I was using my IPhone 15 Pro then changed to Eversolo A6 ME into my DDC - DAC. It is very clear diff. It wld take an entire para to list. Very happy with the purchase.

Child of 70s, hifi buff of90s (vinyl/cds) and dinosaur of the streaming age. I've been struggling to catch up with what I need to convert my huge physical music collection into digital. Was blind but now I see. Amazing! Thanks!

Very well presented. The tech nerd in me wants to embrace dedicated streamers but the practical side feels my ears wouldn't really care enough to justify the cost.

Thank you! This cleared up sooo many questions. Awesome!

Just the video I needed. Thanks very much! I have several systems coming from my PC- all linked via RCA to Cat6 back to RCA at the amps. As I was seeking to find a way to get all this music "piped" upstairs, someone suggested a streamer. This video has been a comprehensive instruction manual for an old-school, childhood audio-buff like me...

Very clear and welcome.

I bought a wiim pro just to use it in a party to use its streaming services was easier to play music but in the end i was using it in my system with my dac since it improved a lot the sound quality and now i'm thinking about buying eversolo dmp a6 or teac nt505x

I purchased a Bluesound Node, hoping for this discussed improvment in sound quaility over my 2021 Macbook Pro, feeding digitally into my Chord Hugo TT2 DAC, sadly there was a noticable reduction in sound quaility moving to the Node, from the MacBook pro, the Node seemed to have a more closed and less dynamic sound, with a noticable reduction in Clarity. It has been recommended that I consider a NAD streamer, so I will be auditioning soon, lets see what happens. For Reference my system is Chord Hugo TT2 DAC, Music Fedelity M8xi Amp and Bowers and Wilkins 804 D4 speakers, Mogami RCA 2964 interconect cables and QED XT40i speaker cables.

Great review!

This is a great video. Thanks.

Thanks for this very clear, balanced and informative video. It encapsulates most of the knowledge I've picked up thus far. However, IV still not convinced that I need a streamer. I tend to use Spotify as a search engine to narrow down my choices - then, once I've decided, I'll buy the cd. New or pre-owned, I don't mind. The cd is the basic unit for me, not the file or the streaming service. I can't be the only one who works this way!

This was very helpful, I've been thinking a lot acquiring a streamer

Hi what is the main difference between aurender n150 vs n10????

Very nice presentation, congratulations!!✅

Tyvm for the vid. Since Windows 11 now supports android apps; I wonder if it would be possible to control the android streamer software playback. If this would work this would give users the option to control their media via windows but not actually go thru windows but instead use the streamer. I'm def going to look into this.

What is the proposed mechanism for a streamer to affect the sound quality if you are using a separate DAC? Everything in the digital domain prior to the DAC should be presented to the DAC bit perfect. The DAC itself can affect sound quality, but the streamer should not have any impact on sound quality in a properly functioning system.

Do any of these streaming devices work with Apple Music?

Hiby R5 (which I already own) connected to my dac via Moon Audio coax was the answer for me. Roon is too expensive and so are the streamers.

So speaking about pure sound quality. PC to DC to preamp to amp is worse quality than streamer to dac to preamp to amp?
