Why a streamer?

AVR is best at decoding multi channels for movies but it doesn’t recreate the best sound quality which is very noticeable for music as the human voice and piano are the hardest.

Keep posting to every thread...sooner or later someone will agree with you !

I think somebody hired this schnook to peddle overpriced and undersold gear for the holiday season.

Even local streaming is not perfect. I've had my Roon server shut down inexplicably or Plex wants an update. The only device that never fails is my DVD/CD player.

local stream is closest to perfection on the Eversolo dmpa6 which has an ssd card that’s inside the eversolo , so there’s no local network issue between the streamer and music server because there’s only 1 unit.

dvd/cd player may not fail but a scratched disc or dirty read len or dancers in the room will cause the playback to pause/skip.

If you are going to peddle this stuff in every thread, at least give out discount codes.

Would you happen to know "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

Great, now they will peddle mittens made of woodchuck fur.

Well the WiiM is all hooked up and streaming nicely via my iMac but I'm not having success with getting the connectivity paired with my cell phone (Samsung android A42). Apps are installed but unable to pair the phone with streamer ??

So you believe that AVRs only sound good for multi-channel sources?

What do you believe sound better for 2CH music than AVR?

A $1k+ standalone DAC (I prefer r2r) and a $1.5k+ standalone amp combo have better specs than most AVRs, and the sound quality will probably be better.

For an AVR of the same price, OEMs have to pay for licensing of Dolby Atmos, HDMI, etc. so there's less money to devote to the DAC and amp so they aren't as high quality.
