Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
A Streamer Dac is not the same as a pure streamer! I have said this repeatedly. A pure Streamer is a digital device and can have only digital volume control.I dont understand the confusion here, as I never said a Streamer Dac cant do analog VC. A ...

Guido,In addition to the constant bit shuffling to facilitate speed optimization, there seems to be power related issue too that you can flesh out from this thread:http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f10-music-servers/battery-powered-solid-state-dri...

Matt,I am going to have a full day listning session with the Dartzeel Ethernet dac/Integrated amp (the one soon to be released) in 2 weeks, i will let you know.USB stick is a no-no for ultimate performance and NAS(ties) have too many issues in ter...

Not so sure that Ethernet connection will last. Too many pitfalls connecting to a NAS(ty) for ultimate performance.Drive capacity goes up as prices fall.Who wouldnt like their entire library in the top pocket for absolute total mobility?My 2cents

The Lumin UPnP Network Player is a Linux-based player and DAC with a digital volume control all wrapped up in a gorgeously smooth machined 17+ pound slab of solid aluminum. http://www.audiostream.com/content/lumin-network-music-player

You need to work on the Transport side.So much cahhetr about the Dacs (which have been improving) but benign neglect of the Transport.Try getting a CAPs server running windows 2012 server and Audiophile Optimiser in core Mode, a Sonore signature R...

Audiolab,Lumin is your best bet at the moment. I have a contact that can do you a better price than retail, so contact me if you want to go that way and save some $$$.A pal told me that its dead easy to setup and the Dac feedback is very competent...

Lumin is a Streamer/Dac, not a server.$7K full retail for the basic one and about $11K for the topline one that does DSD2x.
