The streaming revolution.

"I truly pity those who haven’t yet discovered or fully embraced it."

Streaming provides a vast array of content, yet seldom if ever is that content's SQ on par with well recorded and reproduced analogue music.

I reconcile this by noting that so many of the folks who have embraced streaming on AG (e.g. in the hi-fi market) are at the age where significant hearing-loss is a fact of life.  

Sorry, but my sympathy runs in the opposite direction...

Unsurprising. That’s a low bar 😂😂🤣

As I said, it didn’t take long. I was never going to take the word of some guy on the internet without listening for myself.

I actually hadn’t heard of Asset uPnP until you mentioned it. It seems to be well known mostly in the UK at this point.

It definitely deserves a serious look, but I’m afraid its reasonable pricing will deter Audiophools.

I wonder if the people who haven’t embraced streaming is because they have a laptop or a blue sound node? it can be a punch in the gut when you look at the prices they want for a good quality streamer. Yet I would wager that there would be less naysayers if they were to get one.

+1 Yep, I remember looking at high end streamers and balking. Then I got one and the wall crumbled. What took me so long. There is just no comparison in a good system.
