I should have a chance to listen to the Infigo Audio IS-1 Streamer and Method 4 DAC in the next couple of weeks. I use Infigo Audio Signature XLRs and USB cable.

I'll send Mark Cole with Antipodes Audio an email. His customer service is outstanding.

I have a Antipodes Oladra, so I'm interested in when the upgrade will take place and how it will be implemented?

audiojacks, I currently use a Chord Dave DAC. Prior to the Dave I had a PS Audio Directstream, Bricasti M1 SE, Jeff Rowland Aeris, and a Rockna Signature DAC. I prefer the Dave to the aforementioned DACs. Hearing the DCS Rossini APEX in my system...

Sorry for any misunderstanding, but I didn’t ask for the dealers opinion about my system. I let my wife’s ears(she hears better than me and is honest about what she hears), my ears, and how much I want to spend determine what to purchase. I usuall...
