ROON, via Small Green Computer sonictransporter server and a Sonore microRendu (which will get upgraded to an optical Rendu maybe). Are there streamers with their own OS that sound better than Roon, like the $20k Aurenders and others? Maybe. I am committed to Roon, which has allowed me to discover so much music in the last 2 years that I am still astonished. It's like adding Wikipedia to Tidal (or Qobuz). The interface of Roon is so powerful and easy to use. I just bought the lifetime subscription to Roon, which imo is a bargain.
Streamer software, what do you use?
I've noticed that pretty powerful PC hardware has been available for the last couple of years for cheap. Say ~ $300 for a little desktop cube with 8 cores, 8 GBytes of RAM and plenty of storage. You can run Windows or Linux (yeay!) and therefore I imagine just about any choice of software.
For Roon users this is a real boon as we can combine the core and streamer into a single device for far less than dedicated audiophile branded streamers. I'm curious though what other software A'goners use? The main requirement, IMHO is that it support remote control via tablets. What do you use?
Do you use an outboard linear power supply or other tweak to improve the performance?
