Evening all. I'm looking for advice on the final piece of what will be an all ASR rig. I bought all of the above after consulting both ASR and my wallet, mainly the latter if I'm honest. The new amp hasn't arrived yet, but the DAC and speakers have both delivered in spades, so thanks to all who led me to both.
The final item I need is a streamer to replace the USB lead + Windows Surface Pro combo I currently use.
But before I go into that, the M16 thread mentions the bass hump and has several folk discussing EQ profiles to eradicate it. I would like to integrate some kind of EQ/DSP/Room correction into my system. How can I do that? Is it something that can be done at the streamer end of the chain?
As for the streamer, I'm just looking for a simple way to send Qobuz hi-res to my dac. That's all. I only listen to music via streaming.
If anyone is going to suggest a Pi: are there any pre built ones I can look at? There's a high likelihood I'd solder my fingers together if I went down the DIY route. Also, would the Pi simply plug & play and show up as an endpoint in the native android Qobuz app? I'm not too keen on adding clunky software layers to the process.
I already have a CCA which works within its file limitations, but.... as soon as I put my phone down it shuts down the connection to the Qobuz app, meaning I have to close Qobuz, reopen it, re-search then re-play, every time. A Qobuz issue rather than a CCA one I believe. Still. No.
Are there any more elegant streaming solutions that won't offend my wallet? I had a node 2i several years back, the app was fairly usable, I could live with that kind of thing I suppose, but not at £500. I'd just like to avoid clunky apps and additional layers of software.
I doubt there's an item that does both the streaming and the room correction, but if anywhere will know....
Much obliged.
