I went from the N200 to the N 20. I wish I had started with the N 20 as I would’ve saved a lot of money.

Re: What do you hear different using Balanced XLR Cables?
For me the quality of the cables makes a larger difference than Balanced vs Unbalanced. That being said, all of my cables are balanced and so is my gear to take advantage of them. I do prefer the...

I have tried that many times. I almost always prefer the Hi-Rez versions. It may just be my ears, I don't rule anything out.

Re: News: Millions Of MQA Tracks Coming To TIDAL Masters From Warner Music
For my system and ears, I prefer Tidal MQA over Qobuz HD by a small amount. I wish it wasn't so because Tidal is more expensive. I do have a MQA Dac.

Peter, I only use the K-01x to play CD's & SACD's but I do believe I use the SDLY2 filter setting. For streaming and hi-res downloads I have my Aurender N10 feeding my Berkeley MQA DAC.
