I like my Innuos Pulse Mini with upgraded LPS. This replaced my Project Streambox Ultra II. I ran the Project with the provided wall wart and it’s not bad. I’m currently using it in my headphones system. Both of my streamers are hardwired. I use a Cardas Clear usb on the Project and a Wireworld Starlight Platinum usb on the Innuos. I stream both Tidal and Qbuzz and listen to Radio Paradise and .1FM radio channels. Those particular channels sound as good as my subscription's. If you get a better streamer with a built in power supply your at $3K, but it’s another improvement. Happy Hunting , Mike B.
Streamer, no DAC please?
Sorry if this topic has been beaten to a pulp...I recently upgraded the digital side of my rig, Denafrips, Pontus 15 with a Project CD Box RS2T transport...
Now I have the itch to try streaming. It pains me to invest in a high end streamer and once again pay for a DAC.
Is it possible to find a quality steamer without a DAC? Any direction is appreciated, FYI, I consider myself a luddite.
