CES 2015 anyone going
There is no T.H.E. Show at CES this year. They are concentrating on Newport. I have a feeling if Newport remains successful you will not see them back in VegasAlan

Exogal Comet DAC
No hype. I have had the followingSony 5400, Mytek stereo 192, Audio Note 2.1b, Teredak Chamelion. The Metrum is simply far better than the rest. If you stream a lot its USB implementation is great. If you really love music this is a wonderful prod...

I have always understood that NOS dacs are less effected by jitter than upsampling dacs. Also my Audio Note transport has no jitter reduction at all. Audio Note does not feel that jitter is really a problem with there gear.Alan 
192 from usb/spdif to NOS dac to amp
I believe the coax input of your Audio Note will only recognize 16/44 redbook. What is the resolution of these native flac files? My experience with upsampling is it really doesn't add any new information. It is just allowing you to use a differen... 
Do You Use USB for Streaming?
I have a Metrum Hex dac. For USB it uses a M2Tech interface. They power the interface internally in the dac and do not draw any power from the computer. They say this really improves the sound of the interface. So your device will probably be a go...
