Article: Aurender A30 Full Review

[Ed_K]

Nice review Chris.  A year or so ago I bought an Aurender N10 based on some of the reviews and posts here and on other forums.  Since then I have become a fan of Tidal and upgraded my N10 to do the first unfold of MQA.  This has me on the hunt for a new DAC (EMM, Sim, Brinkmann, DCS, etc.) that does the full unfold. Currently, using a Meitner MA-1 and in my system, MQA files do sound better (to my ears/taste). So was wondering if you had done any evaluation of the MQA full unfold in the A30, especially vs. the W20/Rossini setup or Rossini on its own, since it is on my short list. I may be wrong but I don't think you mentioned anything about the MQA capability on the A30. If anyone else wants to weigh in, feel free but don't want to get this sidetracked into an MQA viability discussion.  Thanks to all!
