There is an argument for both combined and separates. At home, I am wanting the best and my MM Tambaqui definitely benefits from a stand alone streamer. I have upgraded (changed?) the streamer several times and they all sound different. But at my vacation home, I run a much more modest system with an Auralic Altair Streaming DAC. It sounds quite nice, is simple and rock solid on the network, and appropriate for where it is.
Dac with build-up streamer
That should say built-in streamer ……I have been playing around with streamers lately, reading and experimentation lol…doesn’t the streamer get reclocked by the Dac?..so what’s the point, is it better to have the streamer built into the Dac?…less cables …anyone have recommendations for a dac with a built in streamer?…5k or less…

Bluetooth and a smartphone as a streamer??? No…just, no. Bluetooth has limited bandwidth and smartphones absolutely suck as streaming sources. |
