Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra plus custom LPS+ linear power supply.

Hey Fuzztone, The Teddy Pardo looks like a nice piece of kit. 👍 It’s amazing to me how much of an improvement the right power supply delivers.

No Screen = no go, don’t care how good it might be. It is absolutely ridiculous that there is no screen included in some of these current streaming devices. The screen and interface is half the fun. Some don’t even come with a remote....equally dumb. For $179, my Grace digital link comes with both a screen and a remote, and it also sounds great and never disconnects from wifi....

I don’t miss having a device screen, and don’t want one on my streaming device, as I, without one,avoid any unnecessary internal circuits or power supply lines. A streamer screen on this device is completely unnecessary as well. I use the Volumio/Pro-Ject app to control and choose music from my 11 inch iPad, or iPhone Pro Max. Now THOSE are useful screens that add zero to diminish the audible quality of my setup, and which I can see clearly from any listening position, because they are in my hands. . 

+1 to a screen being superfluous. The best screen to control a streamer is an iPad sitting next to you, not an LCD screen on a streamer sitting 8 feet away.

I compared the top Sonore LPS, Teddy pardo, a Farad 3,newer S booster which btw came in last , and a Paul Hines which recently went out of business ,all new within 18 months old 

with a Sonore ultra Rendu ,

the Linear Tube Audio , is the. Best- most musically natural  under $1k LPS I have ever heard ,one thing to mention having been into modding for years the LTA using the Worlds best Belleson regulators which says a lot they are 2-3 x the monies others use and can be made to your specs I was told . I just ordered one myself  use with my Sonore optical deluxe .
