| 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. | |
| Solo streamer iFi Zen Stream, Pro-Ject S2 Ultra Streambox, Primare NP5 Prisma, Volumio Rivo | |
| Solo streamer @soix Lol!!!!! Thank you so much for that clarification! | |

| Solo streamer @audphile1 Whoa!!!! But I’m ok if the administrators don’t take that down. To quote Maya Angelou: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.” | |
| Solo streamer Go for it. I get it. Sometimes we just want to spend money to make ourselves feel better. But keep in mind that even a dealer has advised you against that purchase! One of my favorite aphorisms: “The human psyche has an infinite capacity for s... | |
| Solo streamer @audphile1 Surprise! Am gonna have to disagree with respect to the soundness of the decision. You - and others - are applauding the OP for spending more on his streamer than he has spent on any other component in his system, indeed more than th... | |
| Solo streamer lol! and if you don’t hear a difference, you’ll be accused of having inadequate hearing, an insufficiently resolving system, or both. Good luck! | |
| Solo streamer @lanx0003 I don’t know man. Many of my posts on this forum are intended to help others make sound decisions when they purchase gear, regardless of how much they can spend. I will admit, it does upset me when I see someone convinced to spend a l... | |
