The "upgrade" to the HD DAC is called " Tube DAC". There is an upgrade plan available from NAGRA.

One of the main change is a new Digital board with the addition of a new Nagra proprietary...

OK, I have completed my tests for best connexion between my Aurender W20 and my Denafrips Terminator R2R DAC.


- First I compared the 3 connections ( AES, Coax and USB) with 3 cables from the...

Interesting, but what is the connection of your writing with the Boulder 2120 ?

Well, now the Aurender W20 is installed at home above the Denafrips Terminator R2R DAC and under the BHSE amp & the EC445 Amp. I installed them on cones made of lava to decouple them from the...

Don’t worry I also got the original top.

So as soon as I am back home I will listen to compare booth, and... it is very possible that I will put back the original top ;-)

For weeks, I was hoping for a W20 successor, but now that I have bought a W20... I hope the successor will not come soon ! funny isn't it ?

And please do not make fun about the wodden top of my...

Great news (for me). I finally bought a used W20, and it is at my home already. 

I already tried it with my friends NAGRA HD DAC and with my own Denafrips Terminator R2R DAC. With booth the...

Dear sir, I got this reassuring answer from Aurender support team :

«* The LiFePO4 has a very long charge/discharge cycle life time, which is about 2,000 times longer than Lithium Ion’s 300~500....

I Wonder if getting a used W20 instead of a N10 still make sense with a DAC that do NOT has Dual AES/EBU and NO Clock Input.

could you please provide the link to this interesting shootout ? thanks

thanks. I will write to Aurender's support team

I am proposed a 3 years old W20. My main fear is that the batteries will soon have to be replaced, and what is the cost (and the possibility) to replace them.

So... I wonder what is the expected...

I have a question: while I will have my Aurender connected to my DAC for HiFi listening, can my home SONOS system also use the Aurender to play another music from the Aurender HD ( the SONOS will...

Agrée, but it is more convenient to have lyrics inside your player. Deezer even scroll the text to follow the singing, like.. karaoke ;-)

I am myself NOT a ROON fan, and therefore ready to accept that the Conductor app is a very vialable alternative. The ONLY MISSING FEATURE for me compared to ROON (and Deezer), is the ability to...

I was tempted by the W20, but I discovered that... the 2 AES connectors of my DAC do not support dual mode AES/EBU. And also my DAC does not have Clock input.


So, I wonder if, without use of...

thanks a lot for your answer. I understand that LUMIN cannot run Roon Core, but... can the LUMIN be a ROON Endpoint and allow us to choose (on the fly ? ) between ROON interface and Lumin iPAD app ...

This Lumin X1 seems to be a very good product, but I have a hard time to understand the real difference between a LUMIN streamer, and a simple streaming DAC like Brinkmann Nyquist, dcS Rossini,...

I wonder why the ACS has 3 Ethernet outputs ? any explanation where those 3 ethernet cable go ?

In my opinion the internal...

Thank you very much for your explanations. I am sorry to hear that you had such problems with Aurender. May be your N10 was defective or it's firmware corrupted ?

Interesting.... could you please elaborate why you choosed LUMIN ?

Is it only based on sound quality or also on the LUMIN software interface that you prefered to the Aurender’s conductor App ?

thanks mike for the advice but... the MSB Select (and the vivaldi) are not in the same price range than the dCS Rossini, which is the max budget I am ready to spend.

The W20 is 5 years old, which is... very old by digital standards ! are there any rumors about a successor to the W20 ?

I read few times that the ROSSINI (that I am contemplating a my next DAC) does support Tidal, Spotify Connect & Deezer, but... I do not see any mention of DEEZER in the Rossini's manual


--> Is...

Well, MELCO cannot run ROON Server but... the Zenith ( starting with the «*cheap*» 2000$ version ) can run ROON Server, so... you can use the Zenith as a ROON Server + ROON End-point (and connect it...
