I will say 100% there is a difference! I have had a few and finally settled on a small green computer/Lumin setup. That is what I liked best. Not saying this is the end all, but I could tell very NON-Suttle differences between streamers. This was what I liked and just stayed with it. I found what I liked and stopped spending anymore on it.
Sound quality differences in streamers
Can there be sonic differences between moderate and high priced streamers when used for streaming only. I will not use or engage an onboard DAC or any other feature, just stream from Tidal or Amazon to DAC. If the unit is just transferring zeros and ones to a DAC can there be differences in say a $300 WiiM and a $3000 dSC streamer? Thanks
