Advice regarding streaming please.


Hello, I have an Audiolab 6000n streamer and think it’s now the weakest link, but I am not using the built in DAC as I’m using a Denafrips Pontus DAC , I’m wondering would a different / better streamer be any better at at put all those 1’s & 0’s into my Pontus DAC or at the pre-DAC point is it all the same? I’m an incomplete tetraplegic so any suggestions of CD/SACD or vinyl is not good for me.

I have been studying streaming relentlessly for over 2 yrs.  I knew nothing.  So this what I would recommend before you spend lots of money.

1.  Ethernet cable from router to streamer. 

2.  You can add a network switch to help clean up any noise

3.  You can add an ENO to your ethernet line.  About 700 dollars.

4.  Good power cord to DAC and streamer

My opinion is you have very very nice equipment.  I would optimize what you have before I tear it apart and start over.  All these tweaks clean up noise of different types.  All the above can be done for 2000 or less. You might be surprised.
