Pontus ii and Hi Res
MQA is a scam. Redbook is fine. Apparently you are overpaying for Tidal. You are not alone. Virtually no one can pass the AIX HiRez test to identify it.  At least you started streaming at the right place. Do you know how to Google?:    
New DAC or New Streamer?
Streamer first, whichever one does what you want and makes you happy. .Just remember that you give up any chance of Roon with Aurender.  
Qobuz acount activation error BlueSound Node
No Not on BliuOS or 5 others. Sounds like a typical login problem. Get a new password. A remote chance is Qobuz put up a broken update for the login page. Email them. Thanx for the heads up, I won’t log out. As an example couldn’t log into my ... 
can you download yamaha steinberg usb driver to my Ipad 7
Apple’s unix claims to not need ANY drivers. That said they often do nothing with non Apple equipment. Last nite my partner wanted to show me a You Tube vid from her iPhone over the TV last night. All she needed was an Apple TV box and about 15 m... 
USB yet again
True words @carlsbad On some DACs the inputs sound different with whatever cables you have so "experimenting" is warranted. Or change DACs. I have a cheap one the sounds identical on Coax and USB while inferior on Toslink.      
Holy crap!!
No  
Egg carton for soundproofing?
But they are great for decorating.  
What's the oddest thing in your music collection?
A R2R tape recorded in a Chgo club that was given to me in the 70s. Folksinger Jenny Clements, quite good, no trace of her on the WWW. Maybe she married the bass player and changed her name permanently like Christine Perfect.  
Experiences with the Degritter RCM
@vinylvalet  Exactly. Why consider anything pricier for a part time appliance?  
USB yet again
Hopefully the industry comes up with a better solution. This "problem" has been solved in the marketplace (by Ted Smith) for at least 8 years. Sorry you missed it.  
AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection
Analog might work OK  I don't see ANY comparisons inquired about in the responses. Just try it   
Advantage using one electrical leg for audio system?
Put all the circuits with motors etc on the "other" leg. Or keep as is and switch every other breaker OFF. No forced heat or A/C for you. Maybe cleeds will pay to have an electrician do it for you.  
Hi Res from iPhone vs AppleTV sound
Happy HolyDaze to you too @soix   
Springsteen. Only the Strong Survive
I think that I respect Bruce but I haven't heard anything since Born To Run that sounds any different. Not for me please.  
AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection
110 is only the design parameter. The analog XLR will probably work well. No risk to try. The only valid SQ comparison has to be done by you. Get some digital cables with return privileges and happy listening. As an anecdote an Audio Envy analog...
