All of the above is likely accomplishing the same purpose as the 600Ω transformer.

No. It is not the same. This is what I am talking about.

Closing out my Yggy issue, its back to working normally again as though nothing happened. All I did was disconnect power for 24 hours. Thanks to all who suggested trying out different things. One important takeaway is that my friend is building me a Linux-based music server. No more Mac mini's and MBAs for playing music.

No need to build a linux based server.. daphile does it for you.. just throw it on a USB stick  and boot a Mini PC on the stick.. done.

Based on Squeezebox ecosystem, android/iphone apps.. gobs of plugin... gobs of settings if you need that.   ;)

Anyone update to windows 10 yet?  If so, any issues with the yggy usb drivers?  I'm interested to try it out but would hate to break my rig in the process.

On a related topic, do any of you have strong feelings on the appropriate default windows sound output format when not using foobar, KS/wasapi etc.  I know some manufacturers will recommend, for example, setting advanced sound properties to 24 bit, 96khz.  Schiit doesn't mention this in the setup, so I've had mine at 16/44.1 with enhancements disabled.  Any thoughts here?  Thanks!

Volumio sucks. 10,000 file limit :(.

I moved to a dedicated NUC running daphile on my main system, Jriver/windows on my personal laptop and desktop, and audirvana at work.

My understanding is that you don't want to up sample the frequency, so if you are playing 44.1 source, you set it to 44.1. But for bitdepth, I think that the Windows audio mixer up samples to 24 bit depth, so it is good to put the control setting at 24 bit (as opposed to 16 bit, because it would then get downsampled)

Most pc sources(games/YouTube/dvd) are running on 16bit 48khz. Setting a higher bit depth won't hurt sound quality(even number bit truncation is lossless) but may require a tiny bit more cpu horsepower. I personally set to 32bit 48khz. Although floating point is not recommended for most dacs as it may result in accuracy errors.

Just moved definitely to Daphile as well.  Runs better than everything I tried before.  I installed it on an old machine: one of the first intel based mac mini. Some issues I encountered with my Laptop are now solved ( some glitches with dac, Ground loop .. ) . Works fluently and I can use my phone as a remote.  I use Qobuz for streaming as well but there's plugin for every other streaming provider I think.. Spotify , Deezer.. maybe not tidal yet but I don't know.
