About those speakers and their coonection.
I'm reading about these Cardas Cygnus rocket high price cables and although I would never buy any rca cable that expensive I was just curious if they sound really sound magical.

And speaking of rca interconnect audio cables, I've already got some Van Damme OFC ones.
Do you think some of these cheap cinese cables would be better?

I think that the Van Damme are pretty good.
Stay as you are.

OK!

I notice the MQA led is changing from blue to green at some songs on Tidal.
Any of you knows what does it mean?
Nice sound anyway, just seems a little warmer than my previous D10s/E30 ii.

I'm pretty happy so far and even if it's still early I hope I'll be fully satisfied with the device.
It ain't small, just the perfect size for my desktop, a little smaller than my previous K9 Pro (which is imho nice) and the volume pot is not bad.
Again, two more "issues" some people dislike are just fine for me.
The power switch I can operate it easily (don't have big hands).
And the device's temperature which is (contrary to what some said) perfect, just fine, only a tiny bit warm, way less than the K9 Pro ESS for instance.

But there's this power supply I don't like at all. Looks small, too small, cheap and its 12v cable even cheaper.
It's the only downside for me so far but anyway, the external psu's are expendable, replaceable.
So yeah, looking to buy the one from Fiio or another linear power of 50/60W from ebay.co.uk.
What's the exact size of the 12v connector?

I think this might do the job better:

And without robbing the bank.

Looks great but expensive for budget folks. Any plans to update Aurora ? Removing MQA and making it cheaper or modernizing it with screen and accurate volume pot ? Do you guys have authorized dealer in Turkey ?

I'd like to know that too

Small update on the Aurora's psu, in the end I decided that I didn't like to spend extra money for a hifi audiophile grade expensive psu (also because I had to pay about £90 extra for duty tax when I've received it). So I just bought this one from amazon (arrived today from Germany):

Versus the smaller Cisco from Yulong:

Now maybe it's a little early and / or a bit of a placebo effect but I seems even more powerful and definitely a little brighter (for my HD 6xx which is just sweet).

BTW, the connector seems to be a 2.5mm instead of 2.1mm but it's working fine.
And no power cable, I just had a spare new one from my pc.

Guys, a question about the Aurora after using it: do you guys let the device on after turning the computer off ? If not (turn the switch OFF on the back of the device), what about the PSU ? Is it ok to let it on the wall (blue light ON) all the time or should I turn the Aurora' switch OFF on the back of the device AND unplug the PSU from the wall everytime I stop using it ?
I plan to use this amp for many years and really would like to avoid any harm to it.

I usually switch the power off from the little switch on the back but leave everything plugged and with the led on, same goes for my pc, two monitors and pretty much everything (although their idle leds are different).
I wouldn't worry much about the little psu, it's easily replaceable and imho with something even better.

Sorry for the late reply, unfortunately, no there are no new plan on the budget unit and MQA only cost less then 10$ there will not be a big price different.

You are the first person to come out with that answer some products with mqa and non-mqa versions have price differences like 50-100 dolars so I always assumed licence costed much more

don't tell anyone shhhhh

Does anyone have an alternative to the Fiio PL50 that also sells on Ali and works well with Aurora ?
I want to buy one but it simply isn't available on the 100-120v. (I looked many times on the last few weeks)
I asked Fiio about it and they just ignored me, so....

Maybe this: https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005004822737786.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2bra
Or this, as @arrow0309 noted above: https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/32975237936.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2bra
Which option to choose ? 12v or 15v (first option only have 12v tho, is it enough) ?

I'm noticing some hizz on my Arya Stealth, I hope it's a PSU issue that can go away with a change for a new and better one.....
