(...) Excellent streaming is available, but in my experience only from expensive ready-made solutions, as is your Taiko Extreme, or from very tinker-intensive DIY or semi DIY solutions that are very susceptible to substantial drop in sound quality with just minor things being off.
Before owning the Extreme I relied on DIY assembled PC system with several tweaks, with using Jcat cards, connected to the dCS upsampler RJ45 input using a separate Jcat network card. Although the Extreme sounds better IMHO, it also sounded very good and I could happily live for a few years with it.
We should remember that this is an hobby where people vary the height of the tonearm by 1 mm and go from hell to heaven!
