| Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200 No, scratch that last comment about jriver. | |
| Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200 Thanks @audphile1 . I’ll give it a try. One thing I did try this evening is to use jriver instead of the Lumin app. Listening now. Not night and day, but so far it is a more robust presentation with better inner detail. Surprise! But I think there... | |
| Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200 I’m feeding it fiber. Clean as a whistle. Cat 8 to converter, then fiber to the unit. All LPS. | |
| Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200 Ahh... first world problems. We are so fortunate. | |
| Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200 Thanks @dolfan . Juan at Bliss suggested I try that as well. I had done previously with USB cables. Tried with power cords this morning, though due to a very limited selection of quality spares I had to swap from one unit to another. So robbing Pe... | |
| AGD Tempo in the house @lula I can't answer your question directly (comparing the Audion to the Tempo) but this might help: I have two Tempos. I am currently using one channel each, not bridged, as mono blocks. There is a notable difference between this setup and using ... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 @riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook I am using a pair of AGD Tempo's. These are stereo amps, the single chassis amp referred to above. I am using one channel of each (not bridged), using as monobocks. Teajay, I really want Class D Ga... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 Teajay, If you have ever listened enough to have a sense of them, the tonality of AGD amps compared to this Coda? TIA Mark | |
| Battle of the Open Baffles @willywonka so I hear, but haven’t heard. Doubt they would be sufficient in a room of my size though. | |
| Battle of the Open Baffles I have become a fan of open baffle designs. Had a pair of Spatial X5 a few years ago, and just received my Caladans, the audio bargain of the century. They are replacing speakers that cost 3x their price, which they significantly outperform. | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision Lots of great options mentioned here. I would add Rogue Audio RP-7 to your list. | |
| New streamer @signaforce The Mini offers a lot for the money. Very good sonics, thoughtful design, excellent app. Roon ready if you use that. USB out is noticeably better than the others, at least with my DAC (PS A DSD Mk2). I think the two main advantages of... | |
| New streamer If you decide to go with the Lumin let me know. I just upgraded to a U2 from the Mini. Haven’t listed it yet. | |
| Need a big favor picking a preamp +10 Backert Labs. Look at, listen to the Rhythm. About $10k. Contrary to one comment here it IS balanced with XLR in and out. And if you do buy one consider replacing the tubes (there are only 2) with RCA 12sn7's with adapters. Outstanding. I've ... | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? Of the speakers you mention I have owned two: Spatial Audio X5 97db. This speaker made magic with a Pass XA-25. Imaging was phenomenal, particularly the layered depth it produced. The negative was it produced a very narrow sweet-spot in my room,... |
