Oops I meant servers ..... I now stream (DCS Vivaldi Upsampler) and serve ..!
Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy
Not sure if anyone caught this, but it's quite the take down of some of the very expensive server/streamer stuff out there. It seems logical to me -- especially when he prices out what some of the internal components are -- but this is above my pay grade so I cannot confirm. It's here: https://youtu.be/MMSC9-qQ_K4
Wonder if others agree or disagree with the basic takedown.

I have been streaming now for many years and I have gone through MANY streamers. From £300 in the early days up to £17,000 and it is clear to me that the more I pay the better the result. Value for money is subjective so that does not enter the debate for me. I just listen. I am taking delivery of the Taiko Extreme next Wednesday, so will be interesting as that is my highest price point so far! |

It looks to be a very well made streamer/server. Does it sound better than cheaper units? From what I’ve seen I doubt it very much" You have not heard it - so your opinion is ... inane |
