I have a few questions about the Octave program. I am correct in understanding Octave will be its own UI, similar to what I use now in my DirectStream DAC, MControl? Will the DirectStream DAC be upgradable to this new UI via a Bridge III? I ask becuase I have read through the forum and cannot seem …

Thanks, Steven. That’s an interesting comparison between the two products. I would offer a correction, however. Our longer term plans will see streaming itself (as differentiated from serving) as integral to our DACs, a process we began many years ago. Our Network Bridge is a streamer and it can ac…

Sounds like there are going to be a number of interesting products coming up in the next 12 to 18 months, and no one has mentioned loudspeakers for a while!

It appears the next year will be great fun with all sorts of goodies to consider.

[image] Paul: That product will have StellarStream built in allowing access through a free StellarStream app . . . But no Roon??

The only issue I have with your post, Paul is that if you’re running on ROCK , you’re not really on 3rd party software but a custom Linux core they’ve engineered to run Roon. 3rd party hardware? Unless it’s Nucleus, okay. But Roon is ROCK solid for me, pun intended. And feeding a Sprout through usb…

Loudspeakers are a hot topic internally in the engineering department. Work on the AN3 as well as the upcoming Stellar line of speakers is moving at a fast pace - though one might think the runner is a snail (and they wouldn’t be too far off the mark). There are just so many thousands of small deta…

I’m sorry, but I was not following the Octave tread in the forum. I have an Aurender. Maybe this has been addressed. Is Octave a stand alone server like the Aurender? Does it have I2s that output DSD to the DSS like the DMP? Will it have an app to be use on a Iphone or Ipad? My brother is inter…

The upcoming Octave is a music server like the Aurender. I can’t remember if it will have I2s but I would assume it would. The Octave music server will have its own control app for iPhone/iPad. Regarding sound quality only time will tell. Clearly PSA will feel it is the best in the world.

Outstanding. Hope it comes out soon. Depending on how good it is, I am also interested. The Aurender sounds terrific but it is quirky, Sometimes I have a hard time starting it up after shutdown. It just keep blinking and you wait forever and have to shut it down and restart again. Sometimes sev…
