@audio-b-dog I’m certainly glad it’s better! But I’m also sticking to my theory :)
yes the Meitner is all about minimizing compromises. Streaming card is high quality and the DAC is top notch.
Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end?
I have a good analogue front end. Not stratuspherically good but good enough for this comparison. VPI Prime Signature 21 turntable, Pass Labs XP-25 pono preamp, Pass Labs XP-30 preamp and Hovland Radia amp. It has a lovely, very involving sound. On the right recording, I just drop everythng and am drawn in to listen.
My streamer, on the other hand, is decent but not spectacular. It is better than my CD player, but it is not jaw-dropping like my analogue front-end. My question is this: does anyone have a high-end, tier-one streamer (dCS Bartok Apex, Lumin X2, or something like them) that can rival a good analogue system?

@audio-b-dog I suggested changing DNS to google as a potential means to resolve the dropouts. But this was before you mentioned that the dropouts coincide with the AC starting up. |
For some reason the A/C startup no longer seems to bother the Meitner. I have had so many combinations and permutations of things I no longer can remember what didn't work when. But Qobuz is definitely my most stable platform. I need to delete it and download it again so I can tell it to default to the Meitner. |
@audio-b-dog if qobuz connect works then jplay should be rock solid as well. So is mconnect but that interface is crap. |
