Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited?

@mahler123 Does it have any features such as Chromecast, AirPlay, or Bluetooth? How does it handle Internet Radio and Podcasts? And what App is controlling it?

Def worth sending a note to their marketing dept there to learn more. Some folks claim they cannot hear differences with the different software platforms and protocols.

Sat at my buddies house and home comparing many hours with Roon, Airplay II, DTS PlayFi, MusicLife, others, no bluetooth - and comparing to native file connections playing the exact same track, song, version. Each platform adds or removes its own magic software dust layers for better or worse. We most certainly heard differences.

Reply back here if you ask what they are going to do and offer w/the streamer. Thx. 

@hilde45

don’t know if you know about the genesis digital lens unit from the 90’s 00’s - that word ’lens’ has been part of paul’s lexicon for digital since his arnie nudell/genesis days

thusly i wouldn’t connect his use of the word is any particular suggestion about what is in this new streamer

The Air Lens has no software included at all.  Easier to think of it as a Rendu with an I2s output and SPDIF output. Same collection of aftermarket software choices as work with the two iFi devices.

AirLens word is referring to something PS Audio already used on their SACD transport, lots about this you can find on PS Audio forum along with dedicated thread about the upcoming unit.

@pmotz according to the video, masking is still required to visit. That put me off. I was already wavering when I saw the fr 30 and that was the last straw
