It is compatible with Rockna, I have a Rockna.
Musica Pristina A Cappella III Streamer ?
Wondering if anyone has had a chance to hear the A Cappella III streamer ? What are your thoughts ? There's only one review online via audio beatnik
https://www.musicapristina.com/products/a-cappella-iii-network-player-streamer/
I'm in the market for a streamer in the 3-5k range. I don't need a CD ripper or anything, just looking for the best delivery of music files primarily off of Roon/Tidal or hi-rez downloads (overall mainly red book quality).
Obvious competitors include Innuos ZENith III etc.
Tend to prioritize devices that can offer the PrAT factor and increased sound stage size/space around players. Any other benefits are a bonus

System:
- Roon/Tidal via computer (tb replaced by the streamer)
- USB
- KTE SU-1 DDR
- AES
- Yggy A2/G5
- RCA
- LTA microZOTL pre
- RCA
- FirstWatt F7/Pass XA25
- Tannoy Eatons

Great news if true - do you have a Wavedream or Wavelight ? You have the older Musical Pristina unit though correct ? -- I have a Wavedream. Kev from MP said supposedly the latest rockna firmware is supposed to allow me to choose between Rockna/PS audio pin configs but I don’t seem to have that option on version 4.7. Tbh - between the Intona USB implementation and the OXCO - it is still very tempting unit, i2s or not ! |
@rdoc, thanks for the kind words, and for answering questions. Jesus from Sonore maintains a list of I2S compatibility between brands. You can find it here: i2s - Google Sheets From what I was told, Rockna rolled out a firmware portal. From there you can gain you access to the latest firmware. The one dated NOV 3 *should* provide you with the ability to convert your I2S HDMI input to accept the Musica Pristina (PS Audio / HDMI Spec) output. 1 = Rockna, 2 = PS Audio (the one we use). @pscar, we're compatible with PS Audio gear.
