Is the streamer the issue or the DAC inside? I use a Node 3 with an external DAC feeding ML Monolith electrostatics and have no issue with the sound. I just store my digital files on my PC and let the Node access them via ethernet (best for reliability) or wifi. I find the BluOS app very easy to use.
Streamer matching to system
I am looking to upgrade from my blusound node. I am running a McIntosh MA5300 integrated amp with Revel f208’s and a velodyne DD10 sub with iPad as control interface. I am looking for recommendations for a hifi streamer & digital transport that can store digitally purchased hi res music files. The innuous models come to mind but wondering if there are other products / solutions that I should demo? Some other considerations: very open to used gear, no limitations on space to house the solution, MQA is not required as I prefer Qobuz, trying to stick close to $3k budget. Cheers!

@matt_mccloat if you’re using McIntosh built in DAC, my recommendation would be to add a good external DAC and worry about the streamer at a later point. |
