Schiit Eitr with Aurender N100H

I’ve been using the new Schiit Eitr USB-to-S/PDIF converter with my Aurender N100H and I’m having an odd problem. When I stream Tidal, the Eitr works perfectly. When I play files from the hard drive, there is no sound. I have 2 other USB-to-SPDIF converters (Singxer F-1 and Mutec MC-3+ USB) and they play files and Tidal perfectly. Is anyone else using an Eitr with an N100H?

hgeifman - Yes, I plan to use either or both of those, depending on the responses I get.  I know its a very new product, just trying to determine if there are any others out there who may be using it with an Aurender, and having a similar problem, or not...

Last week I wrote to customer service at Schiit, and they offered a replacement.  I received the replacement today, and it works perfectly. Now I'm switching back and forth between files and Tidal with no issues.

@dave,  I am happy Schiit responded so quickly with a replacement Etir unit and everything is working.  Please check the Tidal Masters tab for MQA coded albums.  Enjoy.

Glad Schiit took care of that situation for you.

I’m interested in this Eitr, myself. Currently using a V-Link 192 USB/SDPDIF converter and happy with it. It sounds better than running coax out of an Aries Mini directly into the Gungnir DAC. BUT, of course, always curious about how something new might sound especially if the price is right.  Less than $200 for Schiit’s Eitr is right for me.

Can you provide any comments about sound with the Eitr vs that Singxer F-1?  There is a pretty active Eitr thread over on HeadFi.org (you might already know about this).  One of the posters there said the Eitr was better than the F-1 which in turn, he though, was better than the MF V-Link 192.  Would be great to know your opinion.  Thanks.
