Don’t get me wrong, the Audiolab is not a bad streamer, but I know the rest of the gear is capable of better.
Advice regarding streaming please.
Hello, I have an Audiolab 6000n streamer and think it’s now the weakest link, but I am not using the built in DAC as I’m using a Denafrips Pontus DAC , I’m wondering would a different / better streamer be any better at at put all those 1’s & 0’s into my Pontus DAC or at the pre-DAC point is it all the same? I’m an incomplete tetraplegic so any suggestions of CD/SACD or vinyl is not good for me.

Streamers make a difference.

The streamer is rarely the weakest link. If you are comfortable with the user interface I wouldn't bother changing it. If you're simply looking for something new that's a different story. The Kef R3 are good speakers but could use a subwoofer to fill in the low range or new speakers that extend lower, you'd notice more difference looking there. Get a measurement microphone and REW see about optimizing room treatments or using DSP. Any of those will affect your sound exponentially more than changing a streamer. |
+1 @djones51 At a certain point, this hobby stops being orgiastic buying and becomes something like work, but the fun work one puts into a puzzle or project. If one is not prepared to do that work, then an endless cycle of buying, selling, and posting awaits thee. To each his own. |
