Streamer to kill the big boys for under $250

[wisnon]

Breaking news for Lampizator owners. Native DSD 256 compatibility for all Lampi DAC's that utilize the Amanero USB interface (Most of them) will be available with this low cost streamer option around the same time it's available with the Lampi Komputer. Just imagine Linux native DSD 256, combined with Fiber isolation and all of the benefits of the HQplayer NAA system!!

Anyone who already has the image, and has a Lampi DAC, will get a new free updated image once available. I forgot to mention, this image comes with free upgrades for life. If a better way to do things comes along, I'll make a new image and send it off to everyone for absolutely free. And you can trust me that I'm always on the lookout and will be one of the first to know if this is the case. And it will always be simple and plug and play.

For example, it wasn't until after I came out with this system that Lampi decided Linux was better than Windows. In fact they slammed Linux for sounding dry and sterile.

No! Lukasz told me all this before you came out with the idea and I TOLD you that already. Lukasz never reads forums unless directed to it and I certainly didnt tell him. Indeed, I knew about this from Geoff and EurDriver a year ago, and EuroDriver and I visited the Lampi Sound room in Warsaw in Novemeber when we went to the show. Go to CA and you will see the NAA/FMC adventure and see that Sound Galleries debuted a Lampi fronted by a Server/NAA front end in MUnich 2015!

Definitely not a new invention. Bibo01 has been doing this for a looong time as well. Your commendable contribution is to make a turnkey solution for the average Joe who does not want to do the rabbit hole thing, but is willing to plunk down for an inexpensive yet elegant solution!! Dont oversell, its counterproductive.

So you finally applied the patch, which I knew about for ages, good for you.

All it is, is compressed PCM. Based on what folks are saying who have compared it to high rez PCM, they say it's not even as good. After "decoding" it ends up regular PCM data anyways. So you will experience the same level of upgrade converting regular PCM to DSD with HQplayer with MQA streams as PCM. The only advantage is, better sounding music will be available through streaming services like Tidal. which will be 100% compatible with this streamer.

There is more wow from RBCD upsampling than Hirez, but I will concede that AFTER decoding, the benefits are already locked in.

However there is not a lot of material with the corrective filters as that takes remastering and its not done yet. That is the hidden SQ gem. Otherwise its inferior to regular hirez as its a bit lossy.

I was not wowed by my demo, but I am sure I didnt hear the "corrective filter" tracks.

Stop making up stuff!!!!!! Lukasz told me all this before you came out with the idea and I TOLD you that already. Lukasz never reads forums unless directed to it and I certainly didnt tell him. Indeed, I knew about this from Geoof and EurDriver a year ago, and EuroDriver and I visited the Lampi sound room in Warsaw in Novemeber when we went to the show. Go to CA and you will see all the adventure and see that Sound Galleries debuted a Lampi fronted by a Server/NAA front end in MUnich 2015!

You have not invented anything new. Bibo01 has been doing this for a looong time as well. You commendable contribution is to make a turnkey solution for the average Joe who does not want to do the rabbit hole thing, but is willing to plunk down foran inexpensive yet elegant solution!! Dont oversell, its infra dig.

So you finally applied the patch, which I knew about for ages, just not all the details of it…Hahahahah

I know I didn't invent anything. Just giving you a hard time about beating Lampi to it

Well still waiting for the patch. I'll let everyone know when it's ready.

Too expensive to contemplate. Not sure you can load a NAA onto it and if its too noisy anyway. Besides, ikt will be your MQA decoder after soon to come FW update.

Interesting. I did not know that was coming....I have a lot of thinking to do regarding streaming.....

 

[Geardaddy]

Bliz, when will the formal integration between HQP and Roon be complete? I have heard both are a PITA to use....

What we all really need are dacs that do PCM justice and are impervious to the transport....so you could use a Sonos....lol

It's been up and running for a few weeks already. Everything you heard about being a PITA is due to people who don't know what they are doing, setting things up improperly, with the wrong hardware. The point of this system is to avoid that and do things the best way possible.

Yeah well you can buy the DCS stack, but I would try HQplayer with a low cost DAC designed for transparency before taking that route.

You came out with this system... LOL

You are just amazing. You have the ability to make this amazing image and update it all on your own... And then you have the power to influence Lampizator.. What's next??? Walking on water???

You sure like to contradict yourself around here. But glad to see you're learning anyways

Lukasz updates his website at most 3 times a year. Most of the techie stuff there is already out of date ..and you KNOW this. He told me good things about Linux months ago and was waiting for 256 capabilities. If you doubted before, now you have proof.

If you know of someone else who came out with a turn key image for HQplayer NAA/Airplay for plug and play use with the Intel NUC 3815, please let me know.

He told me good things about Linux months ago and was waiting for 256 capabilities. You basically called me a liar when I yold you that hes was playing 256 Dop weeks and weeks ago and that native was due at any time a few weeks back.

Just giving you a hard time. If I don't who will

 

[wisnon]

If you know of someone else who came out with a turn key image for HQplayer NAA/Airplay for plug and play use with the Intel NUC 3815, please let me know.

Lukasz is a pal of Geoff and Eurodriver. They both had a fully isolated NAA system in Munich last year fronting a Big7 that Lukasz provided to them. Lukasz spent a lot of time in that room. They could have easily come out with a solution optiomized around other hardware.

 

[wisnon]

Let's move on to more enlightening topics.

 

[wisnon]

Busted me?????lol

You think i am in the business? Hahahah. Not a chance.
I bought your steamer idea because it seemed to be a neat bundle. EuroD told me about this ages ago but I had no time to take it in. I still have nit done anything with your turnkey package.

EuroD. et al have moved to a top class Server that will blow away your turnkey package (of course at a MUCH higher price of circa $10K). They have been there, done that and bought the T shirt.

 

[BobShermanEsq]

You really are a goon. Sigh.

I have had enogh ofvthus circular reasoning. You dont know when to quit and you will say any BS to try to be right.

 

[Blizzard]

Lukasz is a pal if Geoff and Eurodriver. They both had a fully isolated NAA system in Munich last year fronting a Big7 that Lukasz provided to them. Lukasz spent a lot of time in that room. Yet, you somehow think your late to the table package influenced him to switch to Linux? ROTFLMAO.

The logic is flawed and the facts are warped. I only hope nobody buys this BS.

MIKE you have talents and skills. Why besmirch it with falsehoods and wild innuendo? Totally counterproductive and unethical.

They used the Nuc 3815 with fiber isolation, LPS and this image? Please share some links!!

 

[Blizzard]

Oh well, we'll see how it compares.

 

[Blizzard]

Excellent. I can't wait to hear unbiased comparisons between this system and that top class server. Will they be around about the same price point?

 

[Blizzard]

more sexual tension in here than a ang lee cowboy movie... get a room guys

No tension on my end. Calm as the air after a blizzard has blown through town

 

[Germanboxers]

Mike,
Would you please point me to the location where I can purchase and download the audiolinux version for this streamer? I have scanned every page of this and the other thread and for the life of me can't find the link.

Thanks,

Jordan
