Yes, things are moving along really well. But, no talk until I have it nailed.

I really like the thought of it being an airplay device, that would be so convenient.

  A DAC with AirPlay? Why not directly connected (via somekind of wire)?

Airplay sounds better.  Way better and you don't even have to go lossless.  Amazing what happens when you remove the wire.  One of the overlooked "secrets"/protocals in digital playback.  Airplay is shockingly good and is so much better than wired from iphone/ipad to Apple approved dac (i.e., Foster HP1).  If Cavalli can do it it will be a first in portable dac/amp and I will be forced to bite.

Wireless better than Wired ??? 

   Interesting !

Airplay is lossless.

I don't know if it's actually better. It is better than bt, as it has much better range.

I would definitely say that airplay is definitely more convenient

I'm still really hoping this is an amp only. Don't want the dac.

No, not always.  But, airplay sounds better than wired via lightning out from iphone/ipod/ipad to apple compatible dac.  And even for redbook lossless in home computer stereo system; airplay to dac is better than source usb to dac.  Try it out for yourself.  Apple tv is only $99.00. Though you do need a decent router.

Apple TV won't do lossless bit perfect CD playback, everything is converted to 48khz I believe. The airport express does 44.1

 

[dexterash]

How's the DAC/AMP project going on?
 
48khz in audiophile? Should that be normal?

 

[zerodeefex]

According to facebook, a prototype will be at CanJam!!!

Good news.

O darn, darn.  And I just pulled the trigger on an Analog2Paper TUR-06 hybrid portable amp.

Please don't have any regrets as the TUR-06 is a fine sounding portable amplifier and confers immense pleasure on ownership.

It's all about timing.  I'd have liked to support my homeboy Alex.
 
But I have full expectations with the TUR-06, hence the trigger.

Can we at least know whether its discrete or opamps?
