I made a typo in the following:
9. Tidal Master => PS Audio DSD DAC (via bridge)
9. Tidal Master => PS Audio DSD DAC (via bridge)
Point of higher priced streamer?
Hello,
Assuming I have separate DAC, and I just want to play songs from iPad by Airplay feature.
In this case, I need a streamer to receive music from my iPad -> DAC.
What’s the point of high price streamer? I’m bit surprised that some streamers are very high priced.
From my understanding, there should be no sound quality difference.
(Streaming reliability and build quality, I can see it but I do not see advantages in terms of sound quality.)
Am I missing something? If so, please share some wisdom.

lemonhaze94 posts12-27-2020 9:40am@ironlung, you are fighting an uphill battle trying to reason with audio2design and his ilk, but full marks for effort. You mean knowledgeable and not susceptible to flowery but technically in context meaningless words. |
Audio2Design John Darko wise? ..... Okay. Embarrassing? Yes. Technically illiterate? Yes. Prone to delusion? Probably. Makes things up? Definitely._——— ———- Wow. Ego-boner meter is off charts. Please point me to your own site, or blog. I will be glad to visit. Although I am pretty sure it does not exist, other than from the bots at the Troll Factory in St.Petersburg |
I’ve been reading this post with great interest since I’m in the market for a streamer/dac combination. One issue that was not mentioned at all in this discussion was room correction. I’ve read and have verified in my own system that room correction can play a major role in enhancing the overall quality of the sound produced by the system. I have only found a handful of streamer/dac systems that can perform room correction on their own. One example is the minidsp shd. Wouldn’t room correction play perhaps a more important role than increasing a few dbs in SINAD beyond a certain level? |
