Streamer Alert!

Trash website. Links to ASR and Archimego and Reddit instead of coming up with original thoughts, stolen pic off Reddit, terrible AI style formatting and tone. The icing on the cake is that terrible youtube thumbnail style reaction picture. Just awful.

Not trash, an honest assessment of some manufacturer's products.  I use a Raspberry Pi 5 running Volumio into a LAIV uDAC.  I'll put that against any multi-kilobuck streamer.

I really do wonder if headphonesty is the dystopian future of audio-related content. Nearly every article is written by AI or heavily assisted by AI, which ironically, is easily able to be detected by AI. 

For the curious: web traffic for headishonesty.com is 1.2 million visits per month, which dwarfs Audiogon’s 560,00 per month.

trash website aside. yes our streamers aren't that esoteric as some of their prices suggest. What irks me even isn't the parts; it is the fucking software being terrible for many of these products. 

So yeah truth to what may be discussed in the article but I am not giving it a click just because it is a headphonesty article 

On that website they make some interesting and unintentionally funny statements. Below is a quote and a similar comparison I provided to them.

"In many systems, a Raspberry Pi–based streamer is functionally equivalent to far more expensive options."

On many roads a Toyota Yaris is functionally equivalent to a Rolls Royce
