Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD

I Googled the Cantata to learn about it. The Ethernet is used as a method to extend the range of USB (using pont neuf), so this not really Ethernet DLNA or other protocols. Even when a router is used, the Ethernet is used simply as an extension for USB asynchronous protocol to gain greater distance.

I'll check on that with Steve, but I don't use the pont neuf and used DLNA with it. Will report on that later.
Thanks for the response.

The important thing is that two decent audiophile players support DLNA, namely Jriver and Audirvana+

Doesn't foobar also support DLNA? That was the one that I used while I was experimenting with the ethernet input, apart from Jriver.

Great observations Matt.  Thanks for doing that.  I hope that we can also get the HRS footers to see if the extra price also means better sound.  Sometimes, as well know, it actually does, but not always.  What often looks like the same materials or the same implementation isn't.  

As we have said, the Stillpoints and HRS hard footers are usually better than the others out there to many folks who have actually done head to head comps.  All too often we read posters or dealers telling us that they have a giant killer etc.. and they really may not since they only know what they sell and they use the words the company wants them to use.  

That's teh cool thing about what you are doing.  You really don't have a dog in the fight unless it's something you have already owned.  You may want to like your's better, but I also know that you are one of the few who can separate ownership and thinking your's is better.  Wiht footers or platforms, you also have to take into consideration the stands you use them on etc...  As you have already posted, there is no be all end all here and folks need to get these devices in their own systems to see which they like best.

Matt what tracks do you use to test all the gears?

Brittany Spears - Oops I did it again
Flock of Seagulls - SpaceAge Love Song
The Wiggles - Hot Potato
Abbot & Costello - Whose on First
Clint Eastwood plays the Clasics - Chopsticks

Sorry. I couldn’t help myself. 

I’ll post the real lost tomorrow. I’m too tired to think anything but silly now. 😜
