Thanks for the report.

 

Now, please consider another comparison report ... Down the line of course when you are familiar and comfortable with everything and maybe have it well tweaked. This comparison would be would be well done high-res digital vs. your LPs - same music.

 

I, for one, am quite interested in your thoughts on this.

Though it the answer may lie somewhere in the 113 pages of this thread, I will ask here:

For what reason(s) does Aurender use large format 3.5” drives only in its top of line offerings? 

ps: hoping to hear something from Aurender directly or indirectly, meaning fact and not conjecture. Thank you.

3.5" drives have a lot more capacity than 2.5" drives.  3.5" drives can currently be had up to 14TB.  2.5" drives top out at 5TB

This is a true statement.

Is this “THE reason” according to Aurender?

Not completely accurate the X100 uses LFF (3.5) drives and not the SFF (2.5) like the N100/N10/A10

OK, that does appear to be a pointer toward the “larger capacity” answer.

Thanks

My first post on this site.    I am a new member but have been lurking for a while.  I've found the site and forums to be very helpful. 

 

I'm thinking of upgrading my Auralic Aries G2 to an Aurender W20.  Would I find that a meaningful upgrade?  I know both are on the C.A.S.H. list.  Thank you.

Hi Jim,

I had an Aries G2 here for demo/purchase and, incredibly, preferred my Aries w/SBooster LPSU.
