| Best tube dac available? Modwright Elyse - Tungsram 7DJ8 signal tubes, Philips 5R4GYS rectifier and HIFI Tuning Supreme Fuse. Amazing details and dynamics with KWA150SE in bridged mode. Best of both worlds!!! | |
| Hi End Fuses YES!!! They do make sonic enhancements. To what degree, depends on your gear. I have been using HIFI Tuning fuses for over 5 years in my rig and recently installed a Supreme series fuse in my Modwright DAC. I wouldn't say that difference is day a... | |
| Tidal vs. Deezer Elite for Sonos Hi Howard, What sounds better is purely subjective to one's personal taste and associated gear. Since you're listening through Sonos, there shouldn't be any discerning differences between Tidal and Deezer Elite. They both stream music in 1,411Kbit... | |
| Im over Tidal Zero issues with Tidal since I switched from Netgear Powerline adapters to Apple AirPort Extreme duo. Best sound and music collection is growing...still not on par with Spotify and Rhapsody. But I would take awesome streaming quality over conten... | |
| Music Servers-Why so few? IMO, Auralic and Aurender pushing the envelope in ease, quality and wide range of price levels. The Aurender N100H is practically a 'steal' for anyone wants to own a high quality streamer as an alternate to mac/windows based system. | |
| Server to DAC connection psag, IMO, N10 does a great job of minimizing digital noise and jitter control. If you do end up up trying Alpha USB, please post your finding here. Here's to another tweak and relentless pursuit for audio nirvana 🍻 | |
| Server to DAC connection psag, Now that I recall, you were going to try M2-tech HiFace Evo (USB converter) in between your DEQX HDP-4 preamp/DAC and N10? | |
| Server to DAC connection IMO, since your DAC lacks a USB input, you will gain next to nothing with Berkeley Alpha USB. It would make sense to use Alpha USB with a Aurender N100 or any other streamer / computer with USB output only. On the flip side, if you prefer to use N... | |
| Servers and tweaks I also own N10, aftermarket power cords would be one way to go before you try any other tweaks. I have mine plugged with Audience Au24 SE MP power cord with great results. I have been thinking about Stein Music Super Naturals. IMO, solid wood tend... | |
| Background noise? Glad to be of help. Enjoy! | |
| Background noise? From what it sounds like, you are hearing what's inherited in the recording. Your new gear is revealing to the point that it's letting you hear everything, good or bad. And that's what a properly setup system should sound. If you continue to h... | |
| Where did you sink the most cash into? Cables ➡️ Speakers ➡️ Components ➡️ Media ➡️ Tweaks | |
| Aurender iOS app psag, may I please know what DAC you're using with N10? Also, have you done A/B comparison between USB and AES/EBU or SPDIF connections? | |
| Aurender iOS app hgeifman, Having owned both N100H and N10, if money is no object; I would pick N10 over N100H. To my ears, N10 delivers in spades through AES/EBU or SPDIF connection. The overall soundstage is more transparent with velvety mid range, oodles of mic... | |
| Aurender iOS app I was using a Netgear power line adapters (6 years old), may be they didn't have enough bandwidth. The Aurender manual and support team strongly recommends AirPort Extreme for streaming. Since i have installed AirPort Extreme i have not experie... |
