| Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K? @essrand I can somewhat relate to your predicament as your audio system is very similar to mine. I ran SME 15-AV, Hana Umami Red Cart, alternating between AD50 and E.A.T. E-GLO phono w/external power supply into Accuphase E-650 / Tannoy Canterbu... | |
| USB yet again @j_andrews RE: Iris, let your ears guide you if it yields improvements after Pulse or N150. BTW, Pulse has USB, coaxial, optical and AES/EBU outputs. | |
| USB yet again @j_andrews I’ve heard good things about iFI Zen except the subpar interface and poor customer service. My comments about N100 was in the context of you considering DAC upgrade. The N100 is now 7 plus years old compare to newer, improved Pulse se... | |
| USB yet again @j_andrews A bit of clarification, which streamer you’re currently using and ARES II should have USB input along with SPDIF. You got two reasonably good sounding DAC’s. I am in a camp where both DAC and Streamer quality matters. I am not going ... | |
| USB yet again @vthokie83 Thanks for your kind words. As others have reported, N200 with May or Terminator + DAC would be a formidable pairing and substantial jump in SQ over your existing setup. You’re wise man, I wouldn’t recommend N10 audition either unless... | |
| Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K? If you plan to expand your vinyl collection, then SME 30/12A for 15K is a steal! | |
| USB yet again @vthokie83 I am not disputing what you’re hearing from the inclusion of DDC in your setup. But I believe the effectiveness or need for a device like DDC is largely depends on quality of your source and downstream components. If you use high qual... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @charles1dad Congratulations on your purchase. The 3.2 SE appears to be well executed and I’m certain it will be a worthy companion for your CD player and streamer. Looking forward to your listening impressions. | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @charles1dad This looks like a DAC from AbbasAudio….is this 3.2 Signature version? | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? “Another sticking point is that streaming is dependent on hardware & software that, in my experience, just seems to go bad every so often, often without warning. ” @edcyn You been around here long enough to know consumer grade laptops are no... | |
| Aurender N200 Streamer Compatibility with Deezer HIFI Yes! | |
| Aurender N200 Streamer Compatibility with Deezer HIFI “Sound quality over Airplay will be inferior to "native" streaming via the Conductor app” Agree with @maxwave. That’s why I recommend Qobuz and transfer of OP’s favorites to Qobuz. | |
| Aurender N200 Streamer Compatibility with Deezer HIFI @malatu Nope, Aurender supports integrated access to Qobuz, Tidal and Internet Radio. Plus Spotify Connect and AirPlay supporting devices. I would send an email to support desk and ask if there is way to stream from Deezer. BTW, I just looked u... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? @loomisjohnson I fully understand the concept of diminishing returns, as long as you are happy with your system, nothing else matters. I am going to reiterate what @charles1dad said, Each one of us has their own level set points of performance... | |
| SOtM dCBL-CAT8M - Is this the new reference in LAN cables? @yoby I just received dCBL-CAT8M cable. It seems this cable is bit more flexible than the original dCBL-CAT7. With limited run of Christmas Edition, SOtM absolutely nailed it with exquisite sleeve and semi see-through double filters :-) |
