Capital Audio Fest 2016
Another room I like that I forgot about was Fern and Roby great industrial design and use of natural materials and very solid sound. 
What to buy....Auralic Aries, Sony Hap-ZES, or Auralic Altair?
I just went from a Sonos Connect to an Auralic Aries Mini and really like it, the Lightning DS app is a pleasure to use and it sounds better than my Sonos. But the biggest difference to me is the Aries can run on the 5ghz band, the Sonos was stuck...

White power cords
My Cerious Technology Nano Signature pc's all have white jackets, not sure if Bob has any left, but knowing him he might be willing to make a set of his Graphene Extremes in a white jacket for you.

Dac that produces music
I have the Yamamoto YDA-1 and it is anything but sterile, I find it colorful and organic and lively sounding. A real joy to listen to if you are ok with a single input.

Can't get ipad to control Tidal on Mini
What is "the Mini"? Can you be more clear? If it is the Aries Mini just download the DS Lightning app onto your ipad and you can use it to stream Tidal. And yes the ipad is just a remote control. 
Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do?
@devilboy Ok perhaps some clarification, do you mean an Auralic Aries Mini? If so you need to download the  DS Lightning Server app from Auralic onto your ipad, and then you can control Tidal via that app. I hope that makes sense.

@devilboy How is your ipad connected to your main system? 
Can't get ipad to control Tidal on Mini
So if you mean an ipad mini yes you can run Tidal on it, mine has the Tidal app but I run Tidal via Lightning DS via my Auralic Aries Mini. And why bluetooth? Can't you just hook the mini up to your wifi?
