Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
@audphile1 It’s been leaps and bounds. The WW Starlight 8 spdif and the Nordost H2 AES were a bad match for the U2 mini and AM DAC 4. The Silver Starlight 8 just plain worked. Then Aurender arrived. Then Tidal. My digital game has finally landed...

I reopened my Tidal account.  Sinead O’Connor has been in my head for a week and I think I may have exorcised her because she was definitely outside my head, in the room, and belting out how nothing compares to me.  Great!  
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
We have imperfect gear, environments, ears and tastes. What gear appeals (subjective) in each circumstance isn’t reliably predicted by numbers generated in a perfect environment (objective) and what gear measures best isn’t reliably predicted by w...

@maholl50 Thanks for the suggestion. This is the first I’ve heard of Eversolo.  Looking at the DMP-A8’s versatility and style, for the money how can I not be impressed?  Well appointed and well presented.  BUT I’m going to defer to the skeptic i...

I just did. Call me crazy but things got relaxed and natural. Unstrained.

@tvad Sure. I reinstalled the V4 app again. I had reinstalled it twice on day one with repeated no connects. Each time it asked for the device address shown in the n200 display. I entered the address and got a message something like "that is not...

@jbuhl Thank you! I added them this early morning, 4am now. It was easy. I’ll have a listen later today. @lalitk Thanks! @audphile1 Thanks! The iPad is a sixth gen. Most likely too old. @tvad Thanks! N200 is up to date. App Store says V...

The n200 became mine yesterday, drop shipped from Korea.  Heavy!  I was stymied after the app and box couldn't find each other, then dropped V4 Conductor and went V3.  Success!  The app is intuitive, no glitches, iPad.  Many 44.1 radio stations an...

It should  arrive today.

@audphile1 I would suspect cables (power, ICs, speaker), DAC or speakers. What cables are you using? Ah, right on the money. In preparation for the arrival of the n200 tomorrow, I received a 2m Wireworld Silver Starlight 8 spdif.  The larger ...

@audphile1  Good to hear the supplied usb cable is decent.  I plan on trying spdif and usb - my preference is musicality over technical superiority.  Extended FR, focus and definition mean nothing to me if it sacrifices foot tapping.  I have and ...
