It's the premium quality and I don't think it is anywhere near the quality of my lossless FLAC files......mind it's a lot of fun and pretty addictive Best streamer(s) alternatives for Devialet Air - Bob58 - 16-Oct-2015 Did you try what we call optical bridge In french ?

Curious witch streamer you guys think top Air for a reasonable price. Think this will be interesting for a lot of people because there is a lot of frustration over Air. Would be cool if everyone who has experience with external streamers could make an short list (top 3) on terms of price/quality. Hope we can get some input! Thanks! Can you tell me what your previous setup was? I now play with Roon from my iMac witch is connected to the Devialet with the Audioquest Coffee cable. RE: Best streamer(s) alternatives for Devialet Air - KraaijCheck - 17-Oct-2015 What are the pro's and con's of the Moon Mind streamer? I have the Moon Mind 260d cd transport and think it matches and sounds amazing with the devialet. To be honest, i'm not sure i want to spend a lot of money on a separate streamer because Air isn't stable. I really like the sound of my setup at the moment but there always is a little voice in my head thats talking to me and telling me it can be better.

I seem to recall that the Moon streamer had a poor app. I did have it on my shortlist ( longlist) when i first got my 200/ RE: Best streamer(s) alternatives for Devialet Air - KraaijCheck - 17-Oct-2015 (17-Oct-2015, 09:09)Womaz Wrote:(17-Oct-2015, 06:20)KraaijCheck Wrote: What are the pro's and con's of the Moon Mind streamer?

In that case a "bad" app isn't a problem anymore.

I have the Moon Mind 260d cd transport and think it matches and sounds amazing with the devialet. Later this year we're all hoping that 'RoonSpeakers' (or whatever it's called now) vendors will be announced. Right now it's a guess. Unless the Moon Mind has AirPlay in which case you can use it at 44.1.

I am using the Moon MiND renderer with a Teddy Pardo 12/2 power supply and it,s sound is impressive good ! Although my current amplifier is a Pass Labs Int.150, I had the chance to try a D200 from my dealer and so I was able to try out the sonic performance of the Moon 180 MiND connected to the internal dac of the D200 by using a good digital AES/EBU interlink. The good experiences I already had with the sonic performance of the 180 MiND/Teddy Pardo power supply were now even exeeded by the sonic performance of the 180 MiND with the internal dac of the D200 ! With the latest firmware updates the handling of the MiND controller app is stable and good without any problems and also the recent Tidal integration works very reliable without any problems at all. |
