The allo usb bridge signature is £299, add and ifi ipower £49 and you have a streamer that competes with most under £1k. It should be a significant improvement over your laptop. This is one of those rare cases of a genuine hifi bargain. I have an auralic g2 in my main system which is the best streamer I’ve heard under £5,000 and the allo as is much closer than it should be in performance.
Music streamers
My question is About music streamers in general. My current setup is a Laptop connected to my integrated job amp through usb. I was wondering if I should replace my laptop with a dedicated streamer without a Dac cuz my int already had one. So purely speaking about the difference between a dedicated streamer and a laptop. Does a streamer have a tangible improvement than a laptop? Just on the audio quality is there a tangible improvement. If yes plz suggest me some good ones below 1000usd. I’m currently eyeing the lindenmann limetree bridge. Thank you
