Schiit Eitr with Aurender N100H
cdc2 - I've never used a Mac Mini, so I'm not able to compare to my Aurender.  I have read comments written by others who have moved from a Mini to an Aurender and they noticed improvements.  Sonically my Aurender is superb.  I love the ease of us...

ghosthouse - The wall wart for the Eitr is tiny - much smaller than I was expecting.  its rectangular, about an inch and a half "tall" and about an inch deep.  Dave 
Schiit Eitr with Aurender N100H
I've used many of these USB-to-S/PDIF converters over the past 4 years.  I like the concept of asynchronous USB, and I also like being able to change my USB converter as technology changes, but keeping my Aurender server, sort of like changing car... 
Schiit Eitr with Aurender N100H
ghosthouse,I think the comparison between the F-1 and he Eitr is very appropriate because they both have identical functionality, and very similar prices.I've been using the F-1 for about 6 months, and it's a very good unit.   I liked the fact tha... 
Schiit Eitr with Aurender N100H
Last week I wrote to customer service at Schiit, and they offered a replacement.  I received the replacement today, and it works perfectly. Now I'm switching back and forth between files and Tidal with no issues.Dave

Any opinion or feedback on the NAIM UnitiServe or UnitiCore?
jcatral14,I had a Naim UnitiServe for a few years and I thought it was very good.  It was my first server after ditching my CD player.   It rips to .wav format which worked great, and I also liked the user interface.   The outputs are S/PDIF only ... 
Anybody have an ANK (Audio Note Kit) DAC?
tommylion,I built an Audio Note Kits DAC 4.1LE about 5 years ago.  At that time, it was full of Black Gate caps, and Brian offered Audio Note output transformers as an option.  I've upgraded it extensively over the past few years, and I am very ha... 
What is the best usb convertor
I had a Berkeley Alpha USB for a few years. I read about the tube buffer output stage in the Lampizator USB Transport, which is actually a USB-to-S/PDIF converter, and I wanted to try it. After playing them side by side for a few weeks, I decided ... 
What is you TIDAL setup?
I have an Aurender S10, and a few weeks ago Tidal streaming was added with the latest software update. So now I stream Tidal through the S10, then USB out to a Lampizator USB Transport, then to an Audio Note DAC.I have ripped over 700 CDs with XLD... 
Lampizator USB Transport vs. Berkeley Alpha USB
Sgr,Sorry for the delayed reply. After reading your comment and a few others I ordered a USB Transport and it arrived this week. I agree with your description - its an excellent converter. It is a nice improvement over the Berkeley Alpha USB.dpetr

Yes - Ben has worked on my gear several times. He's worked on my amp, pre-amp and DAC, each time with great results. I find him to be very knowledgeable and he does fantastic work. Dave
