Any comments on AES/EBU XLR digital cable VS. BNC Cable
SimAudio reports “The BNC connection is using the SPDIF path like the coax and optical, so AES/EBU is still the best sounding digital input for the SimAudio 380D DSD DAC”.  I am keeping my AES/EBU connections.  Thanks.   
Bricasti M3
Please see this Bricasti M3 DAC article from the Home Theatre Review:"If you don’t have $10,000 to drop on a DAC, though, rest easy. Or at least easier. Bricasti just announced the release of its new Model 3--a more affordable solution that noneth...

Is OPPO worth the inflated price?
The OPPO UDP-205 player unit is not worth $3,500 (IMHO). Why did OPPO discontinue the OPPO UDP-205? 
Auralic vs Aurender
@wjt3,  As I stated above, I recommend the Aurender N10 music server for its excellent sound quality, build quality and an easy to use interface that makes finding your music simple.   The Aurender Conductor App enables me to quickly find the albu... 
Dac hookup....

Radio Paradise in FLAC
It works. I am streaming Radio Paradise “FLAC” to my Aurender N10 server using Apple AirPlay (from my iPad).  As was suggested by Aurender customer support, I increased the iPad’s volume to the maximum.  Music sound quality is very good.  I am l...

RadioParadise streaming FLAC
@lg1,  Thanks for the info.  I cannot get it to play so I will email Aurender for help.  Their Conductor App has a tab to stream to the Aurender from my iPad but it is not working.  I must have a setting that is not set correctly.  Thanks.  
RadioParadise streaming FLAC

RadioParadise streaming FLAC

RadioParadise streaming FLAC
@jbuhl, Thanks.   Unfortunately, Radio Paradise FLAC Streaming is not available on my Aurender N10 Music Server.   As I understand it, RP needs to make an API available to Aurender so they can build an interface to stream RP FLAC.  I emailed RB ye...
