| 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. | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs @carlsbad2 I hear you on Bel Canto not building DACs with USB, but it seems they are in the practice now. As I looked into the Sonore Rendu... So many boxes needing power supplies. Doesn't take long to get the price tag past $2500. I've heard am... | |
| Experience with Modwright products? I'm in Canada, I'll have to wait for a Hifi show at little closer. Cheers | |
| Experience with Modwright products? @jbhiller , Very much appreciated. It's very hard to find info about the sound of these units. Plenty of info about all the other Modwright products. Thanks again JB | |
| Experience with Modwright products? @jbhiller , Thanks for that insight, I’m running the newer Revival Atalante 3’s and they are listed at 87db 4ohms. You are talking about the mono blocks running out of gas I presume ? I’m more interested in the preamp. Cheers | |
| Experience with Modwright products? Great chatter about Modwright. Anyone have any experience with his newer product LS99. Looks like the whole package. Separate power supply, Balanced ins/outs(I don't believe they are single ended wiring) Ticks all my boxes, but not a ton of revi... |
