Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC?
Nice DAC.  Yeah, if you want to be sure any I2S source will work with your DAC it’s best to forward the pin configuration to your DAC manufacturer and they’ll be able to tell you if it’ll work.  It’s bit of a PITA not having a standard, but it see... 
From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion
You’ve got a nice tube DAC, and if you like its sound I think you’re gonna be disappointed with a DS DAC.  If that’s the case I’d look for another solution.   
Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC?
That doesn’t look like it outputs an I2S signal. Since there’s no set I2S standard I’m finding it’s not easy to know if an converter will be compatible with your DAC.  I’ve unfortunately been down that road and have decided to eventually go with s...

Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?
@jerryg123 What state are you from?  Sure California has its problems being the largest state in the union, but they still manage to pay more into the Federal government than they take in unlike the vast majority of government money-sucking states...

Oppo service
It’s amazing — and also a bit sad — that Oppo, despite being out of the audio hardware business, still provides better service than many audio companies who still sell products. I just shot them an email regarding a question I asked in another pos... 
Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?
Of course, there is every reason to believe that you support the people of the Ukraine, and with no malice or self interest...but there is the added point... that it does do you good, business wise, to ’support the current thing’, by coming into ...

Wait, so Oppo is still doing repairs?  
Oppo DV-970HD digital out question
Thanks @yage That’s a good thought and although I thought I tried that I’ll give it another shot.    
A preamp recommendation
I’ll look into Bryston BP26, but I’ve found past Bryston components on the sterile side, but it’s been decades. Bryston’s “sound” has evolved quite a bit over the years, and while I agree their older amps were a bit thin and sterile sounding I ... 
Suggestions for RF wireless headphones
I think the easiest recommendation would be to move up the Sennheiser line as there aren’t a ton of options in the RF headphone space. The RS175 is probably the best choice in terms of sound/features/price and a huge step up over what you have now...
