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.

I have tried several servers, but nothing comes even close to the refined sound and resolution of the Evo master. To be honest, I do not use their highly proclaimed 432 Hz conversion, as I feel that with all possible plugins off it sounds the best.

I agree. I'm using an upgraded Node 2022. I'd like to see a streamer only from Innuos. 

For anyone with experience with the Bricasti stuff.  I've got a local owner who is letting me demo his M3.  When I use the USB input from my Innuous Zennith MkIII, no problem.  When I try to use the ethernet port (which is lit up and connected), Roon doesn't see it and one of the displays says "LAN OFF".  Is there a way to turn it on or am I doing something wrong?

@badgerdms in the Roon “audio” menu under settings you need to find the M3 and enable it.  Once you do that, you need to select the M3 as a zone.  If you have done that already, then I need to dig a little deeper.  

It's not showing up on Roon to enable at all.   If I use the USB input, it's there, not when I switch to the ethernet port.  A little baffling.
