| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference but spending alot of money on a power cord for an expensive streamer is nuts, imho, just pissing money away. There it is. Should have said that to begin with. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference The power cord is a component of your stereo system. If you are going to skimp on that, why bother? I put a power cord on my LPS of my old music server that was twice as expensive as the LPS. Made an improvement in the sound. Actually, the new... | |
| Ribbon cable inside amplifiers If you look at the inside of any piece of audiophile electronics it will not have the same kind of expensive wiring most people use for AC cables or speaker cables. Why? Not so with Pass Labs or Audio Research Gear. My Pass Labs X350 Amp that I ... | |
| Suggestios for Atlanta area brick and mortar Evolution Home Theater which is close by Hifi Buys. I haven’t visited that store. Hifi Buys is a large store- especially for high end audio/video. They offer a wide cross section of audio gear from portable to top end speakers and electronics. ... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Thank you. I debated going with separates (k21/K41) and even staggering the purchases. But by the time I add in an extra power cord and an extra Ethernet Cable to connect the two boxes together, it was only a few hundred more for the K50. And the ... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference I received the Antipodes K50 yesterday. It got delayed due to the bad weather. Set-up was a breeze using their dashboard layout. Since it has separate processors I can use Roon on the server and Squeeze for the player. That lets me use the Roo... | |
| Suggestios for Atlanta area brick and mortar Hifi Buys is my favorite destination. The Italian restaurant across the street is really good too. Another hifi store (now the Wilson Audio dealer) is nearby but I have not visited it. | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ So if I hear a tree fall while walking in the woods, should I assume that a tree really did not fall because 1) I did not see the tree falling and 2) I expected to hear a tree fall while in the woods and so therefore I heard one fall. There is a ... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ That's just it- it is not 1's and 0's coming into your modem. It is a high frequency carrier wave that is frequency modulated. On top of that wires are antennas so additional noise is picked up by these cables along the way. That modulated sign... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference I began streaming two and a half years ago. One of the things I notice about listening to digital is that the digital glare or edgy highs always forced me to turn down the volume. Now I’m not talking about listening levels that drives everyone out... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Hello mclinnguy, I picked the K50 for its high level USB output as well as having multiple player and server app options. The Antipodes allows the use of Roon, Squeeze, HDplayer (with subscription) and a couple of others. I also see the logic i... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference This discussion is interesting for me at the moment because I just ordered me the Antipodes K50 music server/player after much research and deliberation- and much discussion with my wife. I am resolved to use the 30 day trial period to my full ben... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Audio is a fun hobby for both listening and enjoying music with the thrill of connecting to the music but also for the exploration and experimentation of the equipment. I started out decades ago with modest gear making upgrades and modifications ... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ Thanks again. I don’t even know what I don’t know with regards to high end streamers. I read the Aurrender manuals and am a little intimidated by their software- well really just the idea of learning a new operating system. I also wonder how m... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ Thank you. I'd say that streaming hi res is better than CD. Local Hi res files have even a bit more body to the images. My vinyl rig is most excellent but this new DAC gives it a run for its money. Sound stage size and imaging are close to ide... |
