Well I'm trying to do it as cheap as possible. I did a demo with a Devialet 200 using a UnitiQute 2 stepping upto a ND5 XS to a NDX and with each step the Devialet sounded better, without doubt due to the fact each device has a better power supply within each streamer.
I'm wondering if a Mac Mini can compare sound quality wise with the above mentioned. Only an NDS / 555PS DR as a source via S/PDIF sounded amazing through a Devialet 250, certainly the best I've ever heard what a Devialet can do. Certain tracks played through this sounded like it was in the room. But 13k for a streamer is alot just to stream music to the Devialet.
I mean can a Mac Mini stream music with a wide, expansive, weighty, airey, detailed sound stage like an NDS / 555PS with it's tiny power supply? This is the conundrum I have..
The Devialet 200 + ND5 XS combo sounded abit thin with no real weight and power to the sound compared to the Devialet 250 + NDS / 555PS.
Anyone here upgraded from a SuperUniti to a Devialet? Was the sound that much superior?
