| Looking for best streamer without DAC under $3500 the Oppo players have ability to stream Tidal and you can use an outboard DAC if needed. sound very good. i still prefer flac files stored on a hard drive to streaming. i don’t see the point in spending thousands just to hear the White Album again... | |

| Am I deaf? i have a NAD D1050 have not heard the Chord, but on my Rega system it's very very good. i think the DAC game is over, it's gotten as good as your going to get after 30 years of development. all the major improvements have been made in SQ. listen... | |

| Pls Recommend Streamer Under $500 for Tidal “HiFi” heard the Bluesound 2i last week streaming lossless to some PSB T2's sounded very good using it's internal DAC. however i read an article where the Bluesound was put on the test bench and did not measure so well. go figure. | |
