| Sonnet Audio Morpheus @kray Hi kray, can you give me details on how to do this? Did the cable dealer know what to do or did you need to give specific pin-out details? Or did your Morpheus dealer assist? As you said, and I’ve also read that some people have needed t... | |
| Sonnet Audio Morpheus @kray how did you connect the Iris to the Morpheus? A Phasure cable? I’m also considering the Denafrips Hermes DDC. Do you know if it uses the same pin-outs as the Iris or does it not matter because I‘ve read that you can program the pin config... | |
| Anybody here upgrade from Chord Qutest DAC" @ryder Also if you decide to buy a new power cable or strip, they are the worst for requiring long burn-in times. Best of patience to you! | |
| Anybody here upgrade from Chord Qutest DAC" @ryder I bought the Aurender N150. You’ve identified many of your issues. I’d recommend a good power cable as well as a good power strip. And give it lots of listening time burn-in. I could clearly hear changes to 100 hours and more subtle chang... | |
| Sonnet Audio Morpheus @rja @kray @dalims4 @audioartcable I’m strongly considering the Morpheus as an upgrade DAC. I’d need to also purchase the Denafrips Iris DDC and a Phasure cable to use the very highly touted I2S input because I have an Aurender N150 streamer that... | |
| Will a Chord Hugo 2 make a music streamer addition obsolete? @teh_chucksta You must modify the Node’s power supply input to accept the input from a linear power supply. The whole pwr supply board in the Node must be changed. It’s easy. There are threads on this here in Agon and elsewhere. Also videos online... | |
| Anybody here upgrade from Chord Qutest DAC" @redwoodaudio I’m in the same situation. What did you decide? I very briefly looked at your system but could not quickly recognize the DAC . I’m also considering the M-scaler rather than a different DAC. Thanks! By the way, in the past year I b... | |
| Alan Maher Designs @ivan_nosnibor Thanks for the rapid response! Alan’s QPIs have been great in both my stereo and separate video systems. | |
| Alan Maher Designs @ivan_nosnibor @tjbhuler Hi guys, old thread same topic. Have either of you used the Alan Maher Ambiance Ethernet cable or the Maxwell QPI? I’ve used the older Alan Maher QPI devices, probably over 10 years old, and every time I take them out of... | |
| New streamer? N150 vs U2 @lalitk thanks for the cable recommendation! For future readers: today I discovered that my confusion regarding the Conductor app menu headings was likely influenced adversely by the combination of my iPad display settings, the Conductor app disp... | |
| New streamer? N150 vs U2 The N150 is in-house and on its second day with 10 hours of total listening time. I’ve got one main thing to say— the problem wasn’t my DAC. The Chord Qutest is a fully competent DAC when input by a really good streamer. Wow! I don’t have the N... | |
| New streamer? N150 vs U2 @marco1 Me too! All my analog (RCA) interconnects are Cardas Golden Reference. I moved up the Cardas family line over time but have never changed from Cardas. Phono amp to integrated amp, DAC to integrated amp, another DAC to integrated amp. I’ve... | |
| New streamer? N150 vs U2 @marco1 thanks! I have an AQ Carbon currently on a Mac Mini that I can use. I may change to something else. I heard cable differences using different digital coax cables on the Node 2i. I had a AQ Carbon digital coax and much later bought a Nor... | |
| New streamer? N150 vs U2 Decision made. I pulled the wallet-trigger on an Aurender N150. I’ll investigate DACs and decide whether to upgrade that after I evaluate the N150 on the Chord Qutest DAC. @marco1 did you find that a specific USB output on the N150 sounds best... | |
| New streamer? N150 vs U2 @rockrider thank you for that link! @leorousseau best way for decent higher resolution jazz on BlueSound is to program in a custom URL on TuneIn custom stations using JazzRadio Premium. That way you can get 320k mp3 streams. I use these streams f... |
