Hi Dan - great read. As you may have read elsewhere I am just getting into the digital streaming stuff as I prefere Vinyl (as Medium).

My digital till now consisted of a simple Moon Neo 260 Transport into the McIntosh C52 integrated.

By chance I got a bargain on an Auralic Aries LE with SBooster Power Supply - so I started experimenting with Tidal.

I have now started ripping some CDs and compared the ripped files via Auralic to the CD playback via Moon.

First impression is the difference is minimal (if there at all).

Thus I considered to (maybe) switch to streaming only for digital and wondered if there was room for improvement.

Users have suggested the Schiit and your review (great read by the way).

As you also seem familiar with McIntosh I was wondering what you would think about upgrading and abandoning the C52s integrated DAC for the Schiit.

Do you think it would make a noticeable improvement?

It‘d be really great to hear your thoughts.

They don‘t have distribution over here in Germany I think - but just across the boarder in the Netherlands I could put my hand on one.

All the best from „across the pond“ !!!

Enjoy the music ✌️
