    Mike replied to a thread N20, n30sa, mc10 in Aurender
    The MC10 will work brilliantly with the N20 and say an Esoteric K-01XD SE. Then both the Esoteric and N20 clock off the same clock Another option is take the DAC and clock funds and put it into an MSB DAC which have clock sync options so you...

    Yes, that’s the plan. Right now the focus is getting the new SE’s out the door. Then I think they will formulate the upgrade program. But the plan is for it to be done in-house in the USA. Esoteric sure is busy! SE models and tone arm...

    You should ask your dealer to bring the CH stuff he wants to sell you for home audition in your system. IMO there is no way to tell what will sound better in your system.

    I have measured the current draw of over 20 different NUC boards. For the regular Nucleus, the current draw @ 12V is as follows: Standby: 0.05A Music playing (no DSP): 0.42A Startup spike (less than 0.1s): 1.22A Nucleus+ Standby: 0.05A

    Intel specs for the NUC boards used inside the Nucleus clearly state: Input voltage: 12-19V DC Which means you can use any voltage from 12V to 19V. Nucleus comes with 19V one, which is the most popular laptop standard (and also the cheaper...

    It’s both, but their strength is DSD (SACD). They still dominate by a country mile for SACD (which is DSD on a disc). In my opinion…. Best DAC’s for DSD: - Esoteric - Lampizator - Meitner/EMM (not my kind of sound, but they execute it...
