Looks like you've done what I'm considering to do: go wireless.
Would I be correct in thinking that your Auralic is used to stream from your music platform of choice? I've been looking at the Yamaha WXC-50 instead of the Auralic. Have you simply connected it via TOS/COAX to your TA?
I'm currently streaming Deezer via a first gen iPad Air to the TA's rear USB input.

My Auralic has a build in 4 TB ssd that holds all my music plus a native full mqa enabled Tidal client all controlled by a really good app on my iPhone. It can also access various off board storage locations though I’ve never tried it, I bought it specifically because it can have on board storage. It is connected to the TA via a short usb cable a friend of mine has build. The optical in on the TA comes from the bed room tv
Close, but no cigar then! Thank you nc8000. Pretty well all of my collection has been archived. Just on physical a medium called MiniDisc. While I admire what ATRAC managed to do, I don’t fancy converting what is mainly compressed audio to FLAC and using HDD storage. I guess the search continues!
Has anyone ever come across anything about what filter the TA-ZH1ES is using for PCM? It sounds a bit like the linear slow roll off filter of the Sabre 9038 but not just quite as rolled off. Maybe the trademark sound is just due to the upsampling.

I suppose the way they upsample eveything means the filter is not as crucial. I gather it is a linear filter but I have never seen measurements for the TA.
I am putting together a second system using a newer DAC and a Class A amp and trying to get a similar sound to the Sony. On an ES 9038PRO DAC the slow linear filter is closest, but it is slightly more rolled off than the TA. The fast linear Sabre filter is too bright/brittle.
Doing some comparisons and shootouts you can see how well Sony has tuned the sound. It really shines with lower bitrate media 16/44 and YouTube video etc.
I have a SMSL SU-9 and an older OG Burson Soloist and the sound is pretty impressive and stands as an interesting similar yet different system thean the Sony.

So no news about a new signature series? I'm considering the tazzy for its myriad of outputs, but if they have something in the works it's probably better to wait a little.
