streamer

About 2 years ago, i invested several thousand dollars into a Mark Levinson 5101 CD player. It was part of their latest line of components. After approx. 2 years of constant calls to their tech support, along with new firmware updates, this product still remains a POS. The streamer along with...

What's a good device, potentially used, to add to my system to get streaming at good to great quality? I have an Apple TV and a Sonos port currently that are ok, but I'm curious if there's something of higher quality. I want it to work with Apple Music, if it can work with other music streaming...

Is there a streamer that doesn't require a smart phone? I know I am living in the dark ages and woefully ignorant about digital products. Help?:bye:

We already mentioned here some Arylic streamers in different threads but I think that Arylic deserves special thread about their streamers. I will describe my experience with S10 and Up2Stream and maybe with some other models , hopefully Up2Stream HD DAC. As a prologue I must explain that...

We are at the threshold of a new era in music playback my friends, mark the date… Ultra HD is coming to the masses. With hardware like the WIIM streamers coming online for less than $90 bucks, and HD (ultra HD?) subscriptions for 7.99 a month/individual or 14.99 for a family of 6, are we there...

Hi y'all, Firstly, sorry to bring out this old question again, but recently I just received this inquiry from my friend who is also on his way to digital streaming though, as we were discuss whether a network switch would help or not like everyone else, he sorta struck me with this, " Based on...

Hi y'all, So me and my pal came up with an idea about testing our own " streaming system " and see which is better, but yeah ofc, there can only be one variable, otherwise the test wouldn't be fair, no? we decided to only change the streamer/player in each test, well luckily, my friend who...

Hi guys, When it comes to sound quality, I've realized there're freaking many factors could affect it, some say the DAC is the paramount thing to be taken care of; some say the speakers are the real crucial part, given that you hear all the sounds from them, there's no certain right or wrong...

Hi guys, It's just sorta a general wondering, so recently I've been thinking about purchasing a NAS for audio storage and stuff, I used to just simply store music with USB, but I read some articles about NAS, it seems to me that most audiophiles possess one to cooperate with their Hi-Fi gear at...

Hello there, I am a vintage audio fan, recently started to consider streaming. I have the hi res Tidal plan but somehow I still can’t enjoy it. I bought a Chinese BT receiver and hooked it to my Mcintosh C29 preamp -> Mcintosh MC2105 -> JBL L50 (all restored by me). I use an iPad to connect...

Hey all, so I’m fairly new to all this and am slowly building my first Hi-Fi setup. Does it make any sense to spend money on a nice streamer like the bluesound node 2I just to send it through a 70’s pioneer sx-880. Is sending Hi res audio from a nice modern streamer wasted when it’s going...

I don't have a router or access to ethernet in my apartment.I pay a fee to Xfinity every month, to have access to a wi fi hot spot that is somewhere close by.My imac and phone recognize it easily, and all I have to do is choose it once, and enter my password, and then both devices connect...

Happy Holidays, everyone! I have been diving into AK for a while now, and finally decided to sign up. Life is flux and sometimes you just have to make changes in order to keep it fresh and interesting. I’ve been collecting records since I was six years old and my dad would bring home 45s...

Hi, I'd thought lets share my setup with you guys since it's finally "complete" (as in no upgrades planned). I don't have a proper speaker system right now and I've been focussing on getting a low-endish streaming setup for my 20 years old Sennheiser HD600 headphones. Most components are...

i have an ACS10 coming in the next few days. I will use it as storage, a streamer, and will also use it to keep my libraries in sync on my other Aurender Players. Anybody else looking at the ACS10 or own one?

I'm in the process of re-imagining and re-configuring my music system. I'm looking at selling my current amp (a PS Audio GSS 500) and replacing it with a Peachtree Nova 300 or 150 because those amps give me so many more options and capabilities. The Nova amps have a ESS Reference 9018K2M Sabre...
