| Aurender N200 I believe it’s the DAC and not the Aurender. I reached out to my dealer and they believe there is an update that needs to be done on my DAC He is going to investigate and get back to me. It sounds great through either DAC It was nice b... | |
| Aurender N200 Hi Juan I tried setting the delay and no change. There is digital noise and the unlock light glows dim and the sample freq lights flicker. Only works via lower sample rates. Three known good coax , including new d-750. Tried the Vault in... | |
| Aurender N200 It definitely sounds better , frustrating that it won't work via Coax out. That is how I wanted to use it with this DAC. Works fine with Vault with same cable , works fine with RME . Tried new cable, known good cable. Only loses lock abov... | |
| Aurender N200 It sounds great , just getting used to the different layout compared to Bluesound. It will not achieve digital lock with my Lab 12 via coax on anything 88.kHz or above. Noise and dropouts, Works flawlessly via USB , not sure why. Seems to... | |
| Aurender N200 Missed Fed Ex today.... usually they come a day late at 7pm..... My daughter is going to hang out here tomorrow to receive the N200. She's such a great kid. She works nights so that's pretty solid of her to do that. 50/50 Chance I'm g... | |
| DAC suggestions Personally I would wait until you get the other two items you mentioned . Making more than one change at a time can steer you down the wrong path and leave you disappointed. | |
| Streamer? Aurender's "caching streaming" ? how important is this feature? I will definitely post my opinion, however my system is a bit hobbled since selling my preamp and putting my old trusty SFL-1 back in the chain. I am a few months away from receiving my new preamp I’m having built. Either way I should hear ... | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? ghdprentice, Your advice is always "sound". There is no cheap way to good sound, no matter what your budget is. Forty plus years into my HiFi journey I am finally able to afford some better gear. I try to put those $$$ into well planned up... | |
| Tube Recommendations Please Many of the "NOS" that are sold are pulls. Be careful who you buy them from. With ARC gear I would probably buy them from ARC. Gold Lion 6922 are great when you get quiet ones. As others have said , Brent Jessee is a trusted source. Tube M... | |
| Streamer? Aurender's "caching streaming" ? how important is this feature? I am expecting the Aurender N200 tomorrow or Thursday and part of the reason I went with it was it's playback from memory. It makes sense to play streaming media back that way. | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room Find another dealer close by , listen to different brands. You are spending a lot of $$$ , poor choices are costly. Listen to a few different speakers and systems and put 2 subs in the budget to compensate for the room size. It's OK to buy b... | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? I've said many times the Vault is good but I have my amplification sorted out , along with a recent DAC purchase. That said , it's time for something next level for my system. The modern day "Transport" is a streamer ..... | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? I see the DAC as the hub of a great digital system. I have had a DAC long before they were in fashion. Obviously the DAC's quality is of great importance, but what feeds the DAC is equally important. I really like my current DAC but in the ... | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? I would argue that if you mostly stream , the streamer’s quality is just as important as the DAC. It’s a “Transport “ in the sense that an optical drive is. It’s job is tougher than a transport because it has other issues aside from error corre... | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? Yes , I believe a great DAC needs an equally good digital front end. I just ordered a streamer to go with my DAC. The Vault sounds good but I question the quality of its coax digital out. I will find out Thursday if this line of thinking is c... |
