Whats on your turntable tonight?

Welch/Rawlings "All The Good Times....."

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

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

Yep. First in depth review I saw compared it to the Bluesound (which I was considering) combo streamer/DAC. The iFi was said to be substantially better than the Blusesound in sound quality, soundstage, imaging, depth, etc. Even when the Bluesound was hooked up to the same DAC for comparison.


Kinda sealed the deal for me.

Given that I spin vinyl 90%+ of the time, works for me.

@bkeske, 

Hey Brian, I'm soaking it all in for my possible foray into streaming. My music friend has a little Shiit tube DAC and really great sounding Audio Engine speakers at his computer desk.
