Dedicated Music Server/Player


Has anyone with a  digital front end ever dropped 6k to 10k on a dedicated streamer (without DAC) and if so were they blown away from an improvement in sound

Take a look at Wolf Audio as well.  Many people are happy with their Innuos Zenith Mk3 streamers/servers although some issues with their latest software upgrade.  Best of luck. 

Me too Aurender N10 and when I upgrade my dac to Aesthetix Pandora it will probably surpass my analog

Has any one have Emma labs/ meitner? Streamer/Dac

Or the Aqua streamer/dac combo?

I had the Emm Lab before the Lumin X-1.  For me, there was no comparison.  The Lumin was better for me.  BTW, please keep us informed of your decision.

Those Viking Acoustic speakers are something else. I have never listened to horn speakers but they look outstanding. I also ordered hand made speakets from Salk Sound his model SSM6 they took 7 months to arrive but we'll worth the wait.

For me personally purchasing sight unheard is a bit of a leap of faith thank fully I have not been burned yet.

On a side note with digital front ends such as a few here in the replies did any of you also invest in audiophile network switch and upgraded ethernet cabling and if so what are your results

Thanks
