Hi Resolution download - question on authencity of the files
Thank You for the thoughts folks. I am not yet ready for Tidal. For now, it looks like the CD is the best option for me. 
HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner.
bimmer100,Since you are the distributor of Kitsune DACs, have you thought of creating a "circle" on AudioCircle dot com? Once you have a good enough base, folks can use that site for Q&A, FAQs, interacting with other Kitsune products, etc.

bill_k,Thank You for the information. I was not aware of that. So how would one get the DSD stream from a universal player's "HDMI out" to a DAC like the HOLO via I2S?

I am not sure where you got that information. I hope they are not doing that. It would be a shame. But CDs don't sound bad. Well recorded CDs sound very close to SACDs.

Read the review by Ted on computeraudiophile.com. Very interesting indeed, especially since it has I2S.Bimmer,It a blu-ray player with HDMI out is connected to this DAC with a HDMI cable, will this DAC be able to process the DSD stream via I2S? Or...

Jim,Good to know that you liked the Auris. I wish more folks here would try it out instead of the expensive bluetooth DACs. They would be in for a nice surprise. My family/friends now have the ability to stream their music via bluetooth on my syst...

Jim,I have not streamed Sirius/XM from my phone. But I do stream Spotify and other apps with no dropouts.The power adapter does not come with the unit. I used a Apple 12W power adapter. You may be right that the Asus is not aPT-X compliant. How di...

That's strange. What power adapter are you using? Maybe check if your cables are too close to power sources? Not sure why this is happening in your system. 
New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP!
Hope your 2 dedicated lines are on 2 separate phase on the main box. Not sure if being on the same phase will cause your system to sound "brittle". But might have "hum" in your system.

Jim,When the Auris is not connected to any device, the blue light flashes rapidly.Once connected to a device, it flashes slowly.What are your thoughts on the Auris bluMe? 
Bud Fried Towers?
Good to know audioman58.Will love to see your system with these. I read on another thread that you sold the Revel 208 to get these. The Revels are quite impressive. What is it about these speakers that you like over the Revels? Can you please prov... 
Explain to me dsd
@unsound,Why would you not want HDMI? I am trying to understand your point.I would want HDMI to improve for the reason that I can connect a SACD player with HDMI "out" to a DSD DAC with HDMI "in".

It is USB-BT400. $12.29 on Amazon. Then fill the rebate form for $5. Can't beat the price. 
Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47?
mitch2,Can you please share your comparison of the Furutech vs Porter Port?

Jim,My laptop is Asus S400C. The bluetooth is USB-BT400. I am sure it would work with iTunes as well. I am not sure if the laptop is aptx compliant. The Aruis is. But I like the flexibility that this configuration of laptop+Auris provides. Some of...
