Thanks, guys.

I haven't tried just unplugging and plugging as this would almostmean as much trouble as restarting, and I am hoping that I can just switch in and out.

As for sound, with a custom linear supply that I had someone built for me, it is a good step up from the sbt (both running through the chain of ifi stuff ) . Cleaner, smoother , bigger, deeper. Much like a better CD player. Haven't really listed to usb direct to dac with the sotm. The sbt via usb had a weird glitch with the esoteric that sounded like a momentary off pitch every now and then, and I used the ifi in between since then.

I had the same findings..the SOtM was clearly superior to the already very good SBT.

Can you clarify...you say:

"Haven't really listed to usb direct to dac with the sotm" I am bit confused, because the only way to connect a DAC with the SOtM is with USB...

Or did you mean you have not tried connecting a storage device into one of the USB slots?

  I meant I've been using a Ddc between the esoteric and sotm, and not directly into the esoteric.

    Understood.

      Just tried running the sotm directly into the esoteric for a while. Soundwise, it was alright, but it seems that the sound with the ifi ddc in the chain is More ballsy. Also, there seems to be a glitch with the driver when playing high res via usb direct ( there was some stutter ) . So, the ifi is back into the chain for now.
      Interesting news is that restarting squeezelite only seems to be able to make connection with the newly connected usb dac/ddc so it was reasonably easy ( vs restarting the sotm )
