| Aurender @pokey77 Thanks for the info. Roon can exhibit functional issues due to seemingly minor network issues. For example, don't use a smart switch unless you know what you are doing. Perhaps, some Conductor users suffer the same fate. Roon musica... | |
| Intona filter shortest USB connection Yup..see above...but according to Tim Connor at Kitsuni Hifi the premium is what he suggest for audio. The reference improvement is very small. | |
| Aurender Ted Smith, the PS Audio engineer/designer/educator cleared up my I2s misconceptions. Paul has promoted I2s as being superior because of the shared clock..at least this was my interpretation of what he said. Ted explained that USB and I2s are pro... | |
| Aurender Is finding your system,"completely satisfying", the real endpoint regardless of what others prefer? Makes sense to me. Not to co-op my own thread, but many of you seem to be quite knowledgeable. The I2s standard does not address implementation e... | |
| Aurender Just to make sure that I understand the terminology used. When purchasing a high end Aurender with a high quality clock, does this singly describe the stability of the clock, or are there other factors that contribute to the "high quality"? | |
| Aurender @blisshifi As usual, your contribution is on point, but personally, I have a few stops along the way prior to deciding to spend enough to buy an upper level Aurinder with the better clock. Additionally, I question if my DAC is of sufficient qual... | |
| Aurender @bigkidz I bookmarked your website. Holo is sending me a new DAC. I’m guessing that production is a challenge. You seem to have a wide array of products. I bet your R-2R Tube DAC sounds quite musical. | |
| Aurender @lalitk Sounds like a good plan. | |
| Aurender I think I got the impression that Aurender USB was not the best output from a @ghdprentice listening comparison of dual AES vs USB. Perhaps faulty memory here. I now understand the dual AES requires a serious financial investment, so it had better... | |
| Aurender guys aurender can’t run Roon their cpus aren’t powerful enough hence conductor OK..but doesn’t your product line want me to buy a Teac drive and internal SSD storage? I might like your triple power supply, CPU and upgraded usb interface, but I ... | |
| Aurender Can the Holo be repaired? The unit failed within the first two hours of use. I asked Tim Conners, US dealer, what to do. He said that they just found out that sub-par parts were used in a few units and they would send a new DAC. | |
| Aurender I wasn’t aware of varying I2s standards, only differing I2s pinouts. With AES DSD must be trancoded to PCM and John Atkinson noted that with the N10 the highest bandwidth was "24-bit PCM stream sampled at 176.4kHz". For those that buy higher ba... | |
| Aurender and why not Roon ready? | |
| Dilemma I'm North of Dallas and no hurricanes, but we do have tornadoes. People are friendly, but the heat means living indoors for months..so you have to decide who/what keeps you company. I'll be selling my old equipment soon. | |
| Turntable suggestions for a shaky wooden floor No carpet I’m afraid it’s all hardwood. Thanks for the input all. What benefit might there be to a large carpet with thick padding? This and a full size sofa were my first room treatment, but they predated the arrival of any of my components, s... |
