System update
Just an update on my digital front end. Previously I was auditioning the Chord Hugo TT2 and the Aurender A1000.
After a week I returned both items and then decided to get the Chord. This was priced as ex-demo and so was tempting. As was feeding it by an old phone, I was looking for a sensibly priced streamer transport. I saw a second hand Bluesound Nano in local classifieds and decided to go for it - came with a separate linear PSU but as couldn’t tell any benefit am just using it as is.
The nano does sound better than my old iPhone and sound seems similar to when I fed the chord DAC from the A1000. Initially I used my usb cable but as I had an old optical cord I tested that too - I think optical sounds better so that will stay for now. Don’t want to start a cable war discussion…
Amp still needs to breathe and am trying to get longer supports to give it extra space.
Hope everyone has a good weekend. System sounds great so happy for now and enjoying the music!
