Sadly thing is that nowadays board computers are the main source, that are hardly unreplaceble by a high end car radio.

To compare, for that amount you also have an smsl dac.

It does not have shielding at all.

Bought this lovely cd in Annecy- France. It must be a best seller, because the shop had 4 rows with this album: Zaz - Sains & Saufs

Very sad news. Currently also serious health problems with my father in law, forgets everything fall all the time and needs to have health and personal care all day long Sometimes life sucks and pople have to understand that you cannot be always helpful fof them Take care with your father in...

ones and zero's do reach the dac, with small timing errors called jitter. This is the reason I have an oxco clock in my new switch. For all music directly streamed from the internet I also want the best possible sound.

If Santa Claus exists, and you may buy audio gear with it, what would you choose? Think in my case I would have upgraded my streamer.

Correct me If i am wrong, but I always thought that these linux based streamers are using the same driver: alsa. The difference they make is by cutting down background processes, and there are already alot of others already in the field of audio software. For instance: Volumio already makes...

what you need for a player without compromises good power supply low power consumption good compartments a good oxco clock well shielding software that cuts down back ground programs cooling of the system to.make it this way you cannot build a perfect streamer for a few hundred dollars, sadly...

This is one of the reasons why a switch matters. Somewhere in the setup these timing errors must be fixed by means of a good clock.

On the other hand, those high end streamers cost a serious amount of money. If the input is already cleaned from noise and the ones and zero’s are reclocked then the only source that could mess it up again is the final streamer.. Combine a good switch combination together with a much cheaper...

Yes indeed 2 switches. There are people who say that 2 switches in serie may improve SQ, I used to have 2 Silent Angel Bonns in serie sold one because I did not hear a difference. The main reason is that also a tv and other devices must be on the wired internet. I am afraid that hooking these...
