HRT Streamer+


I recently read the glowing review about the High Resolution Technologies Streamer+ done by 6moons in Sept 2009. I can't help but question how a $299 dac can keep pace with, and in some cases outperform, highly respected units costing quite a bit more (Peachtree Audio Nova, Stello DA100 Signature, Aura Note Premier, April Music Ai500 ).

If I had a USB source, I'd get one, but I'd have to put a lot of effort into rearranging my system to do that.

Can anyone offer first-hand comments or opinions on this unit?

Many thanks!

I own the cheaper HRT Music Streamer. I coupled it with a 40.00 Kimber usb cable and a 50.00 MIT AVT interconnect. For 190.00 total cost, the sound is amazing. Granted, it isn't as good as my 2600.00 cd player, but using iTunes and files ripped in the Apple lossless format, the sound is surprisingly close (pace, rythem and timing) and I can access over 2000 songs from my HP Laptop in a matter of seconds.

When I just want to read and have some background music, this is my choice. Every time I hear it, I am blown away with the quality of sound for so little money.
