Streamers are just Linux boxes with a custom front end. Bits is bits. But if you just have to spend more money to get the same exact bits coming down your wire, I'm not going to stop you.
Upgrade ....streamer or amp?
Having decided to keep my Merlin TSM MMs, I was going to upgrade my streamer (Bluesound Node 2 ---original version) and my amp ( Billie....original version). However, recent stock market activity has my IRA in a shambles, so I am only going to upgrade only one of the two.
Any thoughts on which to start with? I was considering both the Bluesound Node Icon, and an upgraded Billie (used....after new one comes out)
What say you?
