Need recommendations for a streamer

You already have Terminator 2 as a DAC. If you have node as well, buy Denafrips Gaia. Digital to Digital converter which will improve all the problems of Node before sending signal to Terminator 2, you get significant improvement without extra 5K. Gaia  is $1800. If source is not gonna be combined DAC, don’t waste your money with more expensive servers, at the end all sends 0 and 1s to DAC.

Haha! I was waiting for the '0s and 1s' argument to show up. Applying the same logic, why invest in a nice DAC or DDCs. It's all 0s and 1s after all, right?

Why do you never read about Streamer A vs Streamer B ? Cause noboby

can hear a difference. It is all in the DAC. Uptone Audio Etherregen-$650 buy one.

I use an Innuos Zen 3 also. Does more than you want but is DAC less.

this is overly simplistic, and incorrect

different streamers sound different because they manage noise, clocking, power supply, and physical isolation differently - the sonic difference can be quite noticeable to quite subtle to insignificant... depending on the network, cabling, and of course the quality of system downstream to resolve those differences

I know the Vault is not an option but just in case I wanted to share that I have two Vaults over 5 years and both failed, the first was replaced the second not. It failed during an upgrade, but since out of warranty all they offered was a reconditioned older unit at half the retail.

I wonder how I can still have hifi equipment from the 1980s that works fine and a reputable manufacturer such as Bluesound seems to be OK with some of their equipment failing within 3 years.
