Devialet 120 & Chromecast -> Tidal

[Graziano]

Your budget would be the biggest indicator for suggestions.

I’m not sure what the chrome cast limitations are as far streaming limitations? When I 1st started streaming with my appletv in order to stream applemusic, amazon music, and tidal, it is limited to 16/44.1. Cd quality but not hi res.

I have since switched to a lumin u1 mini and use Roon and the lumin app to stream hi res Quboz up to 32/192. I think the dev and lumin could go higher, but that is as high as tracks I’ve found on the US beta of quboz.

There are many fans of the SOtM products, intel nucs, etc, as well as dedicated streamers such as lumin, auralic Aries, Innuous etc.

You can go from $-$$$ across the gamut, so once we know your intended budget, you will get many recommendations i’m Sure. Your blue sound node referenced would likely be fine. I sure better SQ than your current Chromecast. But I would bet, that many would tell you the other devices listed would be a step up in sq from the bluesound devices. It’s all incremental improvements, you just have to decide at what point does the cost not outweigh the sq improvement.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for your reply mmorrison55!

Of course, sorry for that... I missed the budget. But around the same cost as the Bluesound node 2i, but we can say around 800-1000€.

Have you also tried MQA, is it available at Quboz?
