This steamer could be a killer unit. A shame it does not have fibre input. However, I did have a streamer from Playback Designs, Stream-IF, that was able to compete against 2 fibre based streamers that I also had. The Lumin X1 and the Sonore OpticaRendu. The Stream-IF did not support fibre input, only fibre output, which I was not able to use.
Point is that maybe the newer streamers can compete against fibre based streamers.
