Is AES/EBU or SPDIF connection preferred by Aurender N10, N20 owners?


I'm a new owner of a used Aurender N10.  Currently I'm using a Black Cat Silverstar SPDIF/BNC cable to connect between the N10 and my DAC (Audio Aero Capitol Reference).  I'm curious if Aurender N10 or N20 owners have found connecting with AES/EBU digital cables to provide superior sound quality over comparable SPDIF digital cables.

If yes, are there any high value, giant slaying AES/EBU digital cables I should know about?

Thanks... I'll hang up and listen.

No Aurender here, but have chosen AES/EBU over SPDIF and I2S. Lots of research and some advice to reach this conclusion.

Have ordered a reasonably pricey Audience AU24Sx AES/EBU cable. Love their RCA AU24Sx cable so much, have taken a chance on this.

No problem. I am using Transparent. This was one of my last choices… coming from choosing mostly Transparent for the rest of my system. In my system, I was looking for really transparent… say as opposed to a touch warm and that is whst Transparent brings. I also tried Cardas… and I think Nordost… and I don’t remember what else. But I did my research… Transparent was the winner.

That sounds like a well tested recommendation, so that is what I will get. Systems differ, but I have to start somewhere.

Thank you

👍 I agree, you have to start somewhere and this is a very good place to start. I think Transparent have been in my life for 35 years. I bought my first set of Transparent speaker cables about 35 years ago… they sounded terrible. Not because they were terrible but because my largely solid state system with planar speakers was too revealing… very solid state sounding. When I pulled them out of the closet 20 years later and put them in my incredibly better system… they were simply stunning. I realized from the beginning they were fantastic cables… it was just that my system was not. I quickly upgraded my Transparent to contemporary… wow, what an improvement.

I'm especially stayed aware of the article and I will get many benefits from it. Subsequently, thank you for sharing it. MyInsuranceInfo.com
