Audiotroy does not hide the fact that they are a dealer. Dealers can offer insight, have experience with different products and are exposed to things we are not. I want to hear from people/dealers with that experience. Dealers that put themselves out there are at great risk on these forums because they know that if someone buys something from them because of a recommendation they made and it does not perform or if they give bad service, they will be destroyed on the same forum with negative comments. In my mind, I would feel more comfortable with a dealer like that because they know all eyes will be on them.
Combination streamer and music server…without DAC
Re. Combination streamer and music server without DAC: There don’t seem to be too many of these out there and when I do see them, they tend to be quite pricey (Aurender N20). I would like to use the DAC on my CD player. I’m looking for something used, between $3K and $4K. I suppose Lumin is an option by purchasing an L1 storage unit but I’m trying to avoid having another box. I have about 300 to 400 cd’s. Any suggestions? Thanks.
