| Point of higher priced streamer? @Thyname, again, you are not giving me any technical explanation. Just subjective measurements. Streamer does one thing, instruct DAC how to create the audio.Regardless, Merry Christmas. Enjoy the music.this is what I have:Streamer: Hifiberry Digi... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? @thyname, there is no wall here. If you all so sure about a $5000 streamer (no DAC) being so much better than a $100-$200 setup, why don’t you also tell us how they accomplish this, so we can all be properly educated?how do you improve your ethern... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? The difference could be just ‘perceived’. There can’t be any. Unless someone tell me where the differences are in technical terms. I call this a ‘snake oil’.Are the comm packets are different? One operating system is better than others (has nothin... | |

| Point of higher priced streamer? Don’t waste your money. There are no differences in the digital packets. I built few pi3 B+ with hifiberry Digi based streamers. They are doing tremendous job streaming hi-res files from my NAS drive and internet.Spend your money on the DAC, speak... | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles The only proper Porsche is 911. Any year, any trim/model (from Carrera to GT-RS). All others are supplemental. | |
| Budget Music Streamer @ghulamr I don’t have a specific write up but I can put one together. I have not compared my setup(s) to Mac Mini. I like building this stuff. Especially with an excellent end result.@audioguy85. Yes analog is great but I’d love to change my music... | |
| Budget Music Streamer If you put together a DAC (either ALLO or HifiBerry), it is important to have a good and quiet LSU (Linear Power Supply) with a toroid or R-Core transformer. You will need to supply Analog part of the DAC separately than digital side. I can give... | |
| Budget Music Streamer I put together a digital streamer using Raspberry PI 3B, Hifiberry Digi+ Pro and a good linear power supply. This is streaming my FLAC files (in my home SAN on WD MyCloud) over WiFi to Rotel RDD-150 DAC.Sound is great.I also have 2 additional Ras... | |
| Simple and Effective Upgrade for Wall Wart Power Supplies @sleepwalker65 “Fleabay”?? Don’t dismiss those that quickly.

There are many very nice ones out there on ebay, etc, with very reasonable prices ($50 - $100).if you are more adventu... | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. No..Get a humidifier and a powerful AC.. Cold humid air is dense and makes sound great.. Better than $10,000 cables but not as good as $20,000 cables...😎Or you can order some Himalayan cave air (for $100,000) to get the absolute heaven in musical... | |
