How Is MQA Fareing?
+1 arhI am enjoying the subtle audible improvements everytime I cue up a MQA recording on Tidal and very excited about MQA prospect. Having said that, I believe most major manufacturer of DAC's are still on the fence or lagging behind which is IMO...

Aurender upgrades Tidal - MQA -Only for A10 and 20 - lesser models not worth their time
@rbstehno, Thank you for your feedback. If you would’ve read my post carefully, nowhere I said that MQA is a hardware. All I was trying to reiterate is MQA encoded files requires MQA certified hardware to properly decode the max embedded resolutio... 
Aurender upgrades Tidal - MQA -Only for A10 and 20 - lesser models not worth their time
@audioman58,Perhaps you should conduct a thorough research before you shoot down N100H which is a only a streamer, there is no internal DAC aboard N100H for MQA decoding unlike Aurender A10. In addition to A10, couple of my Mytek DAC’s and uber ex...

USB Cable: Oyaide, Cardas, Shunyata....
+1 ~ "USB is not the best interface for audio"Good recommendations here on Venom and Curious cables. If you’re not planning on replacing mini, I would look at Schitt’s Wyrd Decrapifier. It simply works in eliminating the inherit noise and glitches... 
Aurender N100H or Auralic Aries?
@hgeifman,  Thank you for taking the time to post the feedback from Aurender support. The MQA playback link above is a great resource for demystifying any ambiguity surrounding MQA file playback. I would also like to extend my 'thank you' to Dave ... 
Aurender N100H or Auralic Aries?
@dlcockrum,  Looks like its probably your Tidal desktop software setting. My DAC shows 24/96 signal when fed from Aurender. You may contact Aurender help desk, they are super helpful.  
Aurender N100H or Auralic Aries?
"James Romeyn Pure Grid Power"@hgeifman, looks like a garden variety copper cable with high quality plugs. It’s like putting formula 1 tires on a Honda Civic (no pun intended). I think you will hear audible improvements with a better PC for instan... 
Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp
"I wonder how a PL preamp would go with an ARC VS115 amp?"Pretty much any preamp or amp is universally compatible with other brands. Having said that, I am a big proponent for components synergy. When I was building my system, I tried couple of pr... 
Cable manufacturers?
@nonoise, Thank you for sharing the Cabledyne info. Have you tried their cables? I am inclined to try out their 'Virtuoso' RCA digital cable.   
Cable manufacturers?
"Anyone have any actual Information?" OP, what are you planning to do with this info?To answer your query, I believe Acrolink and Oyaide manufacture their own wire (conductor).
