Streaming


I have been a die hard analog fan for my entire audiophile life.  I know very little about digital and streaming, currently.  Do different sources of streaming material sound different?  Do different devices sound better than my current $100
Auris bluMe HD Bluetooth 5.0 ?

I've decided on the Audiolab 6000N streamer to get into the world of streaming. It uses the DTS
Play- Fi. (Play-Fi https://play-fi.com/) which supports lots of streaming services and multi room, so you can stream to every device you own.The unit has Wi Fi,  coaxial and RCA out Apparently the app is very user friendly for phone, ipad & Apple & Windows laptops
It has the ES9018 Saber32 reference chip, although I'll bypass the chip as I have the external Exogal comet plus DAC. Currently I don't own a laptop, but do have an ipad. I like the idea of being in the music room and controlling streaming services from my smart phone
I'm sure you'll find a streamer that will suit your needs, and be amazed at all the new artists and music that's available via streaming! Good luck on the hunt.
@bgpoppabThank you for that suggestion on the
Nord Acoustics Easy Stream Connect DAC 9038
as I've never come across that company before
Unfortunately my Audiolab 6000N is on it's way.
There are so many streamers out there that I'm sure will do an excellent job. Probably one of the biggest determining factor would be it's internal DAC if you don't own a external DAC and the software (app) interface. The Audiolab 6000N
with it's DTS Play fi software multi room interface really appealed to me.
It also won What Hi Fi streamer of the year, but they might be a bit bias  : )
