Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited?


Many here are much more well versed in good streamers than me. Interested in reactions to this new entry.

Speculation until someone does the 30 day demo and compares it to something else worth comparing to.  However, if folks have had issues with their components and did not feel supported with a resolution, i'd have a concern too. Probably paying a little more for the Room capability & support too.  PS Audio fans might like it. Wishing them good luck on their new USA product, few and far between.   

@pmotz ..."Yes there is some empty space, that is a design decision. Digital circuits need to be kept physically apart from analog circuits to minimize noise transfer."

Glad you pointed this out. Was thinking the same when I read some of the comments. Folks who understand at least the basics of design and best attempts at eliminating unnecessary noise can appreciate this. i.e. keeping the two parts isolated and apart from each other that is. Would have to listen to it for an extended period of time before determining if it’s worth the investment or not. 👍

 

@mahler123 Does it have any features such as Chromecast, AirPlay, or Bluetooth? How does it handle Internet Radio and Podcasts? And what App is controlling it?

Def worth sending a note to their marketing dept there to learn more. Some folks claim they cannot hear differences with the different software platforms and protocols.

Sat at my buddies house and home comparing many hours with Roon, Airplay II, DTS PlayFi, MusicLife, others, no bluetooth - and comparing to native file connections playing the exact same track, song, version. Each platform adds or removes its own magic software dust layers for better or worse. We most certainly heard differences.

Reply back here if you ask what they are going to do and offer w/the streamer. Thx.
