JC5= I am kind of in your same boat. I have a Lumin X-1 which is a DAC / Streamer and I love it. However, I have been debating whether to add a music server to even improve the sonics more. Is that guaranteed???? I don't know. A dealer wants me to buy the Rockna Reference DAC and Server. I was also considering getting an ultra high end DAC like Lampizator Pacific or Aries Cerat Kassandra or Helen. I wonder how much better the sound would be? From a server perspective, I have looked at Innuous, 432 AEON, Taiko, Antipodes etc. I would have to sell my Lumin X-1 before I do anything and I am sitting here now listening to music and saying OMG this sounds so good. But I am intrigues if a server will take my system to another level.
Server/Streamer or Streamer/DAC?
Hi,
does anybody have any insight into which of the above two options is overall better (e.g. more Pros and/or less Cons) than the other one, including bang-for-the-buck considerations, points of evolution, flexibility, total cost of ownership, SQ, and many other criteria, anything that comes to your mind?
