| Streamer for Metrum Onyx I2S connection I think the only benefit would be using the amber streamer which is set up to interface with their proprietary way of using I2S. Since you mentioned you weren't interested in the Amber I was only pointing out I doubt there would be much if any rea... | |

| Youngsters these days. I'm a Boomer who went the streaming route. I might have hundreds of CDs ripped to my server but Quboz has hundreds of thousands. My monthly service pays for itself since ii no longer buy CDs. To each his own. | |
