Audio Research DAC 9
I'm using a Transparent BNC from the Aurender N10 to the Dac9. I use a Transparent AES XLR from my Esoteric to the Dac9 for red book CD's. I use a Transparent AES XLR from the N10 to my Oppo HA-1 headphone amp. Aurender told me when you use USB along with other digital outs, there can be a clocking issue, so I'm using the clock inside the N10 with awesome results. When I first hooked up the USB from the N10 to Dac9, it wouldn't play. The Dac9 has an issue seeing the USB from both my Aurender. Not an issue for me, as the other digital outs work brilliantly. Plus I have no DSD files, so not an issue. Anyway, if I did, the N10 converts DSD to PCM.
Audio Research is aware of the Aurender/Dac9 compatibility issue and are working on a fix. Even when they do come up with a fix, I doubt I'll use USB!
