Cal Audio Alpha/Delta Question
Off eBay.  My Alpha has had the 96k/24 Bit upgrade but I don't think they changed the fuse. This appears to be the same as what's in mine....https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/1tUAAOSwXshWs3xM/s-l300.jpg 
Schiit - shipments stopped?
Schiit at the least should answer the darn phone and explain issues.  It's called customer service.  I would have walked a month ago, then again I would have never got involved with company who's name is a joke.

I'm pretty excited about my new room i'm building
Congratulations,  Dedicated rooms are the ultimate tweak. Wondering what the reasoning was behind the 10" concrete slab.  The tread was a fun read, I'm a retired Building Inspector and I've avoided construction since that door closed. 
How old are you?

IPhone/IPad - why do I need camera adapter to connect to DAC?
Because Apple thinks you don't need it.

Jafant, per your request: VTL 450MKII and Mcintosh C2500 pre. Not long ago I posted that I was selling my CS6 & SS1. I don’t think they will sell here, so I posted them on Facebook. After I tested the speakers before posting, I’m not as motiva...
