I'm in the Dac camp but also make sure your streamer whatever it is has a good power supply. I've used an Auralic Aries Mini for 5 years now into two different Dacs. The one big improvement to the streamer itself was adding the Sbooster power supply.
spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?
I a considering splashing north of 5000 (euro) for a new source for my rig (MOOON 340i, OPERA QUINTA speaker, McIntosh SACD, Node2). Better to spend more for the DAC or the streamer ? I was thinking about a Schitt yggrasil.Or would it make sense to spalsh on a more expensive DAC and use the Node2 as a streamer, or, for that matter, stream from my Macbook Pro. Regards.
