| Solo streamer @rvpiano check TMR periodically. They have used and demo Audience cables pretty frequently. | |
| Recomendations on transport @tonydennison if I understand correctly, you have a storage device with DSD files. And you are looking to be able to play those thru your PS Audio DAC. First if all, PS Audio DAC will play DSD over PCM (DOP). You need a streamer that has USB in ... | |
| Solo streamer @lalitk Definitely will give it a try. Had a bit of a chaotic couple of months with selling separates, getting integrated amps and doing a shootout, changing DACs. Settling down gradually. It will be a few months before I get to USB though. Don’t ... | |
| Solo streamer @lalitk @mclinnguy thanks for the recommendation. By the way Audience has two more USB cables up from StudioOne. The FrontRow and FtontRow Reserve silver cable. Those are more in line with FTA Sinope price wise. | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano You need A-B. | |
| So, I bought a Chord Hugo TT2...now what? Yes it’s a really nice DAC…enjoy! | |
| Solo streamer To add…I throw the stock Aurender USB cable into the mix every once in a while. I’ve done it enough times and listened to it long enough each time to eliminate confirmation bias. The AQ Diamond is a better cable. And so is the Audience. Of course ... | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano one of the best USB cables I have tried is Audience StudioOne. Another is AudioQuest Diamond. Audience is fuller sounding, has more body and weight while retaining clarity and details. Soundstage is wide and deep. AQ Diamond is slightly... | |
| pop sound between tracks @dwmb I have Aurender N200 and used it with 3 DACs: Bricasti M3, PS Audio DSD and Chord Hugo TT2. I use USB. Skipping from track to track there’s a very faint pop. Nothing major and barely noticeable. When the songs are played from the queue th... | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. secretguy 1,678 posts 08-30-2024 at 07:59pm My amp puts out 200/400 and is stable at 2 ohms (550)....powers my Maggies without breaking sweat and sounds sublime. Unfortunately, I guess the name doesn't have the cache for some "audiophile... | |
| Matching Aurender with P.S.Audio I was running N200 with PS Audio DSD MkI via USB No issues, sounded great. | |
| Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far @theo that is a good plan and is how I usually go about comparing changes. please keep me posted | |
| Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far @theo definitely worth a try. Give yourself some time to adjust to new sound after you make the change. You might get more volume range on the ARC preamp as well | |
| Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far I had Benchmark DAC 3 set at -10db when I had it (HGC version). It sounded best that way. The 0db setting produced results similar to TT2 in DAC mode although not quiet as bad. I don’t mean any disrespect but recommendations from Benchmark are not... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @helomech These days there exist $200 “Chi-Fi” DACs that objectively outperform the DAC3. says who? And what specific DACs are you referring to? Sounds like ASR propaganda… |
