I must say, if I stream Qobuz the sound is quite impressive. However, a probable fatal flaw for me is that i love the classically oriented Idagio app, which can only be accessed through AirPlay on Conductor.  AirPlay on Conductor is far inferior t...

Well, I actually got my streamer Tuesday night.   It’s taken me a while to figure it out but finally got most of it. I haven’t actually heard it in any depth yet, but will so later tonight. Will report my impressions soon.

@mdalton, Do you include yourself as one of the “dogmatists on this forum” from your  definition?

@mdalton, How is it being a dogmatist when you state, in your experience, one streamer sounds better than another? Are those who say that, delusional or liars? Rather, isn’t it being a dogmatist to insist, in spite of observational evidence, tha...

Although I’m now really liking my current streamer, I have nothing to lose in trying the Aurender so I probably will let the sale go through.
