Hello,
i am looking for advice to upgrade the “streamer” feeding my Aries Cerat Helène DAC.
my current set-up consists in :
- a modified uptoned mac mini, acting as roon core
- a Qnap no-fan NAS, I mainly stream Qobuz but have some nice albums on the Nas
- an edison switch
- a microrendu v1 as roon endpoint
- a singxer F1 usb-spdif converter
- all powered by 2 uptone js/2, and plugged on a plixir balanced transformer
- there were some more tweaks like usb regen and regulators, but I went too far in the craziness and removed that when one box stopped working
According to forums, the upgrade of the microrendu might bring better result.
My idea is to replace the microrendu, either by a DCS network bridge, a Lumin U1 or U1 mini fed with one available uptone js/2, an auralic aries g2.1.
I don’t know what to expect compared to current set-up, and would really appreciate some feedback from those knowing these products.
Thank you !
