Whats on your turntable tonight?

Welcome to the digital world Brian! What streamer did you get?

I’ve had an inexpensive Dayton Audio streamer, which was just OK. After many positive reviews of the iFi Zen Stream unit, I found one available and got it. Funky looking, but added a lot of SQ. Only a streamer hooked to my Denafrips DAC via a XLO USB. And also have my music external hard drive hooked to it (with all my ripped CD files), which is nice instead of using DLNA. I have Tidal, and the nice thing is the iFi Stream has ‘Tidal Connect’ included, so can bypass iOS and Airplay, which I could not before. I think that made a huge difference. Now my iPad/iPhone is simply a remote.

Pretty nice unit. Never though just a streamer could make that much a difference.

Hey Chris. Just got "Fight Songs" in. After about 8 months on pre-order. Worth the wait!

I've only experimented with different DACs and combined streamer/DACs, but it seems logical that like all our gear, everything matters.
