Airlens streamer thoughts
I had a bluesound node 2i with a Pontus dac. A year ago it was suggested here that my streamer was my weak point. I never believed it could make much difference.
I finally ordered the airlens and I was floored. This was way more improvement than I could ever imagine. It’s cleaner and fuller base. Separation and depth is so apparent.
Thank you guys for the suggestions.
@dahodevil I too have had the Airlens on my radar. But, I have yet to pull the trigger because it doesn't support Amazon Music HD :-( I'm waiting on the sidelines for now, but I increasingly understand support for HD may never come and that I'll likely need to pivot to an Eversolo T8 for better or worse. |
@genomeip I doubt they will ever support Amazon because they don’t support much. It is very stripped down. That being said, I just stepped over to roon. I’m really liking roon. The only thing I don’t like about it is I have to physically type the word roon Because dictating it always comes out ruin. |
@dahodevil Thank you for your insights. Since you changed both the streamer as well as the streamer service, it would be interesting to know which one is doing most of the lifting SQ-wise...Roon or the Airlens?
It's good to see the Airlens can serve as the Roon bridge. I was also surprises to seethe monthly cost for Roon is about the same as Amazon HD...hmm...decisions, decisions, decisions... |
if you’re happy with the airlens quality, maybe look at one of their power plants https://share.google/UwGmEhIa6VggKCVSr https://share.google/OjyUniHKlPeSWCuqG Also look at Qobuz for the best sound quality. |
