| Great network streamers with only USB outputs I feel like less in the chain is best. I'm going Spdif out of the Antipodes directly to my Bel Canto DAC. I really don't think my ears will pick up on the differences I'm getting from my Server/Streamer. I'm trying to keep the music chain a stream... | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs @mitch2 @v-fi , I didn't find a few of USB converters for sale. Bryston BUC and 2 Bel Canto converters, ULink & RefLink Just put it on hold for now. I'll ask about this with the tech from Antipodes tonight. | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs I’m hoping to get to know the staff at Antipodes. I’m having issues...... Unlike many companies, I was able to book an appt with Antipodes. Talk about next level... cheers | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs @krell_fan1 , thanks Krell, I'm into the Antipodes world of streaming/Servers. This is such a beautiful unit. I was fortunate to get it in mint condition. all the original boxes and paperwork. Still in the learning process, but thankfully Antipo... | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs @soix btw Soix, I have the most updated version of Bel Canto 3.7 power supply. I got it upgraded from the VBS1 to a VBL(Linear). I lost the 3 connections for only one, didn't need a 3 connection setup. Dac also go a reference upgrade, I couldn't a... | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs Update: I've purchased a Antipodes DS-3 recently upgraded by the company in 2020 with 4TB SSD drives among other things. This unit does have a Spdif output, despite the company suggesting to use USB. I paid $550usd + S booster linear power suppl... | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs @tvad Always had the Holo Red in my mind. decent price, great reviews. @ivickery I looked into the Bel Canto OS (Seek) didn't interest me. I'm looking into using a Bryston BUC-1 - USB-Spdif/AES/BNC converter. Not ideal, but probably won't gegra... | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs @mazian Appears to only have USB out on it. Perhaps it would be worth get a USB converter. | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs @mazian I'm lookin' at the DS-3 with upgraded 4TB SSD drives. I think it has a SPDIF output also. Can't find many reviews online. | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs Found a Antipodes with 4TB ssd streamer in my price range. Company seems to have a good rep. | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs I'm thinking my budget is around $1500-$2000usd | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs @tvad Wow, you have had the gamut of streamers. Lots of those streamers are next level pricing, except for the Rendu and Innuos. Thanks so much for your insight. | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs Anyone understand the Sonore stuff ?? Would I be able to run Squeezelite on Sonore Signature Series Ethernet to Spdif Render ? I can handle tech, but ZI have to admit I'm starting to get confused, that is why I've looked at Innuos. | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs @tvad Yes I know that. Pulse Mini seems more affordable than Pulse, but without linear power supply. I like that Innuos lets you use Squeezebox interface and easily flip over to their own Sense app, which I hear is very good. Just haven't heard th... | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs @tvad Thanks, but I'm not sure they all use a squeezebox interface. The main reason I'm sticking with LMS end point is , its a nice open source ecosystem. It's been around for over a decade and it's always being updated. |
