@mclinnguy Excellent question and I had not really thought about it. But yes, why not right? And yes after some burn in time.

Seeking Recommendations for a Streamer (No DAC)
Hi All,
Unfortunately I could not get an Aurender N100h to work with my BlackIce Glass FX Tube DAC so it's going back.
It's a known issue with Aurender, they even have a "bug fix" built into the app but in my case it didn't work.

Budget is ~$1,000 used.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It is the same single-board-computer streamer used in the T+A SDV 3100 HV a $38,000 USD DAC/Streamer. The NanoPi Streamer — A $50 Endpoint That Competes with the Best
