Aurender
Thanks to all that responded in my recent post regarding my digital front end!
Many of you suggested Aurender for a streamer. I have found a demo unit that will eat up the majority of my $5,000 budget not leaving me much money for a new DAC.
I thought it was the DAC that was the most important item in the digital chain.
Any thoughts on this? Thank you!
@bikeboy52 just north of Seattle, so just up the road! Can you share the dealer’s name? How about your bike too? @soix it's a general consensus (over at head-fi) LAN is the best connection on the Gustard, but that's using the DAC as a renderer, which I won't be doing. So, not sure if USB or i2s is the way to go at this point. Although, it sounds like USB is the Aurenders preference for connecting to a DAC. Thanks! |
@navyachts Indeed ,right up the road, quite a beautiful road too if you’ve got the time.I’ll PM you his number, communication is tough over the phone but I think it could be worth it for you. He,s sold me both Aurender and Prima luna. I purchased my Focal Kanto speakers from Hawthorne stereo up in your neck of the woods and they beat everyone by a long shot down here even with shipping.Best ! |
@bikeboy52 very familiar with Hawthorne, quite a few demos there but unfortunately no purchases yet. Great prices and a great spot regardless. Thanks for the CA info as well! |
@lalitk I don’t know who owns the store Lalitk , my dealings were with a few different people,the internet sales manager mostly then the shipping manager. They knocked $2000.00 off the list of the Kantas and picked up the shipping also and this was when the speakers were still relatively new to market. Top notch sales and service. Fun to look at their site,they always have interesting sales and demo items. |
