How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable
@carlsbad2 There’s an Ethernet input on Bricasti.   
How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable
@bigby there are adopters for everything. However, these adapters aren’t made with high quality audio signal in mind. Worth trying if you’re so dedicated to doing it. You can return the adapter if it’s not good.    As to DSD128 vs. Qobuz…I find D... 
How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable
@bigby I own M3. the network card in the Bricasti is capable of DSD128 native. To use Bricasti native DSD processing set DSD setting to NDSD. You will be streaming DSD128 via network and the DAC will handle it.  Otherwise if you have and want to ...

Lumin U2 or Aurender N200
@lalitk one annoying aspect of streamers, Aurender included, is that the artwork for most of the music library isn’t being displayed. This is despite the fact that the jpg images are located in the correct folders. So the metadata is neither being...
