Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using?
This question is primarily targeted at other Black Ice users but I would appreciate comments from other tube DAC users as well.
I have a newly acquired Black Ice DAC fed by a BS Node N130 w/LHY power supply upgrade.
Digital is not my primary source but since my upgrades from a stock Node, I'm listening to digital more frequently.
I know the Node is entry level (and a great place to start IMO), but I'm guessing the Node is now the weak link.
So what dedicated streamers are you using with your Tube DAC?

@wlutke I've looked at your DAC before - looks really interesting. I thought the same about the stock Russian tubes but I ordered some NOS Mullards at the same time as the DAC so they weren't in long. Massive improvement and IMO the point of owning tube gear to a certain extent. My takeaway is the Lumin was a significant SQ upgrade to the Node but the app took some getting used to, correct? |
Exactly. The app is frustrating at first in that the manual is poorly written and there are no prompts from the software itself. It’s very different than Bluos. Once figured out it’s decent. I found the Tidal play list not automatically on deck especially confounding. I attempted to clarify, hope I was successful. It’s so convenient having all play lists from multiple sources right there under one icon. Lumin playlists can be edited too. Update, add songs or remove duplicates. |
@wlutke thank you |
