Roon Ready Streamer for Denon A1H?

[famasfilms]

I want a Roon Ready streamer to go my Denon A1H and am unsure if the streamer matters if you're connecting it to an AVR via digital coaxial? It's just a transport in that scenario, or would an eversolo be audibly better than a wiim pro?


I have a Denon A1H that has ES9018K2M DAC so I assume digital out to the Denon is the best signal path.

The alternative to a Wiim Pro would be an Eversolo and using the Eversolo DAC over the avr DAC, then analogue xlr/RCA. However - this would then need to go ADC to use the Denon room correction, unless I went direct/pure direct - so a trade off.

It would not.

Yes.

Any advantage that the Eversolo's DAC might bring, is fully negated by the Denon's ADC.

Since both analog and digital inputs go through the Denon's DAC anyway, the best results will be achieved using digital in.

Digital->DSP->DAC is always better than Digital->Analog->Digital->DSP->DAC.

Thanks, I'll open this wiim pro that Amazon just dropped off then
