@ghdprentice @oddiofyl @willywonka all good stuff gentleman, I will try both USB & coaxial when the unit arrives (the seller hasn’t even acknowledged payment yet)
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!

I like DH Labs , sure they have some $$$ cables but most of their stuff is within reach of blue collar guys. I also have the Air Matrix Cryo . I needed a 1.5 m pair and they had a special. I had to pull the trigger and try them. They are excellent. Not that they are cheap , but given the price of the components they are connecting they represent a good value. My Dad needed a pair of cables so I picked up their White Lightning ... really good quality for 90 bucks |
+1, @ghdprentice on trying both SPDIF and USB cables. |
@oddiofyl - Off the subject but I was doing some reading up on the DAC you have, the Lab12, interesting. Terry London at Home Theater Review says the Lab 12 could hold its own with $10K - $20K DACs. Have you compared the Lab 12 to any other DACs? I would like to upgrade from my Gustard R26 sometime in the future but with the price of the Lab 12, I may be able to do it sooner rather than later. I think I'll just order the DH Labs coaxial cable this AM too! |
