OK, which one?

@thecarpathian you plan on using usb ot optical from streamer to dac?

Talking about the earlier streams of discontent with AI

@lanx0003 “Be careful with AI information” just about sums it up.
Read some the AI generated descriptions on eBay, opted into by lazy sellers and have a good laugh. Some simply rely on it to sell really expensive gear too.  The mind boggles.

Has AI ever reviewed itself?

l wonder what it would make up?

Is AI 100% accurate? No. I personally believe in the 30% rule.

@audphile1 ,

I think USB for best sound.

Breakfast, time for waffles!

I swear I waffle more than Eggo. Wanted to narrow it down to these two for my first foray into streaming (besides Pandora and iTunes) out of the zillion choices simply because you eventually have to pick a lane. This morning I was wondering why am I not looking at pure transports since I’m not going to use the internal dac. 

Any opinions on the ifi Zen Stream, or similar? Not counting out my original choices, just expanding and wondering what you guys think.

At this level these units will sound slightly different and it will come down to preference and features you need. There’s not going to be a holy $hit moment when you go from one to another. I’d go for the bluesound because of its reputation for sound quality for both dac and streamer sections
