Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp

Actually Alvin is both smarter and more pleasant than Amir.

All streamers have no sound = Head in the sand.

poor advice, and the words of someone with little/no experience comparing streamers and/or has a system or ears incapable of revealing the differences.

Or maybe someone who has spent a lot of time with streaming tech, has a good system with lots of options, and a good ear.

Soix is probably right when he says the majority agree with him, but this is a self selecting group.  Wouldn’t it be a pretty useless community if everyone had to agree on everything?  No need to throw insults to those with their own opinions.

I’d rather sit with Alvin then Amir for sure!

@jji666  Yup, a self-selecting group that use their ears.  Spending time with streaming tech is not the same as actually listening.  What streamers have you actually compared in your system?  I started streaming with an iPad and have had both the iFi Zen Stream and Innuos Zenith Mk3 in my system and the differences were patently obvious between all three — not even close, which is why saying all streamers sound the same is just ludicrous to me.  If you’ve tried better streamers and hear no difference then fine — sad, but fine — but just basing your argument on theory and tech experience is weak and not fully informed and won’t hold much weight here.  There’s a reason so many here have heard meaningful differences and have upgraded to better streamers, and it ain’t because all streamers have no sound or because they’re fooling themselves.
