Tidal and Qobuz are pretty much universally available on any dedicated streamer, while Deezer is more of an outlier. In my opinion EVERYTHING has its own sound, streaming service, streamer, cables, DAC. If it’s in the audio chain it can affect the sound.
Educate me on music streamers, please.
I just recently started a trial of Roon, Audirvana, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz and Spotify. In the past, I just played FLACs on Foobar or streamed on Google Play.
Roon and Audirvana are pretty cool and I like that you can add Tidal and Qobuz but you can't add Deezer (I really like Deezer's Flow). I don't like that I can't stream Deezer to my Raspberry Pi with RopieeeXL.
So, I was thinking that maybe a music streamer that has all of these services would be a good idea. Anyone have one they like? Do they have their own "sound"? I have a DAC - so would the DAC sound change whatever comes out of the streamer?
Sorry for the basic questions. I appreciate any help.
