| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k Ok, for those who advocate for a separate DAC-like Denafrips terminator2 or Weiss 501…. Could this play & pair nicely with a lower price (older?) Aurender streamer? | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k That’s great you have the 150B and are happy. Did you ever compare how it sounded sonically against other (more expensive) streamer DACs? | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k I guess im just wondering if an entry level Aurender 200 is the Best Buy at $6300, or should I spend a little more and get something that wows. Or spend less (HiFi rose or other) and basically achieve the same. | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k Thanks everyone! My system is comprised of: -Rogue dragoN power amp -ModWright LS100 pre -Chapman T-7 loudspeakers (upgraded & modded) Shunyata & AQ power cords & interconnects. It’s hard to say what I’d like to hear more of/what... | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k @ yowser yes Cary has been recommended to me, but that dealer did not have a unit for me to audition. Then I started reading reviews, & from what I interpreted/synthesized, the other brands I mentioned got more praise. It’s hard to decide ... | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k @newwater this is exactly the premise I’m operating from as well. Aurender gets a lot of praise in no small part bc of their app/interface. I put a premium on sound. Lumin? | |

| Help me find a pre-amp Here is what I think about the LS100 now that I’m running it with the NOS Mullard & Sophia Electric blue tubes: 1)Resolution is stupid good as is soundstage..very 3D 2)Female vocals like Fiona Apple, Jennifer Warnes & Nora Jones are jus... | |
| Cary DMS 700 vs Aurender A300 Thank you everyone. I was leaning Aurender, but you’ve helped me decide on the Aurender. Financing is not part of the equation thankfully. | |
| Help me find a pre-amp So I pulled the trigger and got an LS100 for $2k on here. The combo of good reviews, low price and aesthetics got me. I ordered some Sophia Elec blue glass 6SN7 tubes and a NOS Mullard 5AR4 rectifier. Should be sonically excellent for for the M... | |
| Help me find a pre-amp BTW, I’ve kind of dismissed Cary bc -rightly or wrongly, I assume a lot of my $$ would be going into phono stage related build. I’ll never see ROI from that. | |
| Help me find a pre-amp Well Snowdog, we have these people in common. I bought nearly all of my gear from John & I pop in to see him when I’m up in SEA. Stuart picked up my T7s from SoCal and upgraded them in his workshop. So you understand these are unique loudsp... | |
| Help me find a pre-amp Vthokie, that is great list of candidates. Curious if you have auditioned all of them and what are the other main components in your system that you’re pairing with? | |
| Help me find a pre-amp My bad:McIntosh 312 I Truly appreciate everyone’s input here. Backert looks like another interesting one! Keep em coming | |
| Help me find a pre-amp Why not Mc pre? No reason other than my initial thought was some thing more exotic might be better. I’ll give it an audition however. Thanks |
