A $500 streamer connected to a $2500 DAC will always sound better than a $500 DAC connected to a $2500 streamer. At least that's my experience and it's not even close.
Does the 'Buck' Start with the DAC?
Some members have expressed that the server / streaming front end is less important than the DAC.
I subscribe to the position that "Everything Matters"
As I consider front end choices, I'm trying to gauge if I should be leaning more heavily on a DAC versus a SOURCE (server / streamer).
Feedback and perspective from both camps, or any others, will be helpful. Thank you.
Please Note: I'm not looking for validation of the position that "only the bits" matter... I accept that some believe this wholeheartedly... and that's okay by me.
