Jazzman7 thank you. Interesting you mention the Bricasti M5 as that was one my reading pointed my to somewhat. Curious if the M5 is enough or does linear power supply for the Nucleus justify it's expense for the "step up"? Thanks again.
2022 - Ideal Network Transport
I enjoy Roon exclusively and run the Roon Nucleus through a BlueSound Node 2i, (wonderful value) to my HoloSound May DAC, D'Agostino Progression Integrated amp to my Wilson Audio Sasha DAW's.. After reading quite a bit about higher grade dedicated network transports I'm confused if there's truly a difference out there or is this in the ears of the beholder. If there is such an animal out there what is it (brand & model). Note, I'm not looking for razor sharp audiophile accuracy, instead I prefer to feel a smooth, warm lush soundstage. I primarily listen to Jazz these days but also enjoy 70's-90's Rock. Minimal classical.
