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?

Same opinion here.  I use a Lumin U2 Mini.  It has a pretty basic OLED display, no album art or anything.  Most of the time I turn it off because my aging eyes can't read it from across the room anyway.  I use Roon, so there's really no need to display anything on the streamer.  Anything I want to delve into is right there on my iPhone, iPad, etc.

Not important, but a cool feature to have. I like displaying the album cover. 

Not important unless I'm checking to see that the bit rate from Roon is actually going to the streamer.

Not important to me. I own a Cambridge Audio CXN and a Lyngdorf TDAI - while the art work is a somewhat cool feature to impress visitors, it’s not really useful: from my sofa I can hardly read the details on the screen. I actually prefer the approach of the Lyngdorf where just icons are shown when selecting something - otherwise the display turns dark (at least in my setting).
