@ygbae please share your observations and thoughts on the SQ vs the Cascade and what Aurender are you running? (it looks like one but uncertain) ---

@Peter.Bomberg We were using Qobuz connect directly connecting to the Sentinel, and the sound was commanding. We were quite surprised at the bass for sure. I personally thought that the owner of the Sentinel may not need to play vinyl. The Sentinel is definitely on another level from the Cascade for sure. With Aurender N50, Pro-ISL sounded the best. However, since I was only there for the unboxing day, the sound would definitely be better by now, and things may have changed, so I will keep you updated. ---

Surprised and pleased to see my Block Mono SE amps in that video. ---

@ygbae Thank you for the update please keep me posted and did you have a chance to do a Renderer vs N50 comparison? I would love to know if there is a noticeable difference using Qobuz connect
