Innuos Statement Review
@AudioTroy,  Thank you for your above comments.   You stated above "that the reason that many modern DAC's ONLY offer Ethernet or USB  is really simple:  asynchronous data transmission and Ethernet packed data are the best ways of minimizing jitte... 
Innuos Statement Review
As posted above, the Innuos Statement only has USB and Ethernet outputs. Based on my listening experiments, going back and forth between an USB and an AES/EBU connections, I prefer the AES/EBU connection for the best sound quality in my "audio sys...

Lumin App-Qobuz Question
@tuberist, Thank you for emailing Qobuz and requesting an API for sort options by artist, etc.  I was a beta tester for Qobuz and have been requesting this capability since I started testing earlier this year.  I know they are working on the API b... 
Lumin App-Qobuz Question
My Aurender Conductor App using Qobuz also does not sort my favorite albums by artist name. Unfortunately, the issue is that Qobuz needs to build an API so Aurender (and others) can build the required coding for album sorting options.  Maybe the L... 
Tidal WiFi not as good as cd
I have one more suggestion.  Previously, I had similar sound quality issues, signal dropouts, sound distortion and discovered it was my Linksys router.  Under some conditions, it would drop the cable signal.  Linksys said they were working on the ...

Tidal WiFi not as good as cd
Tidal, Qobuz, etc. sound quality will work using a Wi-Fi connection (maybe) but the sound quality using a wired connection will be much better. My Aurender N10 server is connected to my router using a wired connection and the streaming sound quali... 
Tidal WiFi not as good as cd
As posted above, I also stream Tidal and Qobuz and the sound quality is excellent. Any streaming service (Tidal, QoBuz, etc) requires a fully operational network. This means your modem, router, cable signal being in range, cable junction boxes, IS...

I recommend you consider the Ayre CODEX DAC.  It is excellent and its cost is $1,999.   Please see:https://www.ayre.com/products/digital/codex/It operates as a DAC or a Preamp/DAC.   It only has a USB and Toslink inputs.  I strongly recommend you ... 
Bricasti M3
Bricasti M3 DAC Upgrade Options:Network Player Card + $1,000.00 Remote Control + $500.00 I think the Bricasti M3 DAC headphone option is $800 but this needs to be confirmed.  
Aurender MQA update worth it?
Yes.  I also upgraded my Aurender N10 Music Server to use the MQA option.    I recommend you do it.   
Denafrips Terminator vs other dacs
Based on the above posts, the T+A DSD 8 DAC seems to be a recommended DAC. I like that the DAC 8 has separate power supplies for its digital and analog circuits, and uses galvanic isolation to further limit any unwanted interaction between the two...
