Help with Denafrips Iris 12th to Ares 12th-1 - I2S, no audio
Try a better hdmi cable, as short as possible.  I have the iris , tried it with Pontus and used a supra hdmi 10 inch long and it just worked without any changes to any settings.   
Will one cable upgrade make a noticeable difference?
In one word,  maybe . Latest wtf moment was when I tried a new usb cable.  Big improvements!  
Streamer for LTA Aero
Whatever you do , don't try the zenith ng because after that you don't want anything else... I'm trying to forget the experience and just keep on enjoying my pulsar..  
Should I add a DDC?
Since everyone is having an opinion I want to share mine aswell.  I don't understand why you got the eversolo if you don't use it as a standalone unit with the internal dac. So I would get a dedicated streamer and the DDC of your choice to feed P... 
DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ??
I would have to agree with mr JB in this . you are kind of looking at the same DAC in different clothes , and before you have listen ... I guess you get the point! my friend came by today and had his pontus II 15th ed with him to compare with my ...

Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far
Have you tried running the eversolo internal dac straight to amp ?  ( my personal experience with the A6 have been concluded in another post,it's not positive. ) I know you loose the benefits of M scaler TT2 combo but it might solve your problem...

they are not cheap here in the eu I can only imagine the price point in the states .. I paid about $8k inc tax here in sweden . ( and yes the look is something you get used to , but the sound and image is superb.)

to reply Jon , the sound differs a bit from the other avantgardes since its more like a source point . ( I know its not a source point its a MTM config ) in most parts you they sound very much avantgarde but in a smaller package and you need to ...
