| Cardas Clear XLR interconnects I've purchased single cables from The Cable Company for the center channel speaker in my home theatre. I suspect most dealers offer this option. The cost is half of that for a pair. You are effectively buying two single cables, albeit different... | |
| 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... |
