You have an incredible system that let every component shine as they are.
Now i'm running from a N100H but i'm still researching to improve my source.
I'm basically streaming from Tidal and i'm looking for a good source to streamer services.
What output are you using (USB, XLR, COAX)?
What transport were you using before the Aurender?
Have you started a new thread with the REL Subs commentaries?
Regards.
Hi,

I'm using the W20's USB output to my upsampler and then Dual AES to the DAC. Before I put the W20 in the system I was using a Mac Mini running Audirvana. Before that, a dCS transport. I can't offer a comparison to the transport as it has been several years since I spun a disk. The difference between Mac Mini and W20 was dramatic. Much quieter background, better imaging, more percussive piano and drums.

The Rel G1 is noticeable only very slightly in the music I play. Sounds best with organ music where it does rock the room. I've only ever had one sub, this one so I can't really offer any useable comparisons. What I noticed when it was integrated with my M3's was a much more gutsy kick drum and better bass in an orchestral piece where the bass blended better with the other instruments.

Hope that helps.

Cincy
