Thx, @tedsmith :+1: I am in the process of installing and trying it now. It was said to be the ‘DS final version’ which I interpret as Ted being fully occupied with finalizing the TSS from now on. But at the same time it was stated a while ago that some iterations may surface for the DS along wit…

The Bridge causes a lot of noise in the current DS and DS Jr. People that don’t use the bridge function report better sound for all other inputs when the bridge is physically removed.

Are there plans for the DD II to incorporate the airgap galvanic isolation feature in the output stage that apparently has made a big difference in the latest transport?

All inputs and outputs in the DS Mk II are galvanically isolated. They also have optional ground lifts. There is also a digital isolator between the digital and analog cards.

+1 on the Aurender. I have an A10. Non Roon use except for Airplay (casting) though.

You’re 100% right. But the A30 is roon ready

Did not know that. Is it RAAT capable? See link below… https://aurender.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026675134-Can-I-use-my-Aurender-with-Roon-

And $18,000 so not price comparable or even close.

And Aurenders hold market price pretty close.

I think a couple of their “large Internet presence” dealers got caught straying from that as was the case with some Auralic dealers so that discounting is pretty non-existent.
