I’ve found the Bricasti M5 a superb streamer, it just sounds very right. I use it with an Network Acoustics ENO filter and Ethernet cable on the input and find the AES output sounds the best.
Would I benefit from a dedicated streamer?
Currently, I'm streaming directly from a Roon Nucleus to the Holo May KTE DAC. Would there be any sonic benefit from adding a streamer to the chain? Or any benefit at all? For reference, I have narrowed my choices down to these three, probably in this order:
Auralic G2.1
Lumin U1
Innos ZENith Mk3
I liken this to the discussion about adding a preamp to the chain, when your DAC has a volume control. I'm in the camp for adding the preamp. To me, it sounds better. Thanks for your help.
