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 use an iPad and consider the screen on the streamer totally unnecessary.  The great convenience of a streamer is best accessed through an iPad or on a smart phone.  

All my equipment digital displays are turned off for maximum sound performance.

For streaming, the only screen I need is on my tablet. And it's much larger than any streamer screen on the market.

I don't care much about having a display on the streamer, given that it is across the room, but the Volumio Rivo Plus has HDMI out to display the user interface and, more importantly, the metadata on your TV. That is a rare feature on streamers.

Not important to me at all.  I control my Innuos Zen MK3 through Qobuz or their Sense app with my phone or tablet and I don’t need more light in the room.  

I always turn screen/display off. I wish manufacturers directed the efforts towards improving digital circuitry and minimizing noise and jitter instead of including a screen that’s just a redundancy when all streamers are controlled via smart phone or tablet.
