| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? Another reason I chose the N200, I can use either it's USB or Coax. I think my DAC sounds better via Coax . I think the clock in the Aurender is better than in my DAC, this would explain why I think the Coax connection sounds better. My oth... | |
| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? The N200 was a little more than I planned spending but I traded a preamp plus cash to make it happen. Was planning to use that preamp until mine is built but I could not miss the opportunity to buy the N200 so I did a deal that was super easy on... | |
| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? I recently replaced my Vault 2i with an Aurender N200 . I used the Vault 2i with several good DACs since owning it. It is a great machine. I still use it for convenience and to rip content. The Aurender is in a different league as far as b... | |
| Remote Subwoofer Controls I think the REL mindset is that once you get it dialed in you won't need to mess with it. They prefer the speakon type connector from speaker level anyway | |
| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k Quicksilver KT Mono would be a great choice..... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl I sold my Rega 3 ten years ago. I kept some records, many still in wrapper or played only a handful of times The Rega and Thorens I had were decent tables but nothing on the level that would compare to today’s digital . I started playing ... | |
| My audio system and streaming service are not yet on speaking terms. Help needed. I went from playing files through my OPPO to a Vault 2i and then to an Aurender N200. The Vault 2i is a great box for the money , no doubt. So good that you need to spend some $$$ to better it I never thought I would spend on a streamer li... | |
| Neutral Dac? Natural. Yes. Some DACs can sound more like analog and less like digital. Or bad digital anyway. If no one remembers the Sony CDP 101 is was only capable of 14 bit resolution. The fact that it didn’t skip (usually) or have surface nois... | |
| Neutral Dac? I honestly don’t care how it measures, If it’s considered neutral or lush, or whatever and however you want to describe it. I only care about how it sounds in my system. | |
| Neutral Dac? I am a big believer in synergy. I had a NAD m51. Sounded great in my system. Why I replaced it with the RME , I’ll never know. That’s not to say I didn’t like the RME , I did but the NAD has a more natural sound to me. The RME is what ... | |
| Forte 4a service If you have a local tech that can repair it these guys may be able to source the parts Www.aeri.com | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender I'm using a TP Link Ethernet over AC adapter . From that I have a TP Link 10 port switch . One SFP port goes to a TP Link MC220 fiber optic converter. This is connected to my Aurender N200 via a short ethernet cable. I do the same thing ou... | |
| Aurender I am really loving my N200, As lucmichaude said, stored content is indistinguishable from the original. Support from Aurender is great too... Im glad I stretched my budget on this one , it's such a slick way to stream, and store music. | |
| Aurender I have the Aurender's USB connected to my RME DAC which I use in a headphone set up. The RME doesn't care about the source clock, it uses it's internal clock for all inputs Keep in mind thats just a USB 2.0 cable, nothing special. I think my L... | |
| Vintage tube sound from a modern amp Yes, part of the reason I went SET. Simple , no matching tubes , auto bias is nice too. First amp I’ve owned that I don’t have to bias. That amp is a mythical beast though. One came up for sale a while back and the first thing I though... |
