PS Audio "AirLens" streamer coming soon?
I "heard" about this unit from stumbling around and googling "I2S music streamers" and also a little info here...
Seems that venerable US manufacturer PS Audio will soon throw their hat into the dedicated streamer-only market with a unit that, from the outset, looks intriguing:
- approx. $2K price point
- wifi or ethernet connection
- I2S output...!!!...for those with Denafrips, Holo or other DACs!
- "The PS Audio AirLens completely eliminates the problems of noise, jitter, and EMI influences through complete galvanic isolation and perfect reclocking of the digital audio signal." - says the company on their hidden web site for AirLens:
- No U.I. to speak of or AirPlay so not sure how legacy Apple Music libraries are addressed.
Anyone know more or have a view on this unit? It has been delayed but appears set for release this quarter.
