@naperaudio, if you value plug and play ease of use when listening to music, and you intend to use Roon, then I highly recommend that you look at getting a Roon Nucleus. I have one running off of a 19v Sbooster linear power supply that’s plugged into an AudioQuest Niagara power conditioner. Clean power being the key to getting the best out of any piece of audio gear, no matter how costly that bit of kit might be. I just turn on my amplifier, put on my headphones, pick up my iPad, and start listening to millions of tracks of music within a matter of seconds.
Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)
I have a dCS Paganini DAC and Paganini Clock. I’m looking for a streamer only to pair with the Paganini to stream via Tidal. That’s it, I don’t need a streamer/DAC/etc. I don’t want to extra for pay for redundancy. Any good suggestions on a streamer only that you have paired to a high end DAC with good results would be appreciated.
PLEASE no “try some at home on your system” responses …. that’s the reason I came here, for some recommendations. Price range $1500-$5000.
Thanks!

@loxo, I also use a Roon Nucleus with an aftermarket LPS(linear power supply), except mine is an Sbooster, which I’ve found to work quite nicely in my system. I’m often amazed at the number of folks who not only recommend to others music servers that cost $10,000 and more, but have also bought one themselves when all they’re doing is using Roon to run Tidal and Qobuz. |
