| Snake oil of the year? Nope. Snake oil of the century is 6 feet of mains cable costing $5k that does nothing that a 20amp stock cable can’t do. I refuse to pay more than $4K for a power cable. | |
| Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog @lordmelton I am within my 60 days at Music Direct, so will return Delta NR power cable. I’ll look for used Sigma v2 NR cable. | |
| Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog @lordmelton I have the same analog cables from DAC to preamp and phono preamp to preamp, but I have higher quality power cables on all components, but only Audioquest Delta NR on Aurender. | |
| Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog @soix Yes, good plan. but I will first upgrade USB since that is what is working best at this point. @lordmelton Is there an advantage to an external clock when the Aurender already has a quality clock and the May hasn’t any clock input? Is S... | |
| Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog @blisshifi At 100 hours. Agree, too soon. Also, pretty sure USB and AES/EBU cables can be improved upon. Lastly, have Shunyata Sigma and Alpha NR cables on other components, but Delta on Aurender. Shunyata just had a huge price increase on t... | |
| Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog @ghdprentice Trial and error seems to be an expensive hobby. Juan @blisshifi texted the same suggestion. | |
| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 @lalitk suggested DAC first. I would suggest that you form a core group of members that you can trust. Go back and review lalitk’s post in other threads and you will find responses based upon a long history of listening to top gear. There are othe... | |
| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 Last Friday I went from an iFi Zen Stream with upgraded power supply and fiber network adapters/NUC 10th gen i7 Roon Core to an N20 and it wasn’t a subtle upgrade. I believe that it will improve after AES/EBU cable burns in and if when I upgrade c... | |
| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles @soix We disagree, but I appreciate the discussion and suspect that I’m the odd duck out. Enjoy your weekend as well as everyone here. Back to the music. | |
| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles @soix Why must you know? Many products are recycled. Every time you buy a car, you buy recycled. A manufacturer can and some do use recycle symbols on products. | |
| Aurender N20 @dougthebiker It really is amazing how threatened many people feel in an environment of diverse opinions. | |
| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles @soix Nothing wrong with them doing this. I have issues with corporations and in some cases individuals promoting their degree of righteousness. Regarding climate, this has taken on the appearance of a secular religion and the mass suppression o... | |
| Aurender N20 It seems that Conductor displays more on the larger iPad vs iPhone. I was using an old Fire HD with Roon and it worked great, but didn’t see Aurender in AP store. Also, didn’t see Conductor in AP store for my MacBook Pro. | |
| Aurender N20 I tried to join audioscience review in order to post on the N20 thread, but my membership was rejected. I’m guessing that I couldn’t convince Elon to buy audiosciencereview.com... no, probably not. I was going to suggest that the best way to get ... | |
| Aurender N20 I read a thread on audiosciencereview.com, while researching the N20, where someone was looking for a way to duplicate the N20 for much less money. It turns out, all you need is a Raspberry Pi, Synology NAS and Roon. Damn, I have both a Synology... |
