streamer

Hello I have a rPi 4 and an Apple type C dongle and want to turn it into an Airport receiver. I have tried the popular dedicated rPi OS: PCP with LMS: no simple way to get parametric EQ. Moode: very buggy with Airplay, I would constantly get issues where no sound was being played Volumio...

Thanks to this great forum, I've upgraded to the Elac DBR-62 speakers (thank you!). The rest is still a mystery for me. Currently considering piecing the following setup and am curious: Q1. Which elements should I change/upgrade to improve the audio quality/experience the most? Bearing in mind...

Does anyone got any measurement on Taiko Audio SGM Extreme to publish vs a more normal streamer like a Aurender N20 , Aurender N30SA , Auralic G1 streamer or a dCS Network Bridge ? Is it possible to measure any difference? And if so, is Taiko SGM the superior streamer / server ? @amirm

Hello all , here’s one request for the swarm intelligence. I have noticed the Swedish- Chinese Audio Pro Link 2 alternative to the WIIM Pro streamer in the WIIM pro thread. I’ve seen it touched briefly as well in DARKO’s year’s end product portfolio achieving visibly less enthusiasm than the...

The most budget audio streamer option is an HDMI streaming stick. The cheapest of them fluctuates around $30. However, there is a problem. All known HDMI sticks upsample everything to 48kHz. Yes, connecting USB DAC to some of them is possible, but it complicates things and increases the price...

I was reading about this Sony streamer. Anyone measured or tried it? It has auto-calibration, which I assume is some measurement-PEQ process. https://www.sony.com/tz/electronics/home-speakers/srs-ra5000

Dear all, I have a traditional HIFI setting and I also listen to music through Qobuz. I'm often using a computer or a tablet plugged to the amp with a simple jack to RCA connector and I'm planning to buy a DAC + Streamer (in one or two pieces). I have a question regarding the cache. Using...

I'm looking to set up a streamer in my living room in the not-so-distant future and have been looking into my options. The setup in the room hosts a Marantz NR1605 which powers my speakers and takes input from a HTPC and record player today. The streamer would most likely connect to the NR1605...

Hey all, At the moment I have a Denon X3700 as Preamp, which for the long time fed a Yamaha MX-1 with Dynaudio Evoke 50s, recently joined by the Evoke Center and the Dynaudio Sub 6. Long time lurking and reading led me to upgrade the MX-1 to a Boxem Arthur 4215/E2 which arrived today and is a...

Longtime ASR lurker here -- couldn't live without the great reviews and community advice -- but first-time seller, though I have feedback on other sites and forums. This is a fully featured digital streamer and preamplifer with Anthem ARC room correction built in. You can stream via the app...

Hey guys I have gotten my hands on a pair of these SBCs and I was wondering if I can load Moode or PiCorePlayer on these. I know they are distros built specifically for the pi and was wondering if I could achieve the same streaming capabilities from one. If not, what can I do (using Ubuntu...

Has someone already listened too or compared this streamer? It’s the successor of the U1 Mini which got great feedback among users.

Issue: Between tracks the DAC gives audible click and also a popping noise from speakers. Enough to ruin listening experience. Tried: Reverted back to using the AUX out and bypassing the DAC = works fine. Same issue if I use a different USB power source If I take the WiiM out the mix and use...

I am trying to get into "good-sounding" world, but need help with choosing streaming server for my DAC (TEAC UD-505). I will not use laptop, I don't really want to build pc right now (but will later, if necessary), so I thought about buying mini pc. I'm thinking MeLE Fanless Mini PC Quieter3Q...

Just wanted to check whether there is any issues (mostly quality) in the above configuration of using the Google Chromecast as streamer into the TV which goes into the AMP? The idea is to use the GC as WiFi streamer, which should send a digital signal to the TV Optical Out port, which should...

I am proud to announce that we will be present at the 2022 Speakerfest in Phoenix, AZ Orchard Audio will have two setups at the event. Setup 1: Floor standing (ELAC Uni-Fi Reference UFR52) speakers driven by the Starkrimson Stereo Ultra amplifier Setup 2: Bookshelf (ELAC Uni-Fi Reference UBR62)...

Hello, I'm curious about this product. There are no reviews. Octavio is like a French copycat of Bluesound. They made a first splash with their Octavio Stream (200€), a streaming DAC with only one AUX input and no digital outputs. Octavio uses Octavio Virtuose for streaming. It looks...

Hello everyone, First post here (please MODs move my thread elsewhere if chosen section not appropriate) So I'm trying to reorganise my hi-fi listening setup around the sources we most often use around the house. Like for many people, my old setup can play CDs and records but it's blind to the...

Hi, I am new here. Has anyone measured or compared streamers for a Hugo TT2 USB input which I understand is well engineered. I am running an RPi4 with ropieexl out of one of the 4 RPi USB outputs. Got a better power supply for the RPi4 and it does seem to make some difference although I am...

Hi all, Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move if so. It's hard considering the question has to do with amps, streamers and turntables. It's also hard because I'm a bit of a noob. I'm currently trying to create a nice entry level-ish setup for the living room based around...
