| Singxer SU-6 @mitch2 -Thanks for your review. I purchased one at the end of 2023 and use it with my Aurender N200 and ARC CD 6SE CD/DAC. Since the Aurender is USB output, by using an AES/EBU between the SU-6 and my CD/DAC, I've been able to upsample the music... | |
| Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!! This is an informational and fun thread. Thanks to the OP. Not sure if $1,000 upgrade is a "tweak." But here's go- My Aurender N200 is connected to my ARC Ref 6SE CD player/DAC. Since the DAC can upsample up to 196, I added a Singxer SU-6 and an... | |

| Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question @plasticspoon8 -I echo the recommendation for the Denon DCD-1600. Fit and finish, sound are top notch. When auditioning CD players and transports I listened to both the DCD-1600 and the Denon DCD-a110 anniversary CD player. The difference between ... | |
| Aurender Music Server and CD Transport comparison @blakcloud - If you search "CEC Tl-2X" on hifishark, you will find one listed on another audiomart site (I am not the seller). | |
| Newer Blues Artists or Recordings @mitch2 Great thread topic! Thanks for posting. I’ve listened to the blues on and off for 50 years (yes, I’m old). After the passing of the greats-Muddy Waters, et al, I stopped listening for a bit. In the last couple of years I’ve started liste... | |

| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf -"So are tou saying the Denon PMA-A110 is in the same ball park as the Hegel H80?" @blackbag20 -"I’d poke around on The Music Room ... it has a Hegel H80 in your budget." If soundstage and resolution are at the top of your list, the Hege... | |
| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf - "The Arcam sounds good I just want something more robust and with a more realistic and holographic sound if that makes sense." Yes. The Denon will be more robust, for sure. And yes, the design is pretty awesome and great to look at. WR... | |
| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf - "Would you say it is superior to the Arcam?" Depends what you are looking for--I had an Arcam amp and remember it leaning towards a darker British sound--warm, very musical and "polite." It worked great with a pair of Dahlquist reissue... | |
| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf - The Denon house sound is "beefy." It has presence. You will get resolution, decent soundstage, but not as much air and space between the instruments because the amp is tuned to be on the warm side of neutral. It's also built to last. D... | |
