I went from a laptop to a Bluesound Vault and clearly heard the difference. Plan to go up to up to an Aurrender. The sever absolutely makes a difference. Although DAC differences are easier to hear by far. I would not compare a server it to a cartridge, but perhaps turntables, or the difference between CD transports. Only my experience of course.
Music Servers, Do They Matter?
The Occasional Podcast host Brian Hunter is joined by digital designer and Innous Director Nuno Vitorin.
In more analog mindset, does it make as much sense to evaluate a separate music server in the same terms as one might consider a cartridge to a turntable? In addition to thinking about the why, Nuno discusses much of the how – including where to get started and what to look for.
The discussion starts at the very beginning of source material. Listen, learn and hopefully adapt your way to a better listening experience.
