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 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...

Use a good quality power cord on the streamer.

Toss in a fancy outlet as well. 

if you’re happy with the airlens quality, maybe look at one of their power plants

Also look at Qobuz for the best sound quality. 

I’ve had my airlens since they 1st came out. I2s is a must!

qobuz connect sounds better than upsampled Roon. But also using the better ps audio dacs, I upsampled everything to dsd256 and it sounds great.
