Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line?
@fthompson251  Nice! Glad to hear you like the amp! Keep me posted on USB cable please. Hope it arrives soon!  
Need new pre amp
Consider Audio Research LS or Ref series if you want tubes and XLR. No phono stage though.

@rvpiano  yes it has excellent separation, layering and dynamics. Hope you’re using the Critical Listening Mode which shuts off display and other non-essentials. The difference is subtle but audible.       
Preamp or DAC
@backdoor if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Keep the coda pieces.  I’d just get a great DAC if I were you. Look into MSB Discrete, Bricasti M21 (has R2R and Delta Sigma plus different filter options).  With Aurender N20 the best interface will be A... 
Ethernet Switch
Netgear will be just fine. But…can you use one of the router outputs to drive the signal to your audio room and just use switch for all other stuff? If so, it’ll be worth trying.   
Preamp or DAC
What are some of the shortcomings of the Coda 07 preamp? I have the CSiB integrated in my system now and am just curious since the CSiB is essentially a combo of 07 preamp and 0.8 amp

@rvpiano I’m assuming you’re using the stock Aurender USB cable which is fine. Whenever you’re ready, there’s more to be had with better USB and better power cord if you’re using stock. Again no rush …the stock USB is decent.

You haven’t seen Lumin app. Looks like a high school project compared to Conductor

@rvpiano you can set airplay volume to max on ipad or iPhone and control the volume with your preamp. That’s how I run it in airplay mode.

@mclinnguy thank you! I was afraid it would be a significant step down from my Pass Labs XP-22 and X260.8 but it’s not a step down at all! I’m extremely pleased with the sonics of this Coda amp

@jafant I picked up Coda CSiB V1 and to say that I’m impressed would be an understatement!
