in my view, it's best to have the streamer and DAC as one unit so the signal path is shorter (no cables needed) and no conversion of the signal which remains as I2S.
The best music server is a Roon nucleus (or cheaper copy) with LPS.
What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
Wondering what improvements I can made to my streaming end and what you all are using.
Not looking to rip CDs and I mostly listen to vinyl.
System right now is:
Node 2 (latest version used streaming only with Roon)
Bel Canto e.One ref DAC 2.7
Bel Canto e.One ref CD3t Transport.
Bel Canto e.One ref 501S (best Class D to date to ever grace my system)
Mini GaN 5 ( had to try it and swap it in and out)
AM Qualiton X200 Tube Integrated (love it and gets most use)
QLN Prestige 5 Speakers.
All cables and wires are Signal Cable.
Appreciate the constructive feedback.
Have a great day.
