| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT No offense intended but the length of your reply and it’s style smell of AI, am I correct? No offence taken Bruce. I have been overwhelmed by the extent of engagement on the subject of my enquiry. So I used AI as a cross referencing tool as I ... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT Having chewed my way through and taken on board the many interesting, informed, passionate and sometimes provocatively forthright opinions from within our community, I have been through a weekend of introspection, weighing up what I have learned a... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT Yes, it's the cheap DACs and streamers that have really been pushing I2S. It's a shame people are basing their choice on a connection with no universal standard Ben of Mojo Audio has stated more than once that I2S is not his preferred scheme.... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT It’s like you never even read my initial response because I thought I provided a pretty clear explanation of what a streamer does and why it’s important.

It has several fully balanced XLR inputs an... | |
| Better DAC or better Streamer Since the original questioner asked what would be the better upgrade, I believe it to be by any measure the DAVE DAC. It leaves some space for enjoyable experimentation to try a couple well regarded inexpensive streamers, some mid price and one o... | |
| Better DAC or better Streamer I suppose you could make the same argument for any solid state or a tube amplifier then, yes? So once someone gets to that 2-3K level, there are no further benefits to be had? Yes I agree on the face of it, we could make that comparison/ argume... | |
| Better DAC or better Streamer I stress these are my own opinions and experiences and would in no way seek to diminish the experience of others who can justify the additional expense. I can understand that streamers are not all the same but we may have a situation here, where ... | |
| McIntosh purchased by Bose...NOT an April Fool's joke. Sadly its downhill for Bose from here........My Bad? | |
