Now Santa Claus may have some problem in deciding whether to put Node 2i in the case of an Aurender or in the case of some other "respectable " streamer to do his magic, including the magic of returning money back.
Given that Santa Claus may already be in a deep meditation and rest after hard Christmas work, it only remains to trust yourself. This thread, intensively or non-intensively is an implicit advertisement for the label and one particular product which costs a lot of money. If you guys are so willing to spend your money in a magical improvement for a well-advertised product, go ahead. There are thousand people suffering because of the lack of meal, i would rather donate than contribute in making rich individuals richer. Do you really have an idea why N200 or whatever their product costs 6k, couldn't it cost 5,4, or 2k?
Music and audio is as important for me as my work. I am willing to pay for something that can be justified, 6k for a streamer, a simple computer with an incorporated monitor, for me, is just unjustified, it is not a technology that takes that much money to produce it. For me, this is just a dirty business and I would not like to contribute despite that SQ is so important for me. In fact, i sometimes think that i am fine with a little disturbed reproduction during streaming because it somehow makes digital sound more analog.
Can somebody explain clearly what particular advantages in SQ they have upgrading streamers?
