| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse If you have 80% not to do it in your mind, DON'T DO it. But in case that 20% gets the best of you, here is an option for you. Your cost to AL can be easily over $2000 factoring in the gas, veh. dep., hotel and personal VOT. Buying from this lady... | |

| DAC for Aurender N200 The following DACs are highly compatible with the Aurender N200’s capabilities in delivering high-resolution files and managing noise effectively. R2R Denafrips Pontus 15th / Venus 15th – Highly regarded for natural, analog-like sound. Holo A... | |
| Shrink Totem 1's? If you cut the back the speakers will not have binding posts anymore and you will not be able to connect them. no worry just solder speaker wire directly which will sound better. | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps Just to clarify the point about over-correction: In my living room, the PEQ corrections were kept within ±4dB, which corresponds to a ±32% change in the perceived sound level. Beyond this range, I would consider the adjustment to be an over-correc... | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps If the room is not that ideal, room treatment first. Over-correcting it messes sound. Good luck. EQ could help you tweak loudness / SPL / dispersion at certain frequencies but won't change or enhance the quality / definition of the sound notes. | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps Ed, I tried all that with the Ultra, yet the MXN10 still renders cleaner, crisper, and more transparent sound. The edges of high and low notes are more well-defined with the CA streamer. The Ultra's rich feature set and its 20% sale tempted me t... | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps Highly recommend that you change out Wiim Ultra. Mxn10 from CA sounds much better ... | |

| Topping Centaurus R2R $800 Spec wise on the PCM side, the THD+N of -106 dB is identical to Holo Cyan 2. However, this thing has oversampling mode to choose from and is cheaper than Cyan 2. I will wait for the reviews and availability in Amazon. | |
| Shrink Totem 1's? Are you out of mind? Sorry to use that wording but chopping 4" in depth will turn the 9" sealed box to a semi-open baffled speaker, completely ruin the structure, design and sound of the speaker. Consider donating them to a caring / loving home ... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @sls883 Same here. After burn-in and room correction (RC), it starts sounding smoother, but I still prefer the MXN10 overall with both internal and external DACs. The MXN10 sounds cleaner, crispier and more transparent. The edges of both high and ... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? I heard noticeable differences in SQ among three modestly priced but capable streamers: CA MXN10, IFi ZS and Wiim Ultra in my humble system. All were tested with an external dac. | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? Cambridge MXN10. You could bypass the preamp / dac. |
