamer/DAC with OCXO clocks then you need to step up to Aurender A20. While TCXO clock is quite good in lower end models like A200, A15, OCXO clock performance and preci... | |
| Aurender @bikeboy52 The audio shop you’re referencing, is it owned by Myron Hawthorne? | |
| Aurender @navyachts Nothing like trying and vetting devices like DDC in your system. But with N200, you may not hear any difference vs going direct. Just ask @soix what streamer being used before DDC. | |
| Aurender A streamer like N200 now or later will set you up good for a long while. How long it will be before you would look to upgrade your DAC? You may get N150 now and save towards DAC but very likely once you have your DAC squared away; you will be itch... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing David @wharfy I hear you on remastering. “Kind of Blue” is one my favorite recording. I used to own atleast 5 or 6 copies on CD’s but my search ended when I purchased 2011 release on K2HD. Granted, I haven’t heard every digital version but K2HD ... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy The sound quality from TIDAL/Aurender is very, very good. But, CDs played through a terrific transport/DAC combination always sounds better. Saying CD’s always sounds better is bit of a reach. This may very well be your experience wi... | |
| TV size for Sonos arc @fastfreight Correct! 4” from top of ARC bar to bottom edge of TV. I am still using SONOS Sub Version 1 (10 years old) with new ARC bar wirelessly. As I recall, the latest version 2 subs adds the flexibility of two subs 😊 To my knowledge, you c... | |
| TV size for Sonos arc You should be fine with 85” TV with ARC Bar. I am using one with a 78” TV. Please ensure atleast 4” vertical gap with TV and Sonos bar. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Yes, in a system with AQUA Formula xHD. Goes without saying, the synergy between them were the key that got me toe-tapping. Since then, it has been on my list to consider, if I were ever go down that path. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy If you can swing it, also consider AQUA La Diva. Maybe you can find a used bargain for around $4500. I am inviting @thyname to share his thoughts on CDT3 MKIII. He’s got a fabulous system that does full justice to a player like CDT3. | |
| Time To Upgrade My Digital Front End @navyachts With your preference for Roon, consider Innuos or Lumin. Aurender is coming out with Roon certification soon. Having heard both Roon and Conductor side by side, I still prefer Conductor app SQ by a mile, just my .02 cents. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing +1, @twoleftears Teac is a solid recommendation @wharfy Also look at Shanling Transport along with Jay’s and CEC (both great choices). https://en.shanling.com/article-IntroET3.html | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? Congratulations! Get to work and put it together. Allow some break-in time and enjoy. You will know in due time where to make necessary tweaks or changes. One thing you didn’t mention, do you have a dedicated listening room and what is the potent... | |
| Call your Qobuz Representative to Request DSD @tonydennison Thanks for sharing your impressions. I can’t speak to “Chet" 128 DSD quality since I don’t own this title. If you only find one title worth trying then it’s not a place for you. On a separate note, check out following titles from... | |
| Probable PayPal Claim @marco1 That’s ok. The only reason I asked cause if we know the problem, we could possibly offer alternate solution; maybe it’s an easy fix. I been through the dispute process and it’s not fun. Good luck! |
