Point of higher priced streamer?
Oh by the way, that Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC you mentioned, has a streamer built in. A network bridge. Hook up Ethernet to it, and you are set! No need for “high priced streamer”. And when you say “the US distributor “ of Mola Mola, you are talking about Bill Parrish? I know the guy. What exactly were you talking about “using your selection of cheaper stuff in audio shows”? I have been in at least two of his Demos, and I know what he is using |
For $100? total you could buy an OTG USB cable, a Nobsound USB to SPDIF/Optical converter and with a 75 Ohm digital or toslink optical cable, plug that into your DAC. https://www.amazon.com/Douk-Audio-Converter-Interface-PCM192Khz/dp/B085XPRSGM/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&am... That's what I am doing with my Android and Tidal. But I needed to buy UAPP and their Bit Perfect add on app to get TIDAL MQA first unfold. Does the music sound as good as a Node 2i? Maybe. I don't know about higher priced units like a Cambridge etc. I've been told that streamers are merely computers. Nothing more. |
Sangbro: wonder about your long business trips around Asia (it must be tough having to do a 2-week confinement in a hotel room every time you change country) coupled with a couple of concerts a year in Vienna (how romantic)). You shops for ‘mid-range’ streamers between 8-30K (what is top of the range then?) using Mola Mola Tambaqui dac whilst not knowing that the Tambaqui has a built in streamer... and ask the classic ‘a bit is a bit, why should I spend more’ questions to get folks excited on audiogon. The whole story seems built on shaky grounds, probably to amuse you whilst listening to music on a basic mp3 setup. |
