Used Auralic Ares with femto clock you can pick up one under your budget, I have one I’m not using with a S Booster power supply and stock outboard power supply but will keep it for now. Very good app and very good sound quality. I compared it to the Auralic Ares G1 and G1 was better but not night and day.
My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions?
Hey all,
Well, my vaunted 105 now won’t connect to Tidal through the app no matter what troubleshooting I do, and since my listening is 40% vinyl, 50% streaming, and 10% cd, I’m losing out on a lot of music. I’d like to keep the Oppo as a the occasional transport but need something to stream Tidal.
I can still connect via HDMI to to the Oppo from my phone or laptop, but the sound is terrible.
My digital system:
Ragnarok 2 integrated
Denafrips Ares 2 DAC/Schiit Gungnir (currently comparing them side-by-side)
Reference 3A de Capos
Oppo 105 (still can be used as a transport and blu-ray)
Suggestions for a streamer that would work well with the Denafrips? Budget under $1K.
Thank you,
simao
