Are music servers the future?

I am now listening to a pro-dac that plays JRiver MC 19 on a Mac Mini 2013 in double DSD. It upsamples everything except presently double DSD moving the filters well beyond anything we can hear or sense. Unfortunately, double DSD downloads are not readily available. It is wondrous to be away from PCM.

Does anyone know of outlets for double DSD recordings?

Steve, there are no reviews or pricing info on the Antipodes DX flagship product. Not much more than a cursory announcement on their website

Larrybou...I think you are right on the mark. The fact that they can stream hi-def video means that the technology to stream hi-def music is already here. All we need is a company to implement and sell it.

Mitch4t, are you sure that streaming hi-def video is a difficult as hi-def audio? I certainly have never heard at CES any streaming demonstrations that were close to high definition audio, such as PCM 192/24 or native DSD.

Tbg...no I am not sure which is more difficult. It just seems that since I get a hi-def video image via Netflix streaming, it stands to reason audio should be available too. Maybe I'm over simplifying things here, but aren't hi def streaming video files larger than hi def audio files?.

Mitch4t, I guess it is pixels versus sample rate, which is kind of apple v. oranges. But I don't know either.
