| Clock vs Streamer advice @audphile1 thank you for the input. I may wait and save a bit more for the N200. I have been pretty concerned about spending the $1500 when I can't demo it. And I was not very smart with my demo. The N1Z only has USB, and the N200 dealer let me bo... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @lalitk haha, my brain may have fatigued because I’m not used to such attention to detail I will admit that I was listening with some bias. The used N1Z is the cheaper option. I was really hoping that I would prefer the N1Z to save some money, so... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice Hey, sorry I haven’t responded in a bit. I spent the weekend with the N200 and N1Z. Both were great. The N200 beat out the N1Z on certain albums, but I strangely found it more fatiguing for long sessions. I did look into the network upgrade f... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice Actually, some are affordable for me. I was on a different site where they were more expensive, but the k21 looks to be $7k | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice I'm sure I'd have some love for Antipodes if even their cheapest streamer/server was at my price point | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @audphile1 not a real source I guess. I called Goodwins Audio in Massachusetts and am doing a demo with their N200. I believe he used the word "soon" when referring to Aurender and Roon. I am not sure if he knows more or less than anyone else. | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice I guess Aurender is close to being Roon compatible. I just called 2 different shops, and this weekend I'll be doing an a/b test with an Aurender N200 and the Melco. | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice Ya, I'm not a huge fan of the Aurender app. It's organization was good, but the connectivity could be a hassle. I'm currently using Roon, and I like it, but it's not a deal breaker for me whether or not I use it. | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @blisshifi thank you so much for the informative reply. I will try to demo the N200. | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice Awesome, thank you for the advice. | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice Thanks for the advice, so you are suggesting a better streamer will outweigh a computer->clock->dac? | |
| Nordost reference jumpers vs second set of cables I ordered a cable for $700, so not too bad. When I did the test, I played Glen Gould, Bach: the Goldberg Variations. He hums when he plays. Using the stock jumpers, I could hear it, but the separation sucked. When I used both speaker cables, the t... | |
| Nordost reference jumpers vs second set of cables Thanks for the suggestions. I did order the zavfino to try them out. They have pretty good reviews for their price point. I'm hopefully going to trade in my old amps for new power cords for the BHK's. And my room treatment is pretty good already. ... | |
| Nordost reference jumpers vs second set of cables Thanks for the suggestion, I may try them out! Your system looks awesome in your pics. | |
| PS audio m1200 Interesting. I have the ref 6 and don't have that problem. Good luck and I hope you can figure it out |
