  1. It is a U.S version 115 V. I only see one fuse in the chassis by the transformer. Where is the second fuse? Thank you
  2. Is the fuse inside the DAC200 easily accessible? Anyone know the spec on the fuse?
  3. I’m ready to pull the trigger on this Synology NAS and the SS drives. Is this adequate performance for music files? I appreciate all the help. The specs on the NAS. 2 x 3.5/2.5" SATA HDD/SSD Drive Bays 2.0 GHz Intel Celeron J4025 Dual-Core 2GB DDR4 RAM
  4. I’m definitely in a neophyte regarding NAS set up. Even “define the shared folder/s” regarding Samba is not something I clearly understand, but I have basic computer knowledge and an older Mac mini I can use to configure this. I did see a NAS and a recommend 2TB drive available.: Synology 2 bay NAS DiskStation DS220+ $299. Western Digital 2TB WD Red SA500 NAS 3D NAND Internal SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm $159. I would never have over 2 TB of CD rips and this modest combination would more than suffice, unless I’m missing something . This would be less expensive, almost $1000 less than a SonicTransporter and possibly perform just as well, leaving money for an upgraded Ethernet cable and power supply. I just would have to figure out how to configure Samba and assemble the NAS but I could probably find some YouTube videos. Is Samba a preferable simplicity wise, to minimServer?
  5. I went to the Samba site and I was lost in the configuration set up after the first sentence, it might as well be written in Latin to me. I’ve been told that in the near future, the Innuos will allow a USB drive to be plugged, yet, I was told that it would not sound as good as a NAS drive. What I don’t understand some people say digital storage all sounds the same all sound the same. so I decided I will not pursue USB as a playback storage yet I need something simple. I was hoping to connected someone who has compared a SonicTransporter to a NAS drive and found no difference in sound quality. I need to check with Small green computer, but I would think if a SonicTransporter is on a network that has access to the Internet, that meta-data would be updated when I rip a CD.
  6. The storage would be on a network, dedicated to my audio system, without a computer. I would initially connect whatever storage device I select to my computer to load my Music files, but afterward, it would be on the separate audio network. I should have updated my profile. My new streamer is a Innuos Pulsar that is a dedicated streamer and does not have HD storage. The reason I am considering the Sonic transporter is, the lack of complexity in configuring a NAS, and a Sonic Transporter i5 sonic with the ripping feature would not require it to be returned to my computer work station to download additional files. Only reason I would consider a NAS would be if it is sonically superior. If I would be taking a step back in sound quality with something like a Sonic Transporter, then I would be compelled to go through the learning process of how to configure NAS.
  7. I need server storage and I considering the Small Green Computer i5 sonic Transporter or NAS. The i5 is attractive because it’s pretty much (plug & play) and I’m not very computer savvy. I’ve set up NAS with minimServer years back but I can’t recall all the required configurations. If there’s not a compromise in sound quality, I would take the simplicity of the i5. If anyone has compared a Synology NAS to a SonicTransporter, it would be great to read about a comparison.
  8. I have just installed my new N20. In the manual the instructions are to select the + symbol to open a window to type a specific radio station and it’s URL to access stations not available in the on the Shoutcast list. I can not seem to find the path to to find this window nor the + on Conductor screen. Any help would be appreciated
  9. I was the Axpona show last spring and spoke directly with several of South Korean Company representatives who know both the engineering and sonic side of the N20. I asked them providing the sources were the best possible available via ABS, Spdif and USB, what connection is the best sonic input to use, and their reply was the USB.
  10. This is a long shot but, I’m wondering if there are any N20 owners that previously were Innuos owners and experienced a performance improvement by moving to the Aurender. My specific goal, is to gain a sonic lift by replacing my Innuos Zenith MKII SE with the purchase of a N20. This Innuos is a older limited edition but it’s my understanding, that it still sounds better than the current MK3.
  11. Did you compare the stock fuse that came in the KTE to other two fuses? Thanks
  12. Has anyone upgraded the fuse in power supply chassis? I’ve read so many positive comments on the Synergistic Research Purple fuse that it’s very tempting to to try.
  13. I’ve been reading reviews on both the Anuz PowerSwitches and Synergistic Research Ethernet switch but I haven’t seen much regarding comparisons, experiences or what improvements either of these products can offer. I would appreciate any experiences users might share about these switches.
  14. I just saw review from Golden Sound where he reviewed a Holo Audio May KTE Wildson Version of the DAC. Anyone have any idea of what this edition is? I just ordered my May KTE DAC and I did not see Wildson as an option.
  15. Hi Joel, Are the Agane speakers going to be demoing at the Florida Audio Expo in February?

      I'm sorry to say they won't be, Vangelis, but please tell me what kind of speaker you're looking for and I'll try to tell you as honestly as I can if I think the Agane's are even worth you considering.

       

      By the way, you're welcome to e-mail if you want, at [email protected]. If not, this website is fine as well.
