DSD Mk II - What Streamer?

Why not shoot an email to Denafrips?

As I understand denafrips dacs are USB optimised. Peculiarly, this streamer doesn’t have such an USB output. That would be a query as well.

If they were ā€œUSB optimizedā€ there would be a USB output wouldn’t there? That is true of Holo but not the case with Denafrips.

They are not pin compatible and no mention on the website about being configurable.

Another streamer. If I was looking, I would take a hard look at this one.

For people who do not know already. Lumin U2 plus LHY SW-10 switch with fiber optic direct link is the one I can highly recommend. It bests PST in many areas (not all), and I do not listen to my 2000+ CDs as often as before.

This is the one I’ve been waiting to see compared to the Lumin U2.

I saw the HiFi Rose 150b recently, and that looks really nice. That one has a DAC included at the same price. The difference is the 130 will not include a DAC, but will have a fiber-optic connection

The best I’ve heard is Auralic Aries G2 via USB or I2S using X-SPDIF. I’ve also listened to Hifi Rose 130 demo. Really good and has I2S option.

What was your edit? :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

posted in the wrong thread. :grin:

Using the Sonore Rendu SE still. Just got a new patch for the firmware 1.9. Works nicely.

Researching some DIY streamer options, and here is one example what kind of fun can be had from DIYing a streamer:

Pretty serious techno there. Does not look like a woman or even a ā€œSecond Womanā€ though, no matter the rakish slant of ā€œherā€ upper deck.

Looks like a steamer

No pets either for sure. Way way too much of a shock hazzard.

Bonkers.
