New or legacy Sonus Faber decision help
The new SF are amazing. They were playing in another room and I was immediately drawn to them. Then I didn’t want to leave that room. They were the top Olympica and they were awesome. My Dad has had a pair of older SF standmounts and they still so...

Yes, it's strange but hopefully it won't reappear.   It was super annoying,   which was really annoying because it sounds so good.    Gremlins.....  
Does Aurender do Processing on S/PDIF Outputs?
My N200 currently with my present DAC sounds better through SPDIF.   It is a function of the DAC using the Aurender's clock instead of it's own.   With USB the clock within the DAC is used

My Android has been more stable lately.    Aurender added the TD100 to the software,  I'm sure they make running changes also without calling it a new "revision"    I have zero regrets going with Aurender.  Its an awesome machine

Update on problems with signal lock,  I was away for a few days and left the system unplugged.  Returned , powered back up and the problem with signal acquisition was gone.   I really like this DAC, that was a weird and frustrating problem.   Hope...

Like I had mentioned before, streamers are still in their infancy. There are a lot of affordable options out there , but component sized streamers like Aurender , Auralic, Innous, are always going to be above $2500. Every one is controlled by fir...

I just put a 4 TB SSD drive in the N200.   It is amazing what that machine can do.  I turned it on and there was another icon in the menu.  The TD100.  Its a USB trigger for the Aurender to turn on 2 trigger enabled devices .    When I picked the...

It’s not that bad on Android.  I spoke to them last week and they are doing updates to improve stability.    I think some people are not setting permissions and it cuts out.  I set permission to always on on the background and made a few other cha...

As jjss49 said,  there are many good streamers out there. There’s never been a better time to embrace streaming if you have been on the fence    I bought a Bluesound Vault 2i a few years ago and it totally changed the way I listened to music.  I...

I own the N200, with my DAC I think it sounds better with SPDIF.    It sounds good via USB but it's my DAC , not the N200's outputs.   My other back up DAC is a RME and it uses it's internal clock no matter the input type .   So I really can't co... 
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
The new Sonus Faber Elector Amator III is awesome and priced right at your budget , minus stands i think.   Truly a great sounding speaker   
VAC preamps - too expensive?
I have a long history of buying gear I "can't afford" ,   if I had VAC kind of $$$ I would definitely consider them.    I always stretch my budget, I would rather save for a year or two and buy something that is over the top.   Worst thing is buy... 
Tubes, cheese, wine and cognac
I just put a early 50's NOS RCA 12au7 in my preamp and new production tubes just don't have the tone they originals do, they just don't

I have used Roon and really don't need it , the Conductor App is easy and fairly intuitive.   I am not adding another subscription,  I have enough thanks  I demo'd a product a few months ago in a Roon environment and wasn't impressed , and it did...

The Aurender pulls your Playlist from wherever they are, it will pull from local drives or Tidal / Qobuz from what it looks like.
