How important is an LCD screen on your streamer?


Hi, All,

 

Just curious of the importance to you of having a screen display on your streamer? For me, it's critical. I would not purchase a streamer without one...As much great press as the Innuous and Aurender's get they don't seem to prioritize a display screen?

Wow, unanimous! I do use my IPad but I just love the idea of being able to see it on the screen, I think aesthetically it adds a nice classy touch-even if impractical. Plus a lot of times I’ll have music playing just for background and I like the idea of just looking at the screen rather than scrambling for my iPad if it’s a song I don’t recognize…

Not important at all to me.

I can do everything better on my iPad, so I don't need to squint to read a tiny lcd screen.

I have an Aurender streamer.

Sonics is king with adequate functionality. Only need tolerable appearance 

WAF also important - self preservation 

For me, the screen is completely unnecessary; I have it disconnected. I use an iPad to control my LUMIN, and I even have the Ethernet LEDs turned off, all to avoid any noise, no matter how theoretical. My DAC also works with the screen off.

Love it!  It actually gets people to take notice.  I have one with and one without.  I use displays in Roon though with both.  Full size  tv screens are even better! Roon controller on a tablet displays nicely as well.  So less important with Roon.
