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 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. 

Wow, unanimous! I do use my IPad but I just love the idea of being able to see it on the screen, I think aesthetically it adds a nice classy touch-even if impractical. Plus a lot of times I’ll have music playing just for background and I like the idea of just looking at the screen rather than scrambling for my iPad if it’s a song I don’t recognize…

Not important at all to me.

I can do everything better on my iPad, so I don't need to squint to read a tiny lcd screen.

I have an Aurender streamer.

Sonics is king with adequate functionality. Only need tolerable appearance 

WAF also important - self preservation 

For me, the screen is completely unnecessary; I have it disconnected. I use an iPad to control my LUMIN, and I even have the Ethernet LEDs turned off, all to avoid any noise, no matter how theoretical. My DAC also works with the screen off.
