| Solo streamer @invalid so your point is that manufacturers who charge tens of thousands of dollars for products they claim are noise-free have no obligation to show us the data they use to engineer their miracles? That’s religion, not audio gear my friend. A... | |
| Solo streamer @audphile1 thans for heads up. I have a history of being a little naive regarding others’ motives. | |
| Solo streamer @soix you never fail to meet expectations. thank you for providing a reliable, calming source of anger and nastiness. in this moment of cultural unrest and division in our country, we have so few places where we are not buffetted by the winds o... | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano nope. just take a look at my first post on this thread, where I said: “Here’s a link to a recent thread where competing perspectives on this issue are discussed:“ recent streamer I didn’t suggest to you that the alternate view to ... | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano not what I said. Here’s a definition: person who believes too strongly that their personal opinions or beliefs are correct. We can discuss further, but perhaps the person who engages in ad hominem attacks at the mere mention of an alt... | |

| Solo streamer @abnerjack Yeah, I saw your post and basically agreed. As you’ve no doubt noticed, I’m a streamer skeptic, but you can’t have it both ways. You can’t claim that streamers sound different, different tonality even, and then argue that you can’t h... | |
| Solo streamer Respectfully, I do not understand the posts that suggest the OP won’t know what the Aurender is capable of with his current DAC. The one thing most agree on with respect to the Benchmark DAC is that it is highly resolving, very transparent. The ... | |
| Solo streamer @calvinandhobbes (love your handle!) your experience is consistent with what I’ve been arguing here: streamers don’t have a sound. The difference across streamers is just differences in jitter and other noise. So the best streamers just get ou... | |
| Solo streamer with respect to streamers, Goldensound recommends the ifi Zen stream ($400), Holo Red ($800), and Pi2 Design Mercury ($600). | |
| Solo streamer oh, or make your own using Raspberry Pi for less than $200. |
