Streamer Advice
Hi, I'm in the market for a new streamer and was considering Bluesound N132 then found out to make it better I need to upgrade the module inside and then add external power supply. So then I thought about PS Audio Airlens so wouldn't have to go through all the upgrades for Bluesound. Too bad Bluesound just can't make the Node good from the start. Is there any other streamers that would be really musical I should consider under $1500? Thanks for your replies in advance!
Also I will be using my own DAC a Wyred4Sound Anniversary edition.
Innuous Zen Mk 3 inc. Storage and ripper These people actually have service. Excellent equipment. Built in LPS. I just replaced a Node with upgraded power supply and got the Innuous. Big difference.
Whatever brand you buy, the software has to work. I put up with Qobuz is not usable. Maybe new ones work better. |
@romad - Another vote for Innuos. Great product. Excellent sound. Their Sense App is fantastic. And their support is solid. |
I just ditched my Bluesound Node2i. The app is not very user friendly and the sound is ok but not perfect. I got a Wiim Pro as I only go digital coax from there to digital amp Sounds WAY better. I also ordered a Allo Shanti LPS just to test that. Until now I use a power bank to feed the Wiim. Sounds great 👍 |
@aberyclark I think it’s probably one of the best sounding streamers at its price point, but it’s given me fits getting it to link up through a Wi-Fi extender and their customer support is basically nonexistent. Others have reported having connection problems as well so I don’t think it’s just me. They also don’t as of yet have a direct connection to Qobuz as far as I know but apparently that’s coming. |
