13th Note HiFi Review of Network Streamers


Simon Price of 13th Note HiFi Reviews just did a great video where he reviews all the major music streamers.

Sorry but I did not watch the video.  I agree it would have been nice to list all the "major music streamers" for everyone.  Curious about what streamers were included.  Rather spend the time listening to music than watching a video.  I am currently using Wolf Audio Alpha 3 SX and enjoy it.  Did not need to do any shoot out comparisons.  It just sounded great in my system when demo'd.
That’s fine for lower grade  products , there are a Ton far better 
small green computer I don’t rate that as good ,good low budget .

Also, as I pointed out, the digital output of the Sonore is limited to USB, whereas the digital outputs of the Bricasti M5 (and Auralic) are robust and don’t restrict one’s choice of DAC. That was my primary point.

Sonore offers the ultraDigital as an addon to the opticalRendu. This give you a SPDIF output and most importantly an i2s output. Very few network players that I have see have an i2s output.

i2s is the best input on many DACs.

I got it wrong. He didn't leave ALL high priced boxes out.  He included the Innous for comparison purposes. It has a larger feature set that he incorporated into the rating. He priced the Sonore in £, I guess you missed that.
More importantly on topic he missed the best examples in the price range - Magna Mano Ultra (i2s out) and Pro-Ject S2 Ultra.
He loves BluOS, but the only advantage it has to me is quick auto indexing of local files.
