Stepping into streaming, finally
As the title states finally I have gotten into streaming realm. Wanted ethernet streamer connectivity and started with Wiim feeding Denafrips Venus II 12th then into Pathos Inpol Remix and finally to Sonus Faber Venere. Well, I was not thrilled with the sound quality not to mention lack of cooperation from Wiim with pure ethernet path. Tried Bluesound Node, small steps. No dice with Node either. Came across EarMen Stacatto with exclusive ethernet connectivity and no DAC built in, exactly what I needed, very few reviews but took a chance. Well, all the boxes of my needs checked, with sound quality matching CDs, transported by Jay's Audio CDT2 MK3. I think that says a lot. Very satisfied, expectations exceeded.

@knock1 I had modded my streamer with an LPS. Should have mentioned that. Once that was done, I have not heard much difference. People spend thousands on their streamers, even with external DACs. I am putting those $$s into places in the system where I can hear a greater difference. To each his/her own. |
@audphile1 Yes, that's the one. @hilde45 So, what are you trying to say? |
@knock1 I'm not trying to say anything. I've said it. Relayed my experience. Over and out. |
