| No response from Aurender customer support That’s really odd. I usually get a response from their support team within 24-48hrs. Did you go thru Conductor app, Help, Send Remote Support Email? | |
| Lumin U1 mini vs SOtM 200 neo ultra as Roon endpoint Try both coax and usb but money’s on usb sounding better. | |
| Lumin U1 mini vs SOtM 200 neo ultra as Roon endpoint Then I’d recommend going with the U1 Mini. Get a good USB cable and you’re all set. | |
| Dac with build-up streamer Bricasti M3. But network renderer, not a streamer. Meaning it is a Roon endpoint or can be used with mconnect but doesn’t have its own UI. | |
| Let's talk about Silver... @zlone … any more thoughts on the merits of pure silver over pure copper in digital cables? I’m using Purist Audio CAT7 (silver) Ethernet cable and like it. I’ve also used AQ Diamond USB (silver) and it was good. I actually found it to be sm... | |
| Lumin U1 mini vs SOtM 200 neo ultra as Roon endpoint Agreed - Roon interface is awesome. As to streamers - I had the U1 Mini and it’s a good sounding machine for the money. With it you have flexibility to use Lumin native app, Mconnect, Roon, Jplay. I would strongly encourage you to try it all and ... | |
| Lumin U1 mini vs SOtM 200 neo ultra as Roon endpoint If your priority is sound quality you may want to reconsider Roon. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT @jasonbourne71 all streamers are the same. All DACs are indistinguishable from each other. Jitter is no longer an issue. | |
| Do you have a screw loose? Drop of locktite may stop the screws from coming loose…in your speakers depending on what holds them. Don’t take it internally though. Lol | |
| Fiber or Eithenet @chipcalzone definitely on my list. With music direct return policy it’s low risk. And I’m glad to hear there’s a way to kill those LEDs. | |
| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension @teammccalla in my experience best power cord on integrated amp then second best on dac. I’m not familiar with any of your power cables though. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT Yes @soix you are correct. I was referring to DDC or clock that is inserted between streamer and dac. It will reclock whatever input you feed it. So the i2s out of DDC into DAC will most likely sound as good as any other interface. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT @soix I had exactly the same experience as you when I compared DH Labs coax vs. stock cheap usb cable between Aurender N200 and Bricasti M3. The cheap USB beat the DH Labs. And it had nothing to do with the cables. The DH Labs D750 is an amazing d... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT i2s was developed for internal connections and was never meant to be an interface between two components i.e. streamer and DAC. There are no standards defined for i2s snd that is precisely the reason why there are compatibility issues between comp... | |
| Good USB C Cable Nordost Frey 2 is USB-C. I haven’t heard it in my system but can’t imagine it being bad. I auditioned Tyr 2 recently. |
