| Point of higher priced streamer? ASR didn't "advocate " for a LPS you might want to read that thread a little closer. They said the microRendu worked as a roon endpoint but a better alternative was the SMS-200. They recommended using a LPS or a good SMPS . | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Don’t let anyone talk you into a $640 ethernet switch. If you need more ports just get a netgear or cisco. Actually you would be better off using a managed switch, setting up a VLAN and using port priority. You can get a managed switch under $100 | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Yes, I do. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? ^^ That's a forum, I saw 2 posts by admin where he shows very little patience with the notion using a different power supply changes SQ. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Yes, very hard to tell apples from oranges.https://archimago.blogspot.com/2013/02/high-bitrate-mp3-internet-blind-test.html | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? I wondered how long it would take to see through the apples to oranges comparison. At any rate take the apple 320kb Mp3 and orange FLAC through identical streamers to identical amps and speakers and I wonder how many could tell the apple from the ... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Any non digital aspects coming from a streamer to a DAC like distortion or noise would show on the analog out of the DAC if it is bad enough. If not the DAC is capable of dealing with it. The point is not are there differences but are they audibl... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Data transmission over wifi is perfectly capable. There was nothing in the "explanation " to refute it. If "ones" were not "ones" and "zeroes" not "zeroes" binary digital language wouldn't work. Noone disputes there are differences in streamers th... | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? Merry Christmas to you too. | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? You moron there was no rest of the system. A streamer and Dutch and Dutch 8c was it. So which was crap the Lumin, Bel Canto, etc.. or the Dutch and Dutch? You really are a pathetic excuse of a human. | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? I tried a Bel Canto, Auralic, Lumin, Minidsp SHD Studio, raspberry pi4 running Ropiee through a Matrix X-SPDIF2, Simaudio Moon. These were all fed ethernet by Cat 6a cable and used as roon endpoints. They were connected by AES3 cables to Dutch an... | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? I’ve yet to see a technical accurate analysis of why there is a difference is SQ between two streamers. I’ve seen reasons why there might be audible differences which I have admitted. Just as a class A amp and class D have differences in their bui... | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? Really? Explains what exactly, no difference between the raspberry pi or the Bel Canto or Aurrender or Innous etc.. ? | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) Revel Salon 2 if you can find them. | |
| XLRs | AES48 Standard | Matrix Mini-i 3 Pro | Benchmark DAC3B I thought AES 48 was simply them addressing the pin1 problem. I can't imagine not supporting it all it does is ground pin 1 to chassis. |
