@oddiofyl What coax cable are you using?
Also, are you switching sample formats often? If so there is a setting to allow to adjust for that and put a few second delay. Doing that sometimes helps to adjust for the switching.
Aurender N200
Hi
I was hoping to get feedback on the Aurender N200. I have a Bluesound Vault 2i that honestly has been great but I am looking for a significant bump up in sound. Will be using with a LAB 12 DAC which accepts USB class 2 output and has coax also. I really like this DAC , although I do have the opportunity to trade up within a year so that's to be seen if I do that. I find myself mostly streaming and want a great sounding stand alone streamer that won't be outclassed if I upgrade the DAC. Any opinions of this unit would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi Juan I tried setting the delay and no change. There is digital noise and the unlock light glows dim and the sample freq lights flicker. Only works via lower sample rates. Three known good coax , including new d-750. Tried the Vault in both coax inputs of DAC works flawlessly Works fine via RME coax input. Problem only exists with N200 via coax to the Lab 12 DAC |
Glad to see you got the D-750 already, and I’m sorry to hear the N200 and your DAC are not playing together nicely. Do you happen to have a toslink cable? I think maybe one was included with the N200. If you try that and it works, then the SPDIF interfaces “should” be fine and it localized it to the coax connection. If Toslink also drops out, then it is a signal that one of the units’ SPDIF interfaces is problematic as a whole. If you haven’t already, check it there are firmware upgrades for both units and also try a hard power down on both for a few minutes. Very odd that the N200 works flawlessly with the RME but not your Lab 12. |
I believe it’s the DAC and not the Aurender. I reached out to my dealer and they believe there is an update that needs to be done on my DAC He is going to investigate and get back to me. It sounds great through either DAC It was nice being able to play content on the Vault through the Aurender. Pretty cool |
