Any thoughts on the Pro-Ject box series? I think there are low priced streaming models. I like the idea of the Node, but I have a good 96/24 DAC, and I wish there was an affordable streaming DAC with a better DAC section and good user interface (Android app; I can't afford Room right now). My best thought on this now is Node 2i to iFi Black Label DAC, but I would also want a tablet, so the package is around $1200. I might have grabbed that Oppo DAC if it did gapless. Where is the new Squeezebox Touch when you need it?!?
Streamer recommendations for dummies.
I’m new at this.
I need an e-net streaming device for AirPlay that can be set to a specific gain to prevent iTunes users from overwhelming my amp with the preset volume on their device. Anything above 60% is too much.
It would be nice to be able to EQ at the streamer as well, but the big problem is volume; when an iOS or OSX device sends a song to my amp at high volume (ear bud volume) it basically blows my bookshelf speakers off the stand.
Equipment:
amp: Hegel H160 -150 W RMS X2, 32-bit AKM DAC @ 24/192 except USB at 24/96 on 1 GB e-net.
speakers: SF Concerto on stands.Ben
