Hi Audiophile chaps,
I have recently converted an audiophile friend of mine to Squeezebox. He has the following equipment: - AMP: YBA ligne2 Alpha high current - Speakers: B&W CM9 - DAC: TEAC UD 501 - expensive cables :-) - LMS on Pi4 wired on Network - SB Touch on Wifi that is connected to the DAC via Coax. Recently he has contacted a high-end Hifi shop to ask what he should be upgrading in order to have an even better sound quality. The owner was clear: for him the weakest point from his set up was LMS and the Touch. For him, a good streamer would bring a huge quality improvement even if connected digitally to an external DAC. He told him to either buy a Bluesound Node 2i (with or without the Teac DAC) or move to an Innuos Zen Mini mk3 (with LMS or Roon) that could be equipped with an external powersupply. I am not sure I understand why LMS/Touch connected to a DAC or any other solutions to the same DAC could be better: at the end of the day, that's the DAC who will do the job, isn't it? Any recommendation I could give to my friend? Cheers!
