| Educate me on music streamers, please. All of the "major" streamer companies have Tidal and Qobuz but you will need to go to Deezer's website to see which companies license their service as it's not a lot and they don't make it easy to find out. | |
| TEAC NT-505 FUNCTIONAL REVIEW I did it for a while with a TP Link WiFi extender and now with a cable from an Xfinity Pod. Never had an issue with either. | |

| PS Direct Stream Vs. Wyred 4 Sound Dac. ozzyIf you generally like the sound profile of the DS Sr. then take a look at the Aqua La Voce S3 as it will do 24/192 over AES/EBU. I own both and prefer the Aqua. https://www.aquahifi.com/la_voce.html#:~:text=Designed%20to%20provide%20absolut... | |
