For those that have separate Streamers & DACS

What are some of your favorite streamers/servers strictly from a sound quality perspective?  Please assume a stand-alone DAC.  I've read such a variety of opinions on streamers and was interested in opinions from those that have tried different streamers on with their DACs.

Bluesound NODE $600.  Lumin T2 $4500.

I have a NODE and it is working well for me.  I don’t know how much better an upgrade would sound, because I’ve never hear anything else.

@tcotruvo I have a Node and upgraded the power supply by swapping in this board. Found the power supply for a fraction of MSRP on ebay. Sounds wonderful.

@phastm3 "that sounds a lot like Dr.Vinyl’s old system…he had that same setup last year"

 

He still sells the Backert Labs and McGary, and yes most of it came from him.

is your modded node a 2i or a ’3/n130’? do they have that polish ps mod card for the new one now?  also, pls check your links... are they correct?

also are you using the analog outs or digital output?

hope you have been well dave
