Please read my post carefully. I said the ID41 digital out is best, the C10/15 the worst. I think if one is going to buy a Bricasti level DAC then the OP should know what the best signal out is. Never said a thing about original Sooloos sound quality.

My last comment is not misleading in any way. To be VERY clear, the original Sooloos system was sold as a stand alone 2ch music server with an outstanding GUI. It was very expensive and new but many bought in with the thought that it would only get better. Then M bought Sooloos and it was immediately morphed into the M ecosystem (Speakerlink, Apodizing, limited upsampling, MSR, MConfig, Control MAC and PC, etc.) all with the focus that it (Sooloos) will be used with M speakers and M electronics. M have given basically no consideration to the original Sooloos concept. Yes it is sonically better that the original Sooloos components but clearly its original use is now an afterthought.

And, I think a newbie to Sooloos should understand all there is to know about the system, especially a user who has one of the best DACs available, don't you?
