Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price...
The 205s aren’t worth the MSRP in my opinion.  They were overpriced from the start.  The DACs are just OK and people are paying big bucks for 205s based on hype, not sound 
DAC Suggestions for Aurender N100C
@mgrif104 I have compared the Aurender N100 to a Lumin U1 and the Lumin was superior. Perhaps you meant the Lumin U1MINI? If not perhaps you should upgrade your DAC or USB cable. 
Song (or music) you want played at your funeral.
Leonard Cohen - “You Want it Darker” seems like a nice song for me 
Audio racks
I love my Timber Nation Rack.  2" thick shelves and 135 pounds of solid wood.  I'm not hearing anything but the music. 
Best integrated up to $6000
I recently purchased a used Mark Levinson No 585 for under $5500. You can’t go wrong with ML gear. 
Lumin Without DAC
Just choose your connection (USB, AES/EBU, Coaxial) on the Lumin app for digital output you will use.  If using USB you won’t have to choose the digital out. 
Lumin Without DAC
I use a Lumin U1 and love it.  You won’t have any issues connecting to an external DAC. 
AURALiC ARIES G1 or G2 streamer
I owned an Auralic Aires G2, but in comparison to the Lumin U1 the U1 was better and I sold the G2. 
New Firmware Out For Sony HAPZ1 And S1 HDD Players
...and Tidal support too as well as streaming from a NAS 
Best streamer to start in computer audio
Lumin.  They have a broad range of streamers in every price range.  You can use the Lumin as a preamp too.  
Component isolation
Another t-shirt reads "Just because you explained it doesn't mean you have a clue" 
Tinnitus
@teo_audio - shameful, self promoting plugs rule! 
Sony HAP- Z1 ES music server into a DAC... is it possible?
The update to make the Sony HAPs work with external DACs has been out almost two years 
I am sure this has been discussed but want a fresh take. Mapleshade / Timbernation racks?
I have a TimberNation Rack.  Very good isolation and very solid, at 135 pounds.  I highly recommend their racks and isolation platforms. 
iPAD to DAC?
I’m using the camera kit adaptor with my iPad Pro running the latest iOS beta.  Works fine outputting via USB to a Mytek Brooklyn DAC
