| Solo streamer Good deal. I would snap that up | |
| So, I bought a Chord Hugo TT2...now what? The Vault is very good . It was my first streamer. I replaced it with an Aurender N200 and that is a great unit. I still use the Vault in a second system. I actually was able to copy the Vault's files over the network and put them on the N2... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I think a lot has to do with the source of the recording. When it was mastered , who mastered it…. Etc. There are many copies of the “same” album when you search. Some are phenomenal, some are pretty bad. I have a lot of CDs that were AAD ... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I just bought a transport… go figure. I embrace all formats but I have a lot of CDs and sometimes I’ll search on Tidal or Qobuz and an artist or album isn’t available I stream a lot , my Aurender N200 sounds great but I think this new transpor... | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? Most of my connections are spades but my little Cyrus Amp will only accept BFA... it's the only thing I don't like about it | |
| Seeking Hi-Fi DJ for Daughter's Wedding. Congrats! My daughter is getting married next year. They actually ended up getting a band. They checked out a few DJs and as others said none had anything close to HiFi. They wanted so much money that I think it helped their decision to... | |
| Why a dedicated SACD player more noticeable sound quality difference than HDMI-I2S w/ DACs I just replaced an OPPO 103d I was using as a "transport" with a dedicated transport , the Teac VRDS 701t . Night and day difference, no comparison. Wish I had done this a long time ago. The difference is not subtle , the OPPO was poor as a m... | |
| Solo streamer I like separate streamers and DACs for the same reasons I like separate preamps and amps. The N200 is an awesome machine , you should have no regrets Enjoy until you can really better the Benchmark because it is a good DAC. It will also... | |
| Master clock generator You will need a Mutec Reference clock as they have both 75 and 50 ohm outputs | |
| Solo streamer That Bricasti is a fine sou ding unit and the fact it can drive an Amp is appealing but I like to run all of my sources at a fixed output into a preamp . I guess if you are all digital it makes sense .... I'll always use an active pre | |
| Solo streamer I’d always rather have a separate preamp. I know DAC / Preamps are hugely popular but I wonder how many are just climbing the DAC ladder and have never had a really good preamp that meshes well with all their other gear. My last two preamps ... | |
| Receiver having audio out jack for recording analog sources They have pretty much disappeared from HT gear. Some 2 channel preamps and integrated Amps have them but most won't transcode analog to digital or vice versa . | |
| TUBE PREAMP Look for a ET3 SE. SE = Teflon cap upgrade | |
| Solo streamer There is more to Aurender than the fact it is a PC that's hot rodded. It is, BUT for me it takes the computer out of computer audio. As I type this with two fingers. I have to say that's worth something to me ..... Ever pick up an Aurender ? ... | |
| Which preamp for Quicksilver mono amps? I was using a Zesto Leto with the Mid Monos. That caliber of preamp really demonstrated how good those amps can sound. I used them with a CJ Classic 2SE and that was a really good sounding combo. Also used them with a Sonic Frontiers SFL 1 ,... |
