New streamer needed Thanks, the Auralic G1 looks interesting and on the used market affordable. You say it's at the bright side. I guess my Merason Frerot dac can handle that. But does it also have an Android app? | |
New streamer needed Yes it does with a usb WiFi antenna. Should be the same as built-in WiFi. Not sure if I would need dsd and more than 192k. List price was €3490 versus €990 for the Volumio. Something will account for the price difference.... | |
New streamer needed Actually, I am hesitating between the Volumio Rivo and the Metronome DSS1 which is much more expensive but I can get for a good price. It's from a high-end french company. | |
New streamer needed Measured again. Speed is 144Mbps, strength -42 dBm. I assume that is good enough for WiFi connection I guess. I have seen the 432 EVO but it's not wireless, I think. The Italian Volumio Revo looks great too at an affordable price. | |
New streamer needed 63mbps | |
New streamer needed Does anyone know if a higher end wifi streamer is better able to 'neutralize' the lower quality of the wireless connection (vs wired) than a cheaper streamer? | |
New streamer needed Because of all kinds of security issues, it appears I cannot install a mesh network in the house. That means I would need a streamer with WiFi connectivity. The Métronome DSS2 ticks all the boxes, but is expensive and not available on the used mar... | |
New streamer needed Thanks, I will try that. | |
New streamer needed To make a wireless connection, is Is anyone of you using a TP link plugged into your router in one space and a slave unit put into the room the system is in, and from there to your streamer? Would that work for high resolution files? | |
New streamer needed @audphile1 No worries, as long as it is funny and ethical. Indeed, I would prefer a double blind experimental setup. @moonwatcher I am using Qobuz since 2015.Good point about the interface. | |
New streamer needed That sounds like a good price. Which CD-Player are you using? Vinyl is also my number one. | |
New streamer needed Thanks, makes sense! Now just need to find the right streamer model that can be tried at home in my system. And then trying to eliminate confounders... | |
New streamer needed Might be true, I don't know. I like(d) my streamer but it doesn't function anymore, so that's why I need a new one. Bottom line is that I am trying to find one now that comes close to what I hear/like from my CD transport. That's all. | |
New streamer needed @riccitone No worries, I am not offended by anyone who is trying to help. I can appreciate that. @mdalton I guess the W4S version you have tried will have been similar to mine, though mine didn't have an internal dac. Upgrading my external dac to... | |
New streamer needed Thanks, I will look into that! |
