I own a Hegel H360- Can anyone help me determine the best way to stream Tidal, Qobuzz, etc through its DAC?
Would this be a good starter system for streaming?
I am new to streaming so looking for valuable input. I am considering purchasing the following:
Music Server - Small Green Computer - Sonictransporter i5 with CD ripper
Music Streamer - Ultrarendu
DAC - RME ADI-2
Was also considering the optical versions. Want to run as a ROON server.
This will be used with KEF 107.2 speakers, Macintosh 34v & 7200 amp.
i have a fairly large CD collection that needs to be ripped
Would something else be better in the $5K range

Paul McGowan from PS audio posted a recommendation (video) which consists of a Mac Mini as a server. I tried it and it sounds better than all the streamers I have used in the past. To save money, I bought a used Mac mini and upgraded the HD. Also, the best DAC for USB input is the Musical Fidelity V90 ($299). The USB input outperformed the other DACs I experimented with. Best of luck.. |
I purchased a Denafrips Pontus DAC this past year and am very pleased. Here’s a brief review that I provided on it... https://www.denafrips.com/single-post/2018/12/10/Pontus-DAC-New-York Good luck and happy listening! Michael |
