New streamer
congratulations on your new digital front end @signaforce Like Linn always stated, even before there was such a thing as digital: "Our first-ever product, the modular and upgradeable Sondek LP12, revolutionised the hi-fi industry by demonstrati... 
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
@mdalton was it not you who earlier stated this:   I would just note that you may have been a little harsh towards the op here.  You just told half of this forum they are pissing their money away. I think the shoe is on the other foot. I am d... 
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
@kdeleon We can state it, you can also read it by browsing all of these audio forums online and reading the thousands of impressions, but this is something you just to have to do yourself to truly understand. I can just copy and paste my own exper... 
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
@kdeleon If a $1000 power cord on a $2000 component makes it sound as good as a $4000 component with its "stock" power cord, doesn't that sound like money well spent?   
Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's?
You're listening to music off of a Mac Mini. Invest in a dedicated streamer, that'll make more of an audible difference than fussing over DACs. ..... Then you can up your DAC game later.  Excellent advice. I'm sure there are thousands of peopl... 
Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!!
+1 @rodman99999 well said. And you sound much better than rodman99.   
Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!!
Or perhaps THEY ARE JUST ANGRY, because they spent money on something in the past and didn't notice any difference? and now are trying their best to put all cable manufacturers out of business?

@ace17 Good post. It has to be opinions, because we can't prove it. Even if we could prove it why would we bother just to satisfy someone else? But the deniers can't prove it doesn't make any difference either. They try by stating something like "... 
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
If you are wondering why I didn’t go for the Oladra for some thousands more, well I’m retired and my wife wants a new floor. A new floor? well I hope she can tell the difference double-blind, 9 times out of 10. Maybe get a 30 day return policy ... 
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
@tonywinga I am resolved to use the 30 day trial period to my full benefit although my dealer is nearly certain I will not be returning it. So the dealer was correct? 😁 congratulations. I read Christiaan’s 9 month old review of the K22/K41 to... 
Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's?
@magnuman that is my sarcastic sense of humour- just trying to make a point. Have a look at my system and note my "inferior to any R2R DAC" ESS DAC.   
Linear Power Supply for a DAC
@lowrider57 I see this is a year old, but anyway there are many who have tried many DC cables on many different world class linear power supplies and state these OCC silver ones are some of the best- I have just their OCC copper one but I haven’t ... 
Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's?
You need to save up for a Wadax. That is the only chip-based DAC that sounds any good, and probably the only one you would prefer over R2R ones . 😉😁 Atlantis
