@deep_333 , re: streamers Asynchronous output. Very interesting as I just picked up an Ayre QB9TWENTY. I'm absolutely loving it, just using with a laptop so far. Very special dac! I've wondered as I explore streamer options to pair how important it be that the streamer outputs in an Asynchronous path?? Sounds like it's vital. Is wimm one of the only ones? I would certainly upgrade to Lumin or Auralic's new S1 but didn't want to immediately disregard the ultra... The feature set looks fantastic for the price. And what about the new mac mini m4 optimized as streamer?
Appreciate any thoughts from you and the group, as you're the only one who has mentioned this "not so insignificant point"
What is your favorite budget streamer?
Looking for a bedroom streamer. I have a DAC and headphone amp and don't need to connect speakers or even need a DAC. Your ideas for a budget streamer at $350 or less? Experience is welcome here.
