Which Transport or CD Player?
Well obviously things have changed since then.  
Which Transport or CD Player?
I would suggest you take the time to read through the RS2 thread and then decide if you want to deal with the quality control and delivery issues they have been having for almost a year.  You will find no such complaints about the Jays units.    ... 
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
@temmple     I have owned and used both. The Lavricable while it may be excellent if used will prevent you from plugging in an external drive of any type.as it will occupy both USB slots if that matters to you.  I've owned the Supr...

By the time you find out and circle back to inform him you may just be out a good bit of money. That's on you not the neighbors who are already there.

If that's what Aune recommends for their unit then buy one for the DAC but I would stick with the LHY for the Zen Stream as the 9 volts from the Aune is not enough. Does that plan actually save you any money though?  
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
@temmple    Not at that house right now but looks right to me.  
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
@smrex13    When you bring up an album to play you should see a forward button in the middle of the album cover.  To play the whole album hit that button and not the first song in the track list.  As to mConnect and the DLNA setting just another...

@temmple  I'm using the Canare upgraded cable from Ghent Audio.  They also have a higher priced cable called the Gotham.  Several of the ID cable companies like Audio Sensibility and Wywires will also make DC cables.

@smrex13    Put it back on option one the all in one option and then re-boot it.  Should find it then.  Doesn't seem to like the specialized setting.   
Aqua LaScala MkII NUC question
Their own streamer the LinQ doesn't have the option of USB.  Their output options are single and dual AES, SPDIF and their proprietary RJ45 connection I2S.  With the La Voce S3 the AES was to me the clearly better sounding input and as I don't do ... 
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
In the setup of mConnect (top left corner)  you have to tell it to play to the Zen Stream otherwise it will just play to the control point.  If you have to turn them both off and then back on Zen Stream first and after it is booted up completely t... 
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
The barrel is 5.6 -2.1 and the pin polarity on the GX12-2 plug is pin 1 positive.  That is pretty much industry standard on the polarity.  The choice comes down to 2.5 or 2.1 on the barrel.  Both will actually work though the 2.1 is a snugger fit.... 
IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz
No idea.  All four of the cables I have used have just worked including the ones included with the power supplies.  It is just industry standard I would guess.  Why all the concern about the barrel connector?

Aqua LaScala MkII NUC question
My understanding has always been than it only works with the La Diva transport and their streamer.  Might be able to use it with other RJ45 based gear if you had a specialty cable made matching the pin outs on both ends.  Several people have done ...
