@david_ten -- is the salmon delta/sigma, R2R, or NOS?
Help settle a streaming argument!
This is a SQ argument and is as follows- I argue if you connect your streamer to an outboard DAC the streamer does not matter it’s just serving the music to the outboard DAC to do the work. Therefore, buy a basic streamer. The other is that you need to buy a top quality streamer and DAC to get great SQ.
I liken it to cd players or the more pretentious cd transport argument- if the intent is to connect to outboard DAC the cd player doesn’t matter the outboard DAC DOES!
features and functionality aside! Thoughts…..

So CLEARLY misguided says the man who so CLEARLY never listened to a quality streamer. More false, naïve and misguided words have ever been spoken. I speak these words from a position of authority bc I have a great, state of the art in the Mola Mola Tambaqui. It connects as a network streamer to Roon and sounds very good. But it doesn’t sound NEARLY as good as when fed by my Sonore Rendu SE via USB OR via AES by my new Antipodes K22 player. Perhaps your intention as to create acrimony and division? That’s all you’ll get from me. |
@soix well actually yes, if they didn’t hear humming or cracking sounds with original streamer. Do you really think none of those folks were fooling themselves? Hey maybe you are correct, but based on evidence presented to me, most streamers have identical SQ. I need more than “He said, she said” to convince me otherwise. |
@desktopguy The analogy was about what's upstream of the DAC, irrespective of DAC type. In other words, not about the DAC. I have been really happy with both R2R and Delta/Sigma DACs. Currently using Delta/Sigma. |
