Streamer matching to system

@matt_mccloat 

Lol. I just get lazy about repeating myself over and over about my setup. Here it is simplified, from wifi to Dac :

- TP Link extender

- Bluejeans/ Belden ethernet cable

- Smallgreen optical isolation bundle to cleanup ethernet

- Teddy Pardo linear power supply for Node

- Shunyata venom 14 power cord for Teddy

- Node n130 with usb output

- Curious usb cable (original one)

- Gustard x26 pro Dac.

- Cullen gold 12 gauge PC to power dac

I could go on to the cabling to the preamp, preamp, cabling to amp, amp, etc... but that will have to do for now :)

EVERYTHING MATTERS ALONG THE LINE!

@matt_mccloat I am going to tell you to audition DAC's I have 3 in my home and they range in price from $3000.00 to $12,000.00 now 2 are streaming DACS.

My favorite is simple and well is simple. the LossLess Echo's End DAC with Fire Wire 640X.

No knobs, lights, switches, just gorgeous sound.  I know a dealer that can send you this DAC to audition and his link is below 

LessLoss Echo's End R-2R DAC| Atelier 13 Audio (atelier13-usa.com)

I guess Jerry didn't see the 3k budget.

@matt_mccloat 

Yes I do and I love the sound of it, the app is better than the BlueOS and miles better than the Lumin in every aspect. See my virtual system 

@baylinor No I did not. But he pointed a message at me and that was what I responded to.

Under 3K I would look at Schiit or Audio Mirror (used). 

Or that DAC you endorse Gustard?
