hi, im new to the whole audiophile world. I just watched this video by Jay's iyagi. In it he says the following:
Can anyone explain like im 5? Does this streamer re-do the mastering to correct the lack of sound stage and clarity the recording engineer left behind? Does it send different digital data to the DAC then what it receives from internet or a computer? Also is he referring to CD players without a DAC here? Those would do an even better job at this?
I'm lost.
this is the Aurender N20 streamer which means that it doesn't have any DAC or preamp or anything else built into the unit it's a solo pure streamer now first and foremost the thing that I really like about this unit is that it sounds absolutely amazing to me. First of all when I hooked it up in my system I found that the base was more dynamic, things were more crisp and detailed and the sound stage both width and depth improved in my system in a quite drastic way from let's say something like the ever solo A6 or the A8 for example and this is particularly important for me because personally for me you know I always say that CD players sound better than streamers to this day even though you know streamers are way more convenient I find CD players to still sound better dollar for dollar. But of course I value the convenience and especially as someone that reviews gear and speakers it's important for me to be able to play any music at any point in time right away and be able to test that in my system
