LMS with HI-end Streamer+Dac

[bunkertoy]

Great stuff guys.Streamer on its own, probably best approach and spending the cash on a DAC only might be a better. I'm just thinking down the road sampling more high rez files, as the Transporter only supports 24/96. I've done some research the last few weeks on a PI player. I would get the Allo Digi...

Hi all, another inquiry.
I've been looking into higher end DACs, perhaps replacing the Bel Canto 3.7. As I search and browse many great DACs, I'm noticing lots of DACs incorporating a Streamer in the same box.
Was recently drooling over the Cary Audio DMS-600 Streamer/Dac. I'm loving the...

Cheers, my DAC seems to readout the correct Flac bitrate. I should have left it alone. Sometimes reading the forums gets you tweaking stuff. All the best.

Either NATIVE or Disabled. I play mainly FLAC files ranging from 44.1/48./96.0 and some MP3 @320Kps....

Every time I look at other streamers, they just don't cut it compared to the Transporter. I truly love this device. I also have it hooked up to an...

I did eventually go with an external DAC. I got a Bel Canto 3.7 dac(worth $5000 in its day). I'm using the AES/EBU output on the Transporter. I recently read that the designer suggests using the coaxial output instead of the AES. My Bel Canto also has BNC connections. not sure if I'll notice a sound...
