Read this thread with great interest. I currently use a Bryston DAC3 which also uses an AKM chip, I am wondering if it’s the same one. Parenthetically I note that AKM chips seem to remain available, as I thought that a fire had destroyed the company. I love this DAC.
I had also bought the Bryston BDP3 streamer, which sounded great but I ultimately found unusable due to a plethora of networking issues. Bryston is now combing these 2 components and I would warn people off their streamer in any guise.
Companies that excel in Audio stumble frequently when getting into streaming, which is basically IT, and now it seems that ELAC has joined that club. Why did they release this without DLNA functionality? For those of you that like the sound but have returned it for streaming issues, I would buy the Bryston DAC and get a separate streamer from a company that knows how to network
