PS Audio Redcloud release/thoughts?
Red Cloud replaced Huron which in my system and to my ears was way better than Red Cloud. Red Cloud was very analytical and somewhat bright to me. I recently installed the new Snowmass firmware and it's Excellent. It's like a marriage between Huro...

Aurender N10 - Sound quality performance is erratic
.....The first session after I put the loaner in the system was all-time good. Then the next day wasn't all that great. Then the next two days were good but no great. Anyway, this is just weird. Both N10s appear to exhibit this erratic behavior....

Esoteric K-01x player - 34 bit digital processing
With all due respect, I’d prefer the digital experts at Esoteric to hardwire what they believe is best for their units. Plug, play and keep it simple.I couldn’t agree more. I used to have a K-01 and I found it sounded best with upsampling set to "...
