| Aurender N150 vs N200 I agree N200 then a great DAC, not a lateral move but significantly better and you will be all set for a while | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality The level of support from Aurender was worth the price of admission. I only needed support twice and they took care of it remotely. The new version of Conductor 4 is slick and has been pretty solid. My DAC is the LAB 12 DAC 1 Reference and it sou... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 There is a comparison chart on their site. My thinking was the same , The N200 has a lot more in terms of power supply, isolation, etc I’m sure the 150 is awesome but I think it only has USB and doesn’t have the un-interruptible PS. Wha... | |
| Affordable Tube Tester It also had been serviced not too long ago. When I bought it, the seller sent a video of him testing two "bogey" tubes. A 6l6 and 12ax7 When I got it I tested a few of my tubes that were matched and tested and it was accurate enough for my nee... | |
| Affordable Tube Tester Be careful with used testers. Many are way out of spec after 50, 60, 70 years..... I got lucky when I bought my Hickok 800. It was obviously loved and taken care of. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 There is also a utility to “mount” your computer to the Aurender , that worked well when I copied a hard drive to the N200 | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 It may take a few times. I do have several titles that were done on a certain CD ripper that it just recognizes the artist/tracks but overall it cleaned things up a bit. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Enjoy ! If you go into the Aurender menu there is a tab for it to scan the drive(s) for new content. In my experience it did a great job on the files I had on my SSD. I copied a bunch of stuff from my Vault's drive and the Aurender filled ... | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality I'm not so sure about that. There is a lot of 24/96 and higher material out there. The other night I was playing Pete Yorn's 2003 The Day I Forgot on vinyl. It sounded really good. Just for S&G I played the same album on Qobuz and it s... | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality I went from the very good Bluesound Vault 2i to an Aurender N200 and it was a huge difference. Great machine. | |
| Which Clock I believe i2s just like spdif uses the sources clock. You want USB if you want the DAC to use its internal clock | |
| Streaming DAC recommendation TMR gave me a great deal on an Aurender N200 new, they are an authorized dealer. The A200 has a similar feature set and is a DAC/ Streamer They are authorized dealers for Innuos, and HiFi Rose too | |
| Streaming DAC recommendation I have an Aurender and love it. I'll normally recommend them but I have no idea how Roon interfaces with Aurender so I'll also recommend Innuos. Great sounding streamers and software is good too. My Dad is currently using an Eversolo A6 Maste... | |
| Project genie turntable, is it worth reviving If you can’t find what you need on eBay , Analog Seduction in the UK is a ProJect dealer and stocks parts. https://www.analogueseduction.net/ Great people to deal with. Shipping isn’t bad for small parts. | |
| Best Options For A Tubed Preamp - $2500 Or Less, Preferably Used To Maximize Value Definitely spend money on a great preamp. It is essential for good sound. It's also the last place you want a bottleneck. I had the privilege of owning a Zesto preamp and it transformed my system. More like transported it to another level. ... |
