How important is an LCD screen on your streamer?


Hi, All,

 

Just curious of the importance to you of having a screen display on your streamer? For me, it's critical. I would not purchase a streamer without one...As much great press as the Innuous and Aurender's get they don't seem to prioritize a display screen?

I have always thought a screen on a streamer is redundant given that a tablet is usually the control surface for any streamer.   Or a phone 

As an owner of a Bluesound Vault 2i and an Aurender N200  my advice would be to listen to a few different streamers and see which has a better user feel and sound to you regardless of whether it has a screen or not.   I know a lot of people look past Innuos because there is no screen but they are steadfast in the belief that it causes noise.  Their new Statement has no screen, $21,000.    That says something.    

My Dad bought an Eversolo A6 , because it had a screen.  I warned him that they are relatively new to the  audio streaming space  and to buy a Bluesound.

He ignored my advice and now has a box with multiple issues . Instead of fixing issues , they create more with each update.   

I can't tell you how many times I have brought it over to my system to confirm it's the streamer and not his gear or LAN or wifi.   At least 5 or 6.   I have put my streamer in his system just to be 100% sure.  That's not worth having a touchscreen.  

I would suggest the Bluesound Icon or Aurender A1000 depending on budget if no screen is a deal breaker.  Both stable with good support.   Aurender is in another league with respect to support.
