Thumbs up for Kron, I got one from him over a year ago, a nice upgrade from my pervious Benz Micro purchased from an English HiFi store.    
Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers.
I'm currently waiting for the buyers bank fraud investigation findings. (I sold the goods here in December).   Buyer claims that they did not make the purchase, this was after the buyer received the goods. The bank via Stripe took back the money... 
Mistake to change from Spectrum (Coaxial) to Fios (Fiber optical)???
To follow up, I changed back to (Spectrum) "Coaxial cable" a few days ago. Note: I'm referring to the cable that runs from the street utility pole to house/ modem. Verizon Fios use a fiber optic, ( I overlooked this when I changed cable companies)...

The TV sound is fine. TV is not an issue, its streaming music via optical cable is the problem.I use Roon & stream Tidal (master), hardwired from modem, router to Auralic Aries G2 and on.Maybe the new equipment needs burnin time? I will know i... 
spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?
A few weeks ago I upgraded my Sonos streamer to a Auralic Aries G2, there is no comparison in sound quality. (Auralic Vega dac with Tidal, Roon).
