I can’t answer since I don’t have powered speakers, but fwiw I would think that as with any audio component since different streamers have different audio signatures, it ought to matter considerably. My newest streamer is a Bryston BDP3, which sounds different than my Bluesound Vault2, my Oppo 105, and my MacAir all into the same DAC.
Powered Speakers, does your streamer matter?
I’m curious if anyone here are using powered speakers (that have a built in DSP) tried different streamer and do they matter that much? Setting aside the software control app, has anyone tried various streamers (Bluesound/Lumin/PSAudio) using their SPDIF coax out into the speakers and heard a difference between them? Ideally Tidal high res (MQA) would be the source, not ripped CDs.
Thanks
