If you have a good DAC consider a dacless streamer, I have had and or borrowed several, the best sounding was the Stack Link however this had an awful app and refused to work in a mac environment, even the dealer couldn't make it work. OK was a Sonore Microrendu but too many drop outs, same with iFi Streamer it had DAC compatibility issues, Pro Ject was quite awful, more expensive ones were OK but no better than the Lindemann Limetree Bridge I have now,
Streaming Services
Hello, Folks -
In an attempt to (somewhat) get with the times, I am incorporating streaming as a source in my audio system.
In my research I’ve seen that sound quality varies among the providers.
I’m looking for a provider suggestion. A service that you feel has high sound quality.
For the most part this would be for classical music. Some classic rock and jazz would be a plus.
I’m a fuddy duddy with my equipment and am not looking to change anything out. What I have:
Conrad Johnson HD3 USB DAC
Conrad Johnson Premier 16LS Preamp
Conrad Johnson Premier 12 Mono Block Power Amps
Vandersteen Quattro Loudspeakers
PGS interconnects
MacBook Pro
Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much for reading my post.
Regards,
Randy
