Over the past year I’ve probably owned eight different streamers and they all came with a choice of either setting it up fixed or variable. I remember that being on almost everyone. I started with a blue node and ended up with high fi rose
A Streamer or Dedicated DAC With McIntosh MX110Z???
Would like to add a streaming device to my McIntosh MX110Z. Speaking with McIntosh I learned only a device with fix level outputs is the preferred way to go because of the internal preamp with the streamers..Cambridge Azur 851N as a example.
This is where I need help. Am I to assume all streamers have variable outputs? Or can some variable outputs on certain streamers be set to fix level output?
Then comes the question of using a stand alone DAC which I would connect a IPAD or such device to instead of a music streamer.
Which is best, stand alone DAC or music streamer ( if possible)?
Is anyone doing this with a MX110Z, if so what worked best?
Thanks to one and all.
