| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @signaforce , sent you a message. Robert | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line @signaforce I understand this thread is for an Aurender N200 but since you asked, and since the esteemed @blisshifi responded, I will throw my 2 cents in. I just got a Rogue RP-7 preamp. It is very clear and resolving, but I find with the stoc... | |
| Thanks to Juan of @blisshifi for Greatly Improving My Listening Pleasure I would like to add to the plaudits for Juan of Bliss HiFi. I reached out to the Agon community for advice on a streamer and DAC direction, and Juan was one of the people who weighed in. In a separate email conversation, he was generous with his t... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be @sudnh, my cables are a mishmash, which will no doubt offend many. I started low and slow and built from there. Have given The Cable Co much of my hard-earned money and used their lending library, which is great. I have limited patience for A/B... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be Thanks to recent posts, all very interesting. Here are some comments: Space is at a premium for me, both in my equipment rack as well as in the room itself. @jji666, I pace all day waiting for my turn, hoping the wife finishes work early. Hard... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be @panzrwagn, thanks so much for your comments and not bashing my Marantz and Node 😉. I was looking at the Acoustimac website and the array is intriguing. Cheers, Robert | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be Thanks @mm1tt77, for your input. As many others have stated, a dedicated stereo preamp seems a worthy alternative as a one-piece upgrade for 2 channel listening. Alas, @laps, the two room thing is a no-go for me. Everything for home theat... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be @drmuso My room is somewhat L shaped with speakers in the wider part, 3 windows and 2 doors, listening position on the back wall off center, furniture behind each speaker so there isn't much "breathing room" or to optimize bass response. Other ... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be @rick_n Others have also said a better/ external preamp will reap benefits. Curious if this means the addition of this single device (preamp) will make the difference, or is that merely the first step, where I also replace the Node and DAC as w... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be @8th-note As a fellow geezer, and listening to the sage advice and experience offered here, your words ring true. WOW is, as you say, elusive. As a babe in these digital woods, I find it shocking how many streamers and DACs people have gone thro... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be My, my, what have I wrought? I greatly appreciate the comments thus far, it is both illuminating and daunting to consider the options. I took a break from this thread and went through some similar ones last night out here in Audiogon-land, and t... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be Dougsat, there is, in fact, another room, although the layout is far from ideal. It has my original AVR in there with a good set of speakers, running "background" music through Heos. I also have a modest amplifier not currently in use that coul... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be 12many, in the quest for WOW, a separate preamp is fraught with issues, not least of which is where to put it. My equipment "rack" runneth over now, and the sucker just wouldn't fit. Considering space, a separate two channel audio path and a sou... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be YYZ, I looked long and hard at Small Green's products and adopted his fiber philosophy. From my router, I have an FMC with (more or less) the high grade Finisar Small Green sells in his package, a run of fiber cable to another FMC with Finisar an... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be Btw, the SQ differences between Parasound and Emo always seemed to be masked by another change, e.g., cable of some sort, so it was hard to judge. Plus, that darned expectation bias, where I expected the sound to improve when the change was made... |
