Thanks for the tip. I will have a look!

Thanks for the tips. I still need an integrated or a real preamp rather than a DAC pretending to be one because I need at least one analog input. I think I am just going to have to live with the NuPrime's DoP for DSD files and will have to keep HQPlayer in the PCM realm.

Reviewing that list, I see that nearly every DAC on it that plays Native DSD does so over "USB (ASIO)," including my NuPrime IDA-8. If that is the case, I wonder when, if ever, the Zen Streamer plays Native DSD into a DAC since, to my understanding, Linux can't use ASIO. I guess this is the...

Amazing resource, @Mr BubbaHyde! Thank you very much!

Definitely in my price range. Let me explore compatability in greater detail. (My NuPrime was advertised as "Native DSD" in the promotional literature, but the FAQs buried in the bowels of the website set out the caveat that it only is Native DSD with ASIO drivers.)

Thank you, sir.

Integrated amp to power KEF LS50's. Preferably in same price range and of similar quality to NuPrime IDA-8.

Thanks. Horses for courses, though. I now own at least three DACs that can play Native DSD, but I want an integrated for a system that has to fit into a small cabinet at a vacation home. I am using a NuPrime IDA-8 there to pretty good effect, but it only plays DoP from the Zen Streamer and the...

Can anyone recommend an integrated amp that has a USB DAC input to which the Zen Streamer can play Native DSD? My NuPrime IDA-8 and some others at which I have looked require Windows or Mac drivers for Native DSD playback over USB. Considering that Linux renderers and endpoint software's are...

Right you are, Sajunky. That never occurred to me, because I never had seen that before, but that is the explanation.

Okay, I figured it out. The bluetooth antenna was preventing me from getting leverage as I pried the holder outward with a screwdriver. Reorienting it for the moment allowed me to get the holder out. It turns out there are TWO fuses in there, values unspecified. That just doubled the cost...

Thanks for this info about the fuse amperage as I have been looking for it as well. A Synergistic Orange did wonders for the treble of my main system and I have been wondering if it might have a beneficial effect on the D90, which I moved to my desktop system because I found it irritatingly...

I bought a used M-Audio Audiophile USB for about $75 on eBay a few months ago and use it with my MacBook Pro at the office, running into a Musical Fidelity tube buffer and then into Klipsch iFi's. Since most of the music on my hard drive is at 192 bps or thereabouts, my application is not...
