Innuos Zenith MkIII
probably a good choice if you need music storage. But Tidal has 60 million tracks that they store for me, so why do I need a storage device? If I added Lumin L1 to the Lumin U1 mini I would have a storage device and still save $1000 off the
Innuos Zenith MkIII. The kicker though is SQ. I have no idea which would sound better. If anyone has heard both, please chime in.
What's the best non-DAC streamer?
I've already got a great DAC (an Yggy) but have never auditioned any streamers. The rest of my system is all Schiit Audio with the 400W monoblocks and Tekton speakers. Have just been using an iPad as a streaming source for Tidal and Spotify.
What streamer under $3k would give me the most bang for the buck?

If cost is no object for anyone reading (sorry, I know the op asked for sub $3k), the taiko sgm extreme is supposed to be one of the best... https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/taiko/ @mikelavigne has one in his absolutely beautiful system: https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/615 |
I should say that like an earlier poster, I do have a magna mano ultra streamer. It’s raspberry pi based with a really nice linear power supply and high precision fento clocks. It sounds great, but unfortunately I haven’t had the opportunity to try other streamers. It feeds an audio mirror tubadour iii-se, Don Sachs 6sn7 pre, first watt f4 mono blocks, Coincident PRE chain. |
