I have a brand new Ultra I have never used yet, had a Pro + I should of kept until I could test them against each other but unfortunately I sold it. Full time in an RV, space is at a premium so considering buying another Pro + and selling the Ultra or make a part trade, etc.....Everything has to fit on a 24x54" desktop A 27" monitor, SFF computer, keyboard, mouse, computer speakers, small tube amp, streamer, tablet, DAC, etc...and not look crowded, right
I will be using a very good older tablet to control the streamer so the Ultra screen does not matter. I also have the ifi power supply for the Pro +
My main question is if using a good outboard DAC does one streamer sound better than the other?
(My current DAC is the Topping E70 Velvet)
I like the idea of the sub out on the Ultra but likely will not need or use it as my DAC can be used to drive the sub(s) if I end up needing them which would have it's own gain control.
Any other helpful info would be greatly appreciated as well.
For those of the measurements are all the matters crowd kindly keep your opinions to yourself, if you cannot hear a difference I am actually glad for you, makes things much easier
I am only interested in responses from those that can hear differences.
Thanks!
Rick
