- Reasons for "the streamer should not matter at all"?
- Which DACs fit these criteria, according to you? Which streamers would you pair with them?
I originally ordered an Ayre QX-8 DAC but was getting frustrated waiting so I picked up a used QX-5 Twenty for the same $$. It sounded great while I was waiting for my Roon hub and just running thru ethernet cabling.
Once the Roon hub arrived and was connected via premium USB cable, its was noticeably and immediately better.. Since I did both "updates" at same time, hard to tell how much was the streamer and how much to assign to the cabling.
Either way/ w/o changing amps or speakers or other cables, its was a quantum leap in SQ. I was shocked and very pleased.
