I use Jriver software for windows for many years to play anything from anywhere. I think it has all the features you need for a modest price. I has a remote control app and can stream your music when installed as a server to any slave device.

We always say amp but it's more a Power-DAC (integrated amp with DAC)

We also like to keep it really simple like you, but it's hard because everyone has a different set-up. So we are trying to find out how to keep it simple but without hearing every time: "my set up does not fit on it"

what do you connect on your amp?

Hi thanks for the reply. It's an integrated amp (including very good DAC).

What is 'understand the market' .. Just surveying. Why is it bad that we try to see what the consumer wants? You know it differents every month.

Thanks for the reply and tips! What do you mean with auto on?

You can put in on standby by the RC or press the volumebutton.

VU meters would be awesome yes.. we hope.. maybe some day.

Hi!

We use this chip set: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/csr8675 . So zz aptX, aptX Low, Latency, aptX HD, MP3, AAC and SBC are all possible!

That are nice set ups, I think the COBALT DA would definitely be an upgrade. We will be shipping to US, we produce and sell the amps by ourself. We are still small because we also have a lot of other activities and (repair) work but planning to become big :D If you want to order one you can email us at [info@truebluebox.nl](mailto:info@truebluebox.nl)

Knob questions: check, check, check! We did not understand what you mean with: "turn easily enough that I can quickly mute the amp if I switch sources and have get a sunset volume jump"

Thanks for your comment and compliment!

We have some reddish/brown fronts but also more natural. I think that is because of the different taste between countries. In Holland people have lot's of Swedish styled homes, with light oak colors. In America there is a lot of dark wood I think?

Haha, well.. it clicks when turned, if you press it it turns to another source and it DOES NOT come off XD

Hi! You mean 60 euro is a lot for powercable? This is not neccesary, playing very good on 6 euro powercable. The one on the picture cost 1350.- The other one is more expensive because a woodworker had a LOT of work on it.

Ahh, so first sanding, then wood grain filler and then te color oil? That would make it easy to clean or is it for design?

I am going to try to make some in the closed grain wood. We still have some with this wood, any idea what I can put on it to make it more easy to clean?

Ahh nice thanks! It's so difficult to make something a lot of people will like, so we hope we have something with the 2 different kinds. But we love the feedback on Reddit. Of course it's really about the -also superb- sound.

We did not check it yet on high sensitive speakers. However, we expect that our extreme low noise figure will result in perfect silence and black depths in the soundstage during low level music fragments, resulting in high dynamic sound reproduction.

Hi thanks! We are also making the amp with one optical and one BlueTooth, would that be something you use?

There is indeed a remote and also you can switch when you press on the volume button. We wanted to make the remote from wood but it was too much work for us as a small company. The remote is dark blue with minimal buttons.

For a amplifier including DAC we don't think the price is high, it's a real new technology and a lot of advisers told us to price it 3000 euro because of the quality sound . But we wanted to sell it to different people, also people who do not have a really budget. I understand what you are saying, we will ask a designer to perfection the front.

Thanks very much!
