Malfunctioning SMSL SU-9n
Schiit left me hanging,. If you give them good money for a Modi and it fails 1+ years, tough nails. They won’t fix or replace it. I have a couple of S.M.S.L. DACs that always work, one on my TV.

If it ain't broke, fix it.  
A step to the side- Smart TV question
@markmuse The point made is that Android casts directly to most any smart TVs. iOS does not.  
A step to the side- Smart TV question
2 smart Sony’s. Bulletproof. Easier and quicker to access streaming apps than through the cable box or Roku. Instant casting via an Android phone, no stinkin' Apple TV necessary.
