Streamer to kill the big boys for under $250
- Thread starter Blizzard
- Start date
I have heard the gap between the R2R and current gen standard PCM board is not that great either.....
Well, I finally have a Mac that can stand up under the duress of HQplayer upsampling and all the bits and pieces for optical isolation are ordered. I will keep everyone posted....thanks Mike for all the input....(and power supply).
Can I come listen when you get everything set up?
Of course. Remind me again where you live? In the generalized hood?
Due to work and young kids, it takes me 10x as long to do anything compared to me peer group....so don't hold your breathe....
I am south of Winston Salem, just down the street from you. I am anxious to hear your results.

Hi guys,
Please disregard all previous posts regarding Audiolinux. There's now a free version of the HQplayer NAA image for amd64 available from Signalyst. Now that I know this I don't feel right offering an image for sale. Quality should be identical besides lack of airplay support. I will no longer be offering the Audiolinux image, but I will offer support to those who already have it. And for those who don't want to configure the free version yourself, you can buy the Sonore Sonic orbiter SE or the soon to be released Sonore Micro Rendu. Both excellent products, offer NAA/airplay support, and Jesus is a great guy.

What NAA image by Signalyst for your NUC are you talking about?

There isn't one. It will take some work to get it going. But if folks aren't up for it, they can buy the Sonore products.
Mike,
The Sonore will sample DSD 256 and the Linux presently only sample DSD 128? Is that correct?
Thanks

Yes I personally haven't tested the Sonore products, but if you're looking for native DSD 256 support for the Lampi with the Amanero, he's likely waiting for the same native DSD Linux patch as I'm waiting for to make it happen.
You can follow this thread for updates on this as they are the ones working on it:

And if anyone who has built the superstream, has compared it to the Sonore products, please share comparison impressions.
Well, thanks to Blizz I finally got my NUC and Roon/HQplayer up and running. Sounds great and what a great interface Roon is. 21st century iTunes.....
