What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.

i doubt the bits changed but the sound sure did. I used to think it was only the bits that mattered but listening changed my mind 

I tried a number of streamers before committing to a Lumin T2. The Bel Estream was a disappointment, as was the a BlueSound. I did keep a Bluesound Powernode to power the inwalls in my dining room and kitchen, but for critical listening it was not great. Auralic was detailed but dry, the Linn the same. I did not try Aurender as it failed to support Roon. Used a Lumin D2 for a year and it was decent but the T2 was stellar.

Do you what good sound or organized music listen to the Aurender

I’m a Innuos Zenith MK3 4TB with Phoenix USB Reclocker (8-10k). I really do like it, but I way over bought considering the rest of my system.

If you’re a vinyl guy you can get buy and enjoy yourself with a lot less.

But price is always a big part of the equation.

I’d recommend the Zen MK3 with a SoTM Tx-usbultra special edition.

New its 4k, but can easily find good pricing and get it for under 3k for both I’m sure.

Basically 90% the the quality and 25% the price.

I tried the SoTM and liked it, but Innuos Phoenix did pull slightly ahead and just wanted all Innuos stuff.

Read over your Integrated and looks good excellent! Very nice set-up.

My new Bel Canto E.One Stream came in while I was traveling this week will set it up tomorrow and see how it works with all my other BC gear.

Wondering how things are going with your new Streamer? Also what digital cable you are using to the DAC (Signal Cable? Coax of AES?)

Hope you are enjoying it!
