An "oldie" Buckingham Nicks

Like the Iphone 17 pro 😂 To be honest, I love that color on that phone, but an orange device between silver and black audio gear is a mismatch

It was before my time buying high end audio. What happened in 1998/1999?

The high end market is difficult. Far too many brands for a niche market. Hardly nobody wants to spend over then 5k for a streamer and they acquire a Wiim instead.

Because there are amazing non oversampling dacs on the market oversampling is not needed. That means, no extra server, just one streamer that has an easy task to do, bring the ones and zero’s to the dac where it is converted to an analogue signal. Why an extra machine and processor power, while...

nowadays not every tv has an audio output. This is a point to check before buying.

For 2 years I have finished buying new gear. Am happy with the sound quality and now music is the only thing that counts.
