The streaming revolution.

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.

It may be that they are accustomed to an introduced coloration that is suddenly absent, or the streamed copy is from a different master, or the streamer or DAC performance leaves something to be desired. 

It is easy to fall into the assumption that because "bits are bits," little audible variability exists among digital streaming devices than analog components (e.g. speakers, preamps, etc.). As many have discovered, the reality is different, and the bits are not to blame.
