| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @mclinnguy Got it. As far as what Daniel Weiss said: maybe you indicated that you have a streamer you want to use, so he didn’t mention the built-in streamer. It’s interesting he prefers USB over AES because of the fundamental difference I’ve men... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @mclinnguy Very interesting: thanks for sharing, and congrats on your K50! Actually, I think your comment about how much is due to the difference between the internal renderers of the Weiss vs. K50, vs. how much is due to just getting the Macbook... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @verdantaudio Makes sense: thanks! | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @verdantaudio Thanks, but my concern is more about the input type: i.e., SPDIF from a mid-level streamer vs. LAN input from a server using the internal Weiss renderer. The point of this concern is that the clocks are different. In the former case... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @verdantaudio Would you say that $2-3k is better spent on a custom built server with a OXCO-clocked LAN card for feeding the internal renderer of the Weiss, rather than a "middle" range SPDIF streamer like a Eversolo DMP-A8 or Auralic G1.1? These ... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @mclinnguy But, he was probably doing USB into the Weiss from the Rendu. This is important, since USB and LAN inputs use the Weiss clocks, whereas SPDIF and AES inputs use the streamer clocks. The Rendu can only do USB. | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @mclinnguy Thanks for the review and info. Unless @mistercrash has had experience with external streamers into the Weiss, I think I'll pull the trigger on the Eversolo DMP-A8. Reason: of all the streaming options mentioned, this is the cheapest ($... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @greg_f @mclinnguy I haven't actually tried any of the streamers yet, so all this is just speculation, and hoping to find someone who has tried a few and can advise if they outperform the onboard streamer in the Weiss. Btw my Weiss is already the... | |
| Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8 @dwest1023 May I ask how your DMP-A8 compared to the RS130, with both only used as a digital streamer into an external DAC? I hear some opinions that the A8 is as good as the RS130, with others claiming the RS130 (and Lumin U2) are superior. My ... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @mclinnguy Your question about streamers comes at a time when I have been wondering if an external streamer can improve the Weiss, especially when using the SPDIF/AES inputs, since using these uses the clocks on the streamer, instead of the clocks... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Thanks! | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Was the question asked on this thread about whether the Weiss actually has a built-in streamer or not, ever definitively answered? As that question noted, though the Weiss is Roon Ready, the upstream server could be performing the function of the... |
