I suppose one can argue that an automobile is a device that transports individuals from A to B, and as long as it has 4 wheels, an internal combustion engine, there is no difference between say, a Yugo and a Porsche.
Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity.
Please comment on the below statement.
"A streamer is just a digital network appliance. It connects to a network, renders a digital stream, and spits out either analogue or digital audio stream. It's just digits; you don't need an 'audiophile network streamer' for the digital aspect. The 'audiophile' stuff is handled by the DAC. If the DAC can't clean up noise and jitter on the digital inputs, it's poorly engineered; look elsewhere."
