Are There Roon Ready I2S Streamers? I'm using an iFi Zen Streamer through a Matrix Audio X-SPDIF to connect I2S to my DAC. There's always a trade off. I've added another device in the signal chain (and associated cables) but so far the improvement over USB is worth it to my ears. N... | |
Anyone still use MiniDisc, DDC tape or DAT tapes? @jriggy that is just too cool. ‘Tapers’ such as yourself are responsible for recording and preserving an incredible treasure trove of music that would otherwise be lost forever.

For those that have separate Streamers & DACS I'm using iFi Zen Streamer USB to Wyred4Sound DAC2v2SE. The iFi Zen was a little kludgey for initial setup but it sounds far better than I expected. At a $399 price point I wasn't expecting much and I'm still pleasantly surprised. The Zen stream ... | |

PS auido Direct stream Dac Hello,I’m following this with great interest as I own the Cambridge Azure 851n and think it sounds great. By way of introduction, I don’t have a golden ear nor am I an audiophile. I’m also fairly new to streaming and the 851n is my first foray int... | |
