Who's going to the 2026 Florida International Audio Expo (Feb 20-22)? Our local Suncoast Audiophile Society (also the Central Florida club) will again have a "hangout" in the Shelton Room, and also manning a table near the Cypress Room. Looking forward to seeing/hearing the latest gear, and chatting with like minded hobbyists, both young and old.
Bookshelf System: Soundfield Audio MiniMon (bookshelf speakers) – $1,400/pair
2 x Starkrimson 25 Mono Premium – $2,500/pair PecanPi+ Streamer Premium – $1,500
Total System cost w/o cables – $5,400 (this is the most affordable system at the show, and one of the best sounding, we are bringing it back from last year due to all the positive feedback)
I have not heard “Good Class D”, will try to check it out.
Do you have / can make a streamer / ethernet bridge that does NOT include a DAC, can play Spotify Connect (Lossless), able to AirPlay, will output Bit Perfect to an external DAC, does NOT use proprietary software, can UPnP, and does not cost a fortune?
In other words… something at the opposite end of the spectrum from the mega buck magic streamer boxes. Most of these types of magic boxes will do Tidal / Qobuz (if anything). I use Spotify Connect (Lossless) because it’s better at finding MUSIC. And I like music.
If you can do that, I would like to stop by and talk to you about that. I have visited your site today and didn’t see quite what I was looking for. I see PecanPi, but I don’t need it to do analog (unneeded complexity for my need)… and I haven’t gone down the wormhole to figure it out.
I hope everyone involved in this confrontation can come together at the event to talk things out. People behind the keyboard often say whatever to disagree, but when they meet in person, it tends to create a bond.
