@sns - I was now considering purchasing a ALLO DigiOne Signature music player. What would be the best way to optically isolate this unit? Would an optical Rendu work in this case? Thanks!
Optical Isolation
I have read many a discussion here on AG regarding digital but, I still need some further clarification on the best way to go.
Looking at the Sonore Optical Rendu, which only seems to be sold through Small Green Computer. It's advertised as a "network player and network streamer" which makes it sound like I do not need something like a BlueSound Node, an ifi Stream, an Innuos Zen or the equivalent, or do I?
At present, I have a DAC and only want to stream music. I've had a Roon Nucleus in the past and enjoyed it, but only wish to use Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify or Amazon Music at the point in time.
It sounds like optical isolation is the way to go. I just want a simple, clean & quiet set-up, so any advice on this would greatly be appreciated, thanks!

@navyachts The Allo would take the place of OpticalRendu, performs same function. Allo uses coax out to dac, OR goes with usb to dac. Optical isolation may or may not be best solution for every situation so don't assume you need OR for quality streaming. OpticalRendu optimal use is as dedicated streamer attached to a music server. Read up on one computer vs two computer streaming setups in order to better understand what OR or any dedicated streamer function is. |

@erik_squires - ah Eric, always the voice of wisdom, couldn't agree more. People go on & on about all this stuff in many threads about streaming. But they all know what they're talking about, buy the majority of us don't. It's all just Greek to me!
