I recently went from an Antipodes server to Mojo Audio’s latest DejaVu EVO server and have been very pleased with both of them. Having enough on-board SSD storage for my saved files and working flawlessly with Roon, Tidal, and other streaming services are important to me, and both of these servers/streamers work flawlessly in those areas. Both have robust power supplies optimized for low noise. The Antipodes DX3 G3 has an on-board disc drive and automatically rips CDs and then stores them internally. Those on-board drives are becoming less common and even the newer Antipodes models don’t have them but it is easy to rip your CDs using your program of choice and then upload your lossless FLAC files to either of those servers. I have had nothing but good luck dealing with both Antipodes and Mojo Audio (which is in the USA, if that matters to you). Both sound great whether playing from the internal SSD or streaming from Roon.
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??
