| Point of higher priced streamer? You are distorting reality to suit your desired outcome. IF there were packet sized dropouts in audio due to UDP/WiFi then you absolutely would hear clicks and pops and breaks. If that happens you know you have a problem. It’s not a matter of well... | |
| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? Its audio not rocket science. If you want bit perfect you can have bit perfect and you can do it very inexpensively.Sure you can. But how is the "bit-perfect" data being translated and rendered?If I am using a player software with digital EQ and a... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? This is audio not rocket science. Even 24/192 is minimal data and and any number of bit perfect options exist. Wireless networks are more than sufficient to carry audio error free with retry. Again not rocket science. Data rates are way faster tha... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? On Shunyata, you make it sound like they only make $6,000 power cords. Which is far from reality. In fact, their current lineup, Venom NR v12 is an excellent power cord, at only $398. Obviously less, if you know the right people. Give it try, you ... | |
| Does Step-up transformer affect the Sound Quality? Hello,I find an interesting DAC oversea, and want to use it at home. (US)I’m wondering if using Step-down transformer affect Sound Quality.Here are the specification.I would first suggest checking with the DAC manufacturer if they are able to easi... | |
| 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.. ? It explains a number of potentialities, a few of which are -Your comparisons may have been made using a flawed method of evaluat... | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? Audiofools don’t like blind tests.I once took a Chinese DAC board I’d bought from eBay to a “bake off” (not sure what you call Hifi meet-ups in US?).It was hooked up into the same Pre amp as a fancy milled Aluminium Chord 64. Track played & ... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? I am not sure if WiFi is also a contender for this. Other that Aurelic no one else is pushing Wifi.WiFi should only be used when absolutely necessary. I know there are Auralic guys who claim the WiFi input on their streamers is the better connecti... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? I was not expecting the AirPlay2 to sound so close sonically to the microRendu. @yyzsantabarbara If you are using USB from a microRendu into a USB DAC, the DAC is treating the data differently than through a network connection.The technical reason... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? @vinylshadow But there aren’t many "inexpensive" options where I can use my phone as the controller.Actually, there are quite a few. If you do a little research you'll find there are a lot of apps for Android or iPhone which offer the ability to u... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Could be none of the above. Unless the two were compared with a controlled blind test it doesn't tell us anything. To me Quboz sounds better than a flash drive connected to the streamer, again unless I did this comparison blind it tells us nothing... | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? Ah, who moderates this forum? Would you please explain why you removed my post?It looked like spamIt was abusive towards another memberIt depicts explicit and/or violent contentIt contains profanityOK, so other folks can make unsubstantiated, subj... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Listening to local music files on a USB memory stick attached directly to the Pro-ject streamer sounds smoother, clearer and with better musical flow than the same track via Qobuz.If the files are actually the same, then this is likely due to the ... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? @arafiq Apologies accepted. In my experience, there aren't too many folks posting around on forums capable of answering the kind of questions OP posted, so I would hope my content differs wildly from the opinions of others who have tried and failed. | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? It's funny how no one can actually make any relevant commentary, apparently no real experience. |
