@fuzztone I never had the opportunity to play with the Pi’s or with outboard power supplies. I hear they are excellent. I did have a Lumin U1 mini in my rig for a day and I wasn’t convinced that heard that much of a difference to justify $1700…I was about to go with a Teddy Pardo LPS for the Node2i then this Aurender popped up at a great price (used) so I took the dive. I’ve been sitting here for almost 6 hours and I’m still amazed at the level up it brings to the table and I’m using a 13yr old ARC DAC7.
Node2i to Aurender N100SC…WoW!
Just a quick post for Bluesound Node2i owners who are pondering what to upgrading to…let me tell you, The Aurender (N100SC) is a **HUGE** step up from the Node. I was using a Node2i with all the tweaks (Cullen pc, cat8, fat dot feet and Cardas lightning 15 coax) the Aurender is all around jaw droppingly better (no golden ears here either). I’m using a Virtual Dynamics PC and the same coax and CAT8 as before. No regrets whatsoever on the money spent. Amazing.
