Oh sure, they are making a fortune with their $150 upgrade? You win the Cynical Audiophile of the Year award. daverich4, totlsota, mourip and 3 others 1 1 4 UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment

Perhaps you ought to have packed a small carton of prunes in with DAC sent for upgrade. GeneZ, Jeff_N, jiminlogansquare and 4 others 7 UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment

Come on guys, it really is not that hard to guess what Schiit transport will have and do: CD-ROM data mode playback of CDs (as opposed to variable speed EFM, Eight-to-fourteen modulation); 100Mbps RJ45 copper Ethernet "input" for playing PCM files. Network/endpoint player/software protocol unknown, but you can be sure they will try to make it as compatible as possible with popular desktop player client user interfaces (iTunes, Roon, JRiver, DLNA/UPnP, whatever) as Schiit has zero interest in becoming a software company. USB out to a DAC. The trick here, and clearly what they have said they are working on now is to get their USB host s/w (which will be flashed into their PIC32 at power-on) to be as UAC2 compliant as possible so they can be more broadly compatible with non-Unison USB DACs such as typical XMOS, etc. Expect firmware updates to be required once they have a thousand units in the field. Those of who who imagine anything significantly more elaborate than the above don't know Schiit. If they do it well as described, I might even buy one! There is very few reasons (other than power supply isolation and a few other factors) that data-mode playback of CDs can't equal stored file playback. And I for one often wish I could just shove a new disc in and enjoy it. Don't even care about meta-data retrieval since I have eyes and can look at the jewel case or booklet to see the name of track number 5 or whatever. jiminlogansquare and feelingears 1 1 UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment
