MarkS Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I enjoyed this also. A few questions if you have a chance: 1. How do you find the SQ of the Aurender setup versus Roon. 2. I’m not sure I understand how the W20 works in the chain to the Rossini Player (i.e., why ACS10 to W20 to Rossini and not just use Ethernet from ACS10 to Rossini?) Wouldn’t that allow you to skip the W20 or do you prefer dual AES over Ethernet to the Rossini. - Mark Synology DS916+ > SoTM dCBL-CAT7 > Netgear switch > SoTM dCBL-CAT7 > dCS Vivaldi Upsampler (Nordost Valhalla 2 power cord) > Nordost Valhalla 2 Dual 110 Ohm AES/EBU > dCS Vivaldi DAC (David Elrod Statement Gold power cord) > Nordost Valhalla 2 xlr > Absolare Passion preamp (Nordost Valhalla 2 power cord) > Nordost Valhalla 2 xlr > VTL MB-450 III (Shunyata King Cobra CX power cords) > Nordost Valhalla 2 speaker > Kaiser Kaewero Classic /JL Audio F110 (Wireworld Platinum power cord).

agladstone Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Chris: if you’ve been following my inquiries in the Aurender thread, you know how happy I am to see this video and now I can’t wait to read your full review later this month. Thanks!! Link to comment
agladstone Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Chris: Her are a few questions I have in regards to the ACS10 (perhaps you can address them in your upcoming review, or answer here)? 1. How does it sound / work as an actual player / streamer instead of using as a backend to another Aurender (in addition to its Server and Ripper functionality)? 2. Can the internal HDD’s be replaced / upgraded by the end user? (or by an authorized dealer if not by user)? 3. If you already have a NAS being used as a backup for all your music with a RAID, does it make sense to not configure the ACS10 in RAID and take advantage of double the internal space ? 4. If you currently own an Aurender, can you initially connect it to the ASC10 to perform a “copy” function to transfer all your music into the ASC10 as a starting point? Thanks in advance!! ajay556 1 Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I specifically like the sound of a vinyl record having the stylus dragged across it at the end... 😉 No electron left behind. Link to comment

kelvinwsy Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hi Chris - Simply simple - Huh? 5mins of pure condensed WhatUNeed2Know about the item under review. A non-audiophile user can gauge whether it is what he needs for his system. The Audiophile will know what he has to research (or dig under the rock) to find out more. Great Effort. Pure Genius in its simplicity Link to comment
kelvinwsy Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Ooh ... a more appropriate term would be Pop the Hood to find out what's underneath... not a rock😂 Link to comment
