streamer

So far I’m only been using Bluetooth, and it kinda sucks, so I’m looking for an streamer. My eyes are currently on the wiim ultra or pro plus. Im mostly using qobuz and Apple Music. The ultra sadly doesn’t support airplay 2.. but has some other nice features. For me room correction is also a...

Hello, Fellow Audio Enthusiasts, I'm excited to share the results of a year-long DIY adventure with you all! After many hours tinkering, I've developed a solution to stream audio from Raspberry Pi 4B with a HiFiBerry Digi2 Pro card to my old and rusty Yamaha RN-602 MusicCast device via optical...

Apparently dCS is expanding to streamers along with separate chassis mono DACs, clock and upsampler. But will they continue threatening to sue reviewers? That is the question! lol

Hi everybody! Searching for a good app / device for managing my music from my phone, and do some EQ corrections I was intended to buy a WiiM Ultra. But recently I had good echoes from Roon Player, their website tell that I can manage the whole library and even third party apps (Qobuz in my...

I currently own NODE (Gen 3) and I'm interested in CX100 only for its display (to see the cover arts). I'm wondering if moving from NODE (optical output) to CX100 (or any other streamer such as Eversolo] while using external DAC (RME ADI) would result in any change in sound quality and in what...

Hello, I'm looking here for an advice. I'm the happy owner of a R-N803D amplifier since 2019, which I mainly use for online music services (Tidal/Deezer Premium), it's a reliable, easy to use all-in-one amp. During these 5 years I improved the setup testing few pairs of speakers (B&W603...

Hello everyone, I have a pair of Genelec 8240A's and I was "driving" them via Focusrite 2i2 (2nd gen) + custom XLR Klotz cables. This was ages ago, now I want to play PC sound and stream from my Android phone (YT Music). From what I read here, I should stay digital only, something like WiiM Pro...

I’m a newbie, to digital, I admit it. I’m confused on digital to digital output and if DA conversion occurs once, twice. I’d like to stream (have a Pro + w the DAC), to my R26 R2R (which I feed to a Levinson preamp via XLR). If I’m running Wiim via say Optical (24/192 vis WiFi), into Gustard...

Some LUMIN models include an optical network port intended to provide complete isolation from network digital noise. Is it justified to upgrade from ethernet cable ? 15 Meters long. Thanks. https://www.luminmusic.com/manual/network-music-servers.html

Well the story is simple. I am pretty happy with my Denon AVR. Unfortunately, it does not have Tidal connect. Heos app is a useless crap. And finally, Spotify still hasn't delivered their CD quality streams. So the goal is to achieve convenience of the Spotify with my hardware and enjoy Tidal...

I’ve noticed when using Qobuz with an Arylic streamer I browse unknown music and albums less because the time to change / play tracks + albums is often up to a second after clicking. Is this just a reality of wireless / cloud streaming or can it be made faster by spending more on a better...

Hello everyone! I just picked up a pair of Definitive Technology BP-9020 speakers for a killer deal and am trying to decide which route to go with regards to amplification/interface. Budget is around the $300-350 USD range. I was planning on going with the Yamaha R-N303, but am wondering if...

Hi, I'm looking for Streamer + DAC combo to add it to my setup. (it can be one device) I currently have: - old CEC AMP3 (from 1993, got it as a gift, it has both unbalanced and balanced inputs) - old LUA 5/3 D DIVA (also gift) - Epiphany USB EDAC (aka. NwAvGuy ODAC, I was using it with PC...

I have a lot of audio dramas and audiobooks, the problem is most players don’t have a bookmarking feature so it’s difficult to resume from where I left off.

Hello everyone, after about six months of second thoughts and changes I present to you my Christmas present. It's a network streamer, but I'd call it PC audio. For now only the first part is completed, the second part which is just a cabinet containing the DAC (smsl DO300) is still WIP, but from...

This is a great forum, and im really glad i found it in pursuit of better sound. There is way to much bro-science out there. With that said, i havent read everything in here, so i might as well ask and see what the thoughts are. Im thinking streamers. Streamers doesnt convert the signal so in...

Greetings, this is just a general presentation of what kind of an audio system I would like to build and if everything will work together. Thank you in advance. Parts: - Speakers: Kef Ls50 Meta (already have- found good local second hand deal) also nice banana plugs and cables - Streamer: Wiim...

Hey, I am considering buying a pair of Genelec 8030C as my first quality speakers but i want to be able to stream to it. So i wonder whats the best solution is for a streamer Max budget $150.

I’ve already had $90 USB-C DAC and $90 Stereo Amp. Hopefully can find $90 Music Streamer with USB output only to replace my iPad Pro streamer app. Can anyone recommend something?
