High end streamer/server profound choice


Lots of pieces to consider, power supply, clockers, switches, formats, connection issues, dac issues, ethernet noise, optical rendu, etherregen, etc.  


Too much to handle?  I think so.

so i am considering stretching and getting a higher end component $8 to $12 and avoiding all the nonsense.  And feel better with a nice piece of gear.  Avoiding clutter.


doesnt this make more good sense??

My own server is many box, but if a good one box solution is in your budget, I could see that being very worthwhile.

A long time ago, as computer audio was heating up around here, someone said they didn't want to import computer headaches in their audio room.

That's always stuck with me; while I absolutely don't regret going down the computer audio road, the computer grief -- eg, going to listen and needing to reboot everything -- is serious aggravation. Enough at work!


Do the one box solutions substantially mitigate that?
