I have a bluesound node and a Paradigm PW Link. The PW Link is a preamp as well as a streamer AND includes Anthem ARC room correction. You can run everything from your android phone via the DTS playfi app and will be surprised how much ARC will bring to your system. The Link is on sale for $199 and easily worth it. It even has a digital out if you want to use a different DAC but keep the room correction in the system.
First Streamer...
Hi,
I'm planning to buy my first streamer.
Honestly, I have no idea which brand of streamer to purchase and would welcome suggestions.
I'd like to use my android phone to select material which will be played through a Audio Research VSi60 amp and homemade Zaph Audio ZRT Revelator speakers. My CD player ( a Rega Saturn) has a DAC which could be used for streaming.
Any suggestions?
I'm looking to stream TIDAL using Verizon's Fios service and spend under $2000.

@johndyson I’m in north Jersey and just switched from Fios to T-Mobile and YouTube TV (even a better deal if you switch to T-Mobile cell service and get their package deal — T-Mobile has been great for both internet and cell service BTW) and saving a ton of $$$. Fios is WAY overpriced in our area IMHO. You could also use a Wi-Fi extender from TP-Link, etc. and a shorter Ethernet cable rather than running a long CAT8. I agree with others you should consider upgrading to a better DAC when possible, which can happen sooner if you can stop throwing money away to Fios. Just sayin’. Hope this helps, and best of luck. |
