Auralic, which used generation or model IPad works with Auralic app
Yes. I’ve got a 6th, 7th and 8th and they all run the current version of Lightning DS. It requires IOS 11 or later and now on IOS 14. 
Help! Trying to choose between 2 integrateds that I haven't heard to pair w/Vandersteens
If you are determined to buy an integrated then of your listed choices the Mimas or also look at the Modwright hybrid integrated however Odyssey amps and Vandersteen speakers are a great match.  An alternative would be to keep the Khartago (I ran ... 
Vandersteen 3A Signatures with 2 dB difference between L and R Speakers
Is there an opening on one side of the room that is not on the other side like a doorway?  Until you put them side by side in the center of your placement area you won't be able to get any room differences out of the equation.

@arafiq On sound alone either of the Fritz's and I own both Carrera's and C7's.   
Helping a friend build a new system
Raven Nighthawk or Prima Luna Evo integrated and Reynaud Bliss Jubilee's with their Magic Stands.  Money left for appropriate cables from Audio Envy or other quality ID company and if found to be needed a pair of small subs from SVS, HSU or Rythmi...

Lumin is constrained to the features available to them by the Tidal supplied API just like the rest of the streamer manufacturers.  I have owned streamers with different apps from four and none of them have all of the features of the desktop app a... 
Anyone drive Verity Audio Parsifal Encores with tubes?
@maguiar102 The Audia Flight integrated amps work well with the Otello's and is one of the amps he showed Verity with until Verity came out with their own electronics.  Paul doesn't sell or distribute them anymore so don't know where to look for t... 
Kinki studio EX-M1, EX-M1+ differences... vs Denafrips Hestia/ Hyperion combo?
It's for if you have a ground loop which with that combo is likely.  Like I said if you are plugging the components into a conditioner that itself is grounded then that will be fine.  If the problem does occur try the cheater on the preamp first. ... 
Kinki studio EX-M1, EX-M1+ differences... vs Denafrips Hestia/ Hyperion combo?
@jwlaudio By lifting the ground I mean using a cheater plug preferably on the preamp and if you are plugging into a grounded conditioner it won’t make a difference anyway. In the 3+ years I owned the BHK I tried it with the following amps all from... 
Anyone drive Verity Audio Parsifal Encores with tubes?
@maguiar102 If you're looking to stick with an integrated with the Otello's and want a tube like sound you might want to consider the Hybrid integrated amps from Modwright and Aesthetix.   
Kinki studio EX-M1, EX-M1+ differences... vs Denafrips Hestia/ Hyperion combo?
@jwlaudio Just a bit of info that may or may not be important to you from an owner of the BHK preamplifier for over three years.  As the F8 is a single ended amp and the BHK is fully balanced you are likely to run into two small issues.  One is yo... 
Supratek Owners Thread
All of Mick's remotes are 3rd party so just get a simple one you like and get the setup code from him.  $10 or so on Amazon. 
Aqua hifi La Voce s3.....anyone audition it yet?
I agree with grannyring as I have owned both versions of the La Voce.  The S3 upgrade is worth every penny.  If you haven't read Dave Abramson's review of the S3 as opposed to the S2 and the PSA Directstream after he got his back from the upgrade.  
Holo Audio Spring 3 DAC
@audioman58 And last month you said the Audio GD R8 Mk II was the great bargain DAC.  This month Briscati.  I guess September will have you touting something different.  
Kinki studio EX-M1, EX-M1+ differences... vs Denafrips Hestia/ Hyperion combo?
@regismc For now the #1 speaker is the Verity Otello but I still have all of the others between two houses in two different states.  The Verity's are driven by either the BHK 250 or the Kinki EX-M7 with the Supratek Chardonnay. The Nola KO's give ...
