The BDP 3 has a sound card and the Pi does not but the Pi and the 3 both use the same processor. I would guess that much of the filtering is the same. If I'm not mistaken, the BDP 3 runs the Roon signal through its processor for a better sounding signal where the Pi only acts as a bridge. Anyway, I bought the Pi (not to stream) and I do like the sound in MDP mode however I'm unable to play DSD files in Roon. Does RIGELIAN support DSD mode? Also, I just spoke to Bryston a couple of days ago and they plan to release a vastly improved software update in fall. Admittedly, my understanding of this is limited and I could easily be wrong about a number of things here, so any insights would help me out too.
Lumin U1 or Bryston Bdp2
Looking at a good streamer, don't have a music library Just for streaming Qbuzz.

@mahler123 I've found that I''m reorganizing albums via Playlists in Bipolar Bison (that is funny). This is something I might complete in about five years and I don't know if there's a limit to how many Playlists I'm able to create. Anyway, this may continue to be my best recourse, that is if Rigelian proves to be too good to be true. Melco makes a great product and I would love owning one of there renderers. Maybe if I can finally finish and sell some sculpture, though the galleries always get 50%. |
