Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?

Hey Folks,

I did some searches and did not see anyone claiming to have the DAC+.  Saw one positive review from a site of which I am unfamiliar.  I prefer reviews where there is listening and testing so perhaps we will have to hope for Stereophile or HiFi News to get one but that will probably take some time.

I have a DAC+ on backorder with MusicDirect so hopefully any bugs will be exterminated before I get mine.  I am also hoping for more details on the circuit changes.

Hope you folks are well and good,
Robert

The Brooklyn DAC+ is on my very short list of streaming DACs. I've been reading the owner's manual online (https://mytekdigital.com/download_library/manuals/Brooklyn_DAC+_Manual.pdf) and although my router is located in the same room as my audio system, the Brooklyn doesn't have the capability to connect to the router wirelessly. 

After reading page 8 of their manual, I'm still not sure I understand how I would be able to connect this DAC to the internet.

Forgive me for being digitally challenged.

@djohnson54 , Thank you!

It's gonna take me some time to get up to speed with digital. I guess what I should be looking for is something called a streamer or a streaming DAC if I don't want to be using my laptop to stream music through my integrated amp.

I was so much easier with analog. :-D

@djohnson54 Thanks again. Another streamer I'm looking at is the is the Auralic Altair. It seems to be what I'm looking for but I'm not going to rush into anything until I understand the digital process a little better. I'll get there...eventually.
