Nagra streamer in Munich 2024

I sold my Stream-IF today for a lot less than the cost of the Nagra. It looks identical to the Nagra EXCEPT the Nagra has 3 outputs, Plink, SPDIF, and USB.

The latest PDB streamer that costs $3k has Plink and USB.

The prior version that I sold, PDB Stream-IF, has Plink and SPDIF.

Nagra just put USB and SPDIF together and charged more.

Hi yyzsantabarbara

is the USB port for output port? for use with other DACs.

Thanks,

If you are asking about the $5K Nagra streamer then I think the USB is for both Nagra and USB compatible DACs. Of course, the PLINK (or whatever NAGRA calls it) would be better for Nagra and PBD DACs.

I sold my PBD Stream-IF to some smart guy who realized buying my Stream-IF was a lot cheaper for likely identical results. I am referring to the $11k PBD streamer and this $5k Nagra streamer.

If I were to buy another streamer for USB, I would look at the brand new $1999 Aurelic S1 streamer. That looks perfect for someone with a good USB compatible DAC. Only missing piece is support for fibre optic input (it has Ethernet). Actually, I think I am going to get this streamer later in the year.

Hi yyzsantabarbara,

I checked with my dealer and he confirmed the USB port is not an output port to other DACs.
