| Pontus ii and Hi Res Bluetooth? No no no no no. The iPad should be connected to your WiFi (on same network as Node) then the iPad only works as a controller and the audio signal goes directly to the Node. | |
| Pontus ii and Hi Res Do you have a Coax cable you could try instead of optical? Optical SPDIF (Toslink) is not generally considered the best connection choice. | |
| Pontus ii and Hi Res Pretty sure the “MQA to external DAC” option turned “on” means your Node is not performing the first unfold since it expects the external DAC to do everything, and in that case your non-MQA DAC will always see 44.1 kHz. Disable “MQA to external DA... | |
| Silver Speaker Cables Thanks @twoleftears , I missed that area of their website. But 60% still seems awful rich based on the weight of silver required at $20 per ounce. | |
| Silver Speaker Cables Good catch @whistleraudio I bought some of Vogue Audio’s speaker cables and after receiving them, I discovered they are actually stranded copper with silver substance filling the voids between the strands of copper. After I contacted them about ... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @fredrik222 Did you even read the part of my post about the difference between streaming and file transferring? | |

| surrender n200 vs n20 One more point. The combination of Streamer and DAC depends on what connection each is optimized for. I’m using AES from N20 to Tambaqui. | |
| surrender n200 vs n20 Well, it was quite a while ago and I did not have them both in my system at the same time. I did have a Bel Canto e.One Stream at the same time as the N200 and I actually preferred it to the N200, all else equal. (Amazing considering the price... | |
| surrender n200 vs n20 @fthompson251 Oops. Thanks for the correction. | |
| surrender n200 vs n20 @ckr1969 I have owned the N100H, N200, N10, and N20. I decided to keep the N20. I like the N200, but like the N20 better. Not only for the streamer’s sound quality, but also for its versatility for feeding many great DACs. The N200 only has USB ... | |
| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables @charles1dad - I wasn’t intending to knock lower gauge power cables for audio, only intending to reinforce the caution as you already pointed out. Thanks for relating your experience. That’s what these conversations are all about! | |
| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables @charles1dad According to the Lavricables website, about the Grand PC: 10 cores of 5N solid silver wire AWG28 are used for Active line and 10 cores for Neutral in order to transfer AC voltage. This converts to about 18 gauge, which is not ne... | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? I have the M-Scalar and use it with my Hugo TT2. With Chord’s included cables I didn’t really like the M-Scaler, but after adding two BNC Silver Dragon cables I noticed a significant improvement. I was using AQ Cinnamon Coax with BNC adapters each... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 @duketbrd88 I noticed that your amp has “Individual phase setting for each input”, so you might try that to see if it helps. Does your music source have an attenuation you’ve used in the past to equalize your PS Audio DAC to your other sources? |
