| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @chauncey I would suggest that you get a streamer/server/dac with I2S and or USB, otherwise you'll have to convert DSD files to DOP. Another item that is essential is a 10MHz master clock so look for equipment with a 10MHz clock input. My setup ... | |
| Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird @chauncey SR recommends that you go up to the next highest fuse so you should get a 12.5A slow blow. However I’d check with D’Agostino first. @kennyc Yes, spending about $50k for two pairs of ICs and a set of SCs is asking a bit much. My AQ deale... | |
| Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird @kennyc The Dragon ICs and speaker cables are out of my budget at this time but a 1M used Dragon PC is quite reasonable and AQ will verify for free. The Dragon PCs are solid silver which is very highly polished. Yes, you are right a quality PC on... | |
| Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song? I can tell you why the OP watches FOX because it's the only news network that has even mentioned the FBI revealing the 1023 document to the House Oversight Committee, which proves that Biden and Hunter each received $5M EACH from Ukraine. https:/... | |
| Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song? If you're watching The Five....you don't deserve to know the name of the song ! Yeah, better watch "The View". | |
| Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird @chauncey If your budget will stretch to using Dragons on all your major components, I would certainly recommend that you do so. I have, besides my power amp, I have Dragons on my pre-amp and server/streamer. Getting a Dragon for my DAC next but... | |
| Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird The Hurricane is the sweet spot in Audioquest's lineup. I was advised directly by a dealer that the Firebird is an incremental increase but not worth the money. The Dragon is a different story, though. Yes, the Dragon is a very different story.... | |

| Ripping CD's to SSD? @fthompson251 You only need ethernet for your Aurender to function. You connect to your Aurender using WIFI so you need your Aurender’s MAC address, can’t help you there I only use Windows. It’s important to connect using WIFI so you can re-name... | |
| Ripping CD's to SSD? There are two ways to do this but firstly you need to rip your CDs to your computer using DB Poweramp or Exact Audio Copy. Then copy those files to a clean USB stick and stick it into your Aurender. Then go into your Conductor app and select Lib... | |
| Question re: Aurender N20 Server, Qobuz album takes 10-15 seconds to start playing You could open a trial account with Tidal or Spotify and if these show the same problems it's most likely something to do with your internet connection. | |
| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) @milpai Much of the general chatter about DACs is based on the Emperor's New Clothes. Virtually every DAC out there is made as either an ESS 9038 Pro based DAC or a R2R Ladder DAC. There was a very interesting discussion on WBF a little while ba... | |
| HDCD vs the Newer SHM-CD, BluSpec, UHQCD, etc @mahler123 What I was trying to explain is that HDCDs are 20bit but you can't rip them in 20bit, only 16bit. Blu Spec CDs have smaller, more precise lands and grooves which allow them to sound a little better when played on a CDP but when ripped ... | |
