Thanks Lanx, I have seen those two, I may go with the Pulse Mini and get the external linear PSU too which supposedly elevates it to a different level.
EverSolo Streamer
I am enjoying the newly released EverSolo Streamer, which I received at the front door a few hours ago.
First, may I recommend Amir at SummitHiFi out of Toronto Canada. Exceptional service experience. I called Amir a few hours ago to check on status. He told me to check at the door and there it was! His site is SummitHifi-USA.com.
Setup was easy. Just follow the prompts on the touchscreen then scan the code and download the app. No remote is included, as one’s phone / iPad becomes the remote.
Connected to DAC via CParry’s SPDIF Coax BlackCat SilverStar 75.
The app is simplicity itself to navigate. Qobuz accomodated beautifully.
First recording selected; Charles Mingus; Changes: The Complete1970s Atlantic Studios Recordings;Hi-Res 24/96 I believe.
I am not really a Charles Mingus superfan, but I found myself enjoying several tracks.
The thought that comes to mind is, why did I wait so long to get a streamer? No more laptop connected via USB..Yippee! As William Mel Gibson Wallace blurted out as his entrails were torn out on a public torture rack by the wretched Norman English warlords (kidding); Freedom!!
The unit I ordered is the limited Master Edition. Adorned with gold accents, the Chinese marketing announces with great fanfare, ‘Highlight The Dignity!’ Well as I advance in years I felt I could use a way to highlight my dignity : ) The price for this model is $1,299 (if memory serves). I certainly would not pay an extra $450 for some gold accents, but for that modest increase one gets two Femto clocks (regular not Femto), as well as upgraded audio opamps. The sound is stellar. A very marked improvement over my laptop connected via USB.
I plan to wile away this Friday evening enjoying this small yet lovely streamer.
