Though I do agree that a tube buffered DAC has inherent colorations. Where I disagree is the degree of those colorations over another DAC.
What Is Better In General, Sonos Or Say A Network Streamer By Cambridge Audio?
Hi all, I'm going to add a streamer to one of my systems so I can listen to some internet stations for variety. This will only constitute about 15% of my total listening time. In other words vinyl and cd will continue to be my go to listening time. Whichever streamer will be mated with a Yamaha CR 420 vintage receiver and Boston Acoustics HD 5 bookshelf speakers. I can get a used Cambridge player, around $1200 new, for just a bit more than a new Sonos Connect, or a used Sonos for around $250.00. Thanks for any and all opinions.

@zar - Are talking about listening to internet radio stations? Like Radio Paradise or iHeart Radio, etc.? Do you currently have a mobile device, computer/laptop that you are going to use for a source? If so, you may not really need a streamer per se. I use either my mobile phone, iPod or laptop to stream wirelessly via bluetooth to a Auris BluMe Bluetooth Audio Receiver and it works like a champ. They are on sale right now, direct from Auris, for $109 and free shipping. Check it out at theauris.com . |
