Recommendations for music network player
You can get the Power Supply box from SOtM as well. It's $500 and plugs directly into the SMS 200 Ultra which is $1200. As for the SSD, well that's just an external hard drive that you can get anywhere that you put your music onto. People have sai...

One could also check out the SOtM SMS 200 Ultra at 1/2 cost of the Aurender N100h. Only thing is, it needs a good power supply and an external SSD. 
Aurender N100h vs. SOtM sms-200 Ultra
It seems the SOtM sms200 ultra and the Aurender N100h are essentially the same thing except the SOtM has no internal hard drive or power supply, but is less than half the cost of the Aurender. I already have a 1TB SSD and external power supply so ... 
Sonic Tonic fom the Tweek Geek
Not only does it cost a lot to get a patent, but enforcing it from being "knocked off" is almost impossible for the "little guy". 
Aurender N100h vs. SOtM sms-200 Ultra
ferenc - Is there a consumer product that will read from an SS drive that will be controlable through an itype device and output to a DAC that uses this type of interface? Please provide more specific actual products as I don't know what you are t... 
Wrong way to clean a stylus!
Oh well, sorry to hear about your misfortune, but if you're looking for support through numbers, I still recall driving home from a bicycle club ride and hitting the garage door remote to whip right in like Batman into his "Bat Cave". Only thing I... 
Aurrender N100H vs. A10 ?
Thanks for those links.As it turns out, after 14 years I needed a new car. So my hi-fi budget will be curtailed for a while. I'm going to keep my eye on the N100h as well as the SOtM SMS 200 Ultra which looks interesting as well.John 
Which audio component would you like Santa to place under the christmas tree for you?
Wait!!  I want those new giant Wilson Chronosomethings. Then I could sell them, buy a Ferrari and have lots of "chicks" hanging on my arm. OK maybe this gets deleted, but I did start with the speakers.Happy Holidays to all. 
Aurender N100h vs. SOtM sms-200 Ultra
Blindjim... you asked if my SSD was a network drive?It is a 1TB SSD with WAV and FLAC files on it that plugs directly into my Auraliti PK90 file player by USB connection in the rear. It would be used in the same way on the Aurender, or SOtM.Also m... 
Aurrender N100H vs. A10 ?
I'm really only interested in the N100h. I was just wondering if the A10 is a N100h with a built in DAC?Thanks 
Yggy RCA Interconnects
I had the same problem, but the Yggy has 2 sets of RCA outputs. I checked with Schiit and they said they were directly connected together in parallel. So put the left in one set and the right in the other. It works fine. 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
I would think the Legacy Focus SE are way more expensive, unless you compare used to new DI. Either way, the Legacy is better than the DI. I have heard both. The DI are an OK full range for their price, but comparing them to the Focus SE is not re... 
Power Conditioner Advice please...
I wasn't sure, so I just checked the PS Audio site. Their old re generators put out balanced power, but the newer P-3,5,10 do not. Paul feels that balanced power is good, but not from a transformer. Anyway, I'm not looking to butt in here, but sin...

Sonic Tonic fom the Tweek Geek
Ozzy... how would you compare the Sonic Tonic to those small copper resonator things? The ones you made from fly fishing parts. I only ask because I have always respected you opinion (especially on the BSG-QOL) I made some of those resonators, and...
