If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly
That is how I see it too. 
Schiit - shipments stopped?
@fuzztone - I bought a refrigerator a couple of months ago....should I call them back and get the extended warranty?  It is (almost) full of beer, a commodity that doesn’t seem to have been affected by COVID, thank goodness.

@cal3713 6 - My communication from Benjamin was that lead time would be 6-8 weeks if ordered prior to the holidays and as much as 8-12 weeks if ordered after.  It sounds as if the wide range is 6-12 weeks, depending on demand.  If somebody is inte...

@veroguy - I am glad to hear you are enjoying your EVO.  I am (sort of) an EVO owner....I just haven't received it yet.  Did you previously own a v3?  I would be curious to hear how the EVO improves on the v3 since I will be sending my v3 in to Be...

A couple of years ago I read an article by Michael Lavorgna at AudioStream that presented a method of optical isolation involving two TP Link Ethernet/Optical converters and a short optical cable.  Total parts are less than $100.  I run the Ethern...

Thank you @cal3713 for the information and reminder on digital cable length.I don't want to go too crazy with changes just now with the EVO coming in month or so but I am interested in hearing recommendations for both digital cables and Ethernet c...

@ddafoe There are so many variables, I would not be much help.  In my system, for USB I come directly out of the USB port of the Antipodes DX G3 server with a 1M USB cable.  For S/PDIF, I run 9 feet of Ethernet from the DX to a Metrum Ambre conver...

Been playing with USB cables here.  After using I2S for so long, I forgot how much USB "stuff" I had accumulated that I could try.  Cables by Totaldac, Curious, and Wireworld, plus the dual run Gemini cable by ifi.  I also have the W4S Recovery, i...

I have worked things out with Benjamin and have taken the plunge on a new Mojo Mystique EVO B4B 21 (in the 2020 chassis). The wait would be more difficult except that he is letting me keep my Mv3 trade-in unit until after I receive the new EVO DAC...

@thaluza - It sounds like we are getting pretty much the same thing and the same deal.  I did not want to add a bunch more upgrade options since there are several of the former 2020 model upgrades that come stock with the 2021 model, but I am addi...

@cal3713 I do like the Mojo Mystique V3.  The attributes that set this one apart for me include its fleshed-out, natural-sounding tonality, excellent dynamics, and hard-hitting bass, which probably results from the overbuilt power supply.   The so... 
Should I use Speaker Spike / Isolation Base or Something?
So many posters with the absolute best solution.  If you look, you can find positive reviews for many types of solutions, from both on-line or print publications and from hobbyists on forums such as this.  At the end of the day, you should trust y...
