SQ Comparison of 3 streamers
    @abd1  I had the U2 Mini with a SBooster PS (about $4K CAD). I then tried the Denafrips Arcas, ($2.7K CAD) which was clearly better than the U2 Mini. I had some reliability issues with the Arcas and switched to the Rivo Plus (1.9K CAD). The R... 
Denafrips Terminator Plus/Gaia compatibility
I have upgraded my Terminator Plus with the Hermes DDC without any issues. Have you tried to contact Denafrips or Vinshine Audio technical support? They should be in position to help you out with this problem. I recall that the Terminator firmwar...

@abg2018This was the first time I encountered an audio gear failure in 40 years into this hobby. I also filled you the UR forms and shipped the amp in. I received no e-mail or calls of any sort regarding my repair. I had to do all of the follow-up...
