| Aurender N20 or A15 The N200 is a great unit. Even though its worthy of more I'm sure it will sound fine with the Mac DAC. Plus I don't think you could have found a better reason to spend even more money, lol. | |
| Aurender N20 or A15 Not that familiar with the DAC your using but as mentioned before the N150 is probably all you need. I have both the N150 and N200. Used with a less resolving DAC I'm not hearing much difference between the 150 and 200. | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? Heard back already. All is good. Nice improvement. Noticing blacker background and firmer bass. I used the PD power supply modification on another Node a while ago. Aesthetics of the LHY and the way the Node back panel is closed off is a defi... | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? Careful on this one LHY Bluesound PSU Kit. Just recieved mine and the jumper that fits between the Node mother board and new ps board is not long enough to make a connection. Already emailed them and waiting on a reply. | |
| Headphone amps For a little less than the price range you're looking in check the Headamp GS-X mini. Auditioned the Pass and Benchmark but liked the Headamp more so bought one :-). Check out what's being said on Headfi about the Headamp. Also don't shoot the ... | |
| New streamer? N150 vs U2 I tried the Carbon coax and liked Cardas more. But then I'm a Cardas guy :-) i've used Nordost as well but didn't care for it. Pretty much the opposite of Cardas. | |
| New streamer? N150 vs U2 @txp1. Congrats I think you'll be very happy. The 150 is at my vacation house so I'm doing this from memory but you'll use the vertical USB port. The other USB ports are for data (outside drives, etc.) My initial suggestion after the unit break... | |
| Totem Mani - 2 Signatures vs. Original Mani - 2 If you have the boxes I'll give you 60 bucks for them. Can't beat that deal, 100% markup lol. | |
| New streamer? N150 vs U2 I own the N150 and Node w/PD upgrade. No experience with Lumin. Don't currently own but have had the Qutest. No question the N150 is an upgrade from the modified Node. Will you hear too much difference with the Qutest. I didn't. IMO you mon... | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? Tried the DacMagic when it first came out to use with headphones. SQ was ok for the money. Lots of features as well. But ended up returning it and buying an Ares II and separate HP amp. The Ares II is a far better DAC and imo one of the better ... | |
| Best Power Cable Component Hierarchy Short version of above - it depends. Which is my experience as well. | |
| Another cable question Yes sound sigs of both are the same. I have the N200 in another system:-). I'd start with the Cardas Clear HS USB, or digital spdif depending on how you've connected the N200 to the Pontus. Also, if you do, give it a solid week or so to settle ... | |
| Another cable question I have the N150 and Pontus II. I think what you maybe looking for is a little more warmth and smoothness. At least that was one area I had to work on in my setup when comparing digital play back to records. I'm using Cardas Clear interconnects ... | |
| I love my analysis plus but... This guys a joke. Just goes to show anyone can sell cables or critique them? What's new. Sorry I wasted 5 minutes watching. | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. I upgraded my TP modified Node to the Aurender N150 (one step down from the N200 that I also own) into my Pontus II. Teddy Pardo is a nice improvement to the Node but the Aurender eats it for lunch. Haven't tried the N200 with the Pontus yet, bu... |
