Feeding Blu Mk2 Clean Roon Data
I home demoed an Auralic Aries G1 connecting to my QNAP TS-473 running Roon server feeding my Blu to as a replacement for my Logitech Squeezebox.
Depending on perspective fortunately I heard no discernible improvement in sound quality, which was surprising as I heard a definite difference when I connected to my old Squeezebox, more body and musicality, or was that distortion. I expereienced something similar when I first upgraded to the Chord DAVE, and ran it in DAC mode through my Music First Audio Magnetic passive preamplifier.
For background I have extensive isolation of my system, ferrites on the dual BNC DAVE/Blu Mk2 connection, all plugged intot he Shunyata Research Denali 6000.
Has anyone tried the iFi iUSB3, https://ifi-audio.com/products/micro-iusb3-0/ infront of the Blu, as I can imagine all sorts of electromagnetic junk being pumped out of NAS and polluting the feed to the Blu?
