Hi Steve,
I'm currently streaming Qobuz FLAC through an Apple TV to a Red Wine Audio NOS DAC, and I'd like to reduce jitter. I'm trying to decide between a number of devices, including your Synchro Mesh, the Wyred 4 Sound Remedy ($400), and the Auralic Aries ($1000/$1600). Can you describe any differences in what to expect with sound quality between your device and these others, particularly when using a DAC that's limited to 16/44.1? I realize that the Aries includes much more functionality and would mean ditching the Apple TV all together, but I'm making this decision based on sound quality and value. I don't want to rely on a computer as an interface, or your Off Ramp would be on the list as well.
Thanks!

I expect the SM to sound better than any of these. If you upgrade to Dynamo power supply and my BNC-BNC coax, it will be a world-class source.
The Off-Ramp is even better, lower jitter and can also be imrpoved with the Dynamo and BNC-BNC coax.
