Handling Heavy Amps
You just work out the details with the buyer or generate an invoice thru us audiomart. Pretty easy.   
Apple lossless as a source
There’s a Octo dac8 Stereo that was highly praised in a stereophile review. You can add streaming as an option to it. My guess is you will have a network renderer in the dac8 that will allow you to use Mconnect to stream qobuz. I think the paid ve... 
Handling Heavy Amps
@jfrmusic congratulations on your new amp! So do you think you’re done or is there anything else that’s on a chopping block?  
Apple lossless as a source
You can airplay apple music from your iPhone or iPad to a streamer that supports airplay. It’s a better option than Bluetooth. Honestly in that system you are unlikely to suffer a significant sonic degradation. If you want something better you wou... 
Roon vs OS and Native Players - Impact on SQ?
When I owned Auralic Aries G1 I compared Roon to Lightning DS. I cancelled Roon subscription. I restarted it later in with Lumin U1 Mini and actually preferred Roon over the native Lumin software in both sonics and UX. It depends on the design an... 
Streamer only
If 585 is Roon ready you may not need a streamer to try out streaming with Qobuz. You’ll need a computer where you can install Roon and make that your core machine. Free trial for 30 days. Yes additional subscription cost after but at this price p... 
Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable
Yeah go take a hike. Great idea.   
Aurender Conductor V4 issues
It most likely is the issue. I have a feeling everyone reporting conductor 4 issues on their ipad or iPhone is using an old device with an old, no longer supported OS.

@dwest1023 is your iPhone on the latest OS version? If not I would start there. I use iPad and iPhone. No issues.   
Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable
He’s a troll. Just ignore him. People like that don’t own anything worthy of discussing here - all they do is envy and try and talk themselves out of even attempting to believe cables make a difference because they don’t or can’t purchase any of t... 
Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable
I compared Tyr to Tyr 2 XLR cables. Tyr is a fast and detailed sounding interconnect but can sound slightly thin. Tyr 2 maintains all the best qualities of the original but is rounder, more organic and has better definition in the low end. I now h... 
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
@lalitk did all that a while back. Registered. It’s fine thanks though. I thought I would miss Roon more than I do…not a big deal.   
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
Bummer. We keep waiting then….  
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
@lalitk I did that a while ago. No dice.

I compared DH Labs D750 spdif to Aurender USB and preferred USB. And the DH cable is a really well made and good sounding digital interconnect. To me USB sounds better but definitely try both.
