If you’re curious about the current status of the incident, the device is still pending spare parts or approval for replacement from ROSE. Quite remarkable, isn’t it?
Anyone that thinks a streamer can’t possibly make a difference in SQ should exit this forum and go straight to https://www.toppingaudio.com/
Topping makes Roon-ready, big-screen streamers now?
Oh, wait, it’s just the 130 bagholders talking nonsense again.
Of course a streamer can make a difference in sound. If it is broken. Possibly by design. You can believe otherwise all you want. You can also believe in spontaneous human combustion.
I don’t really want to discuss other brands here which is a bit disrespectful to the hosts. I think the alternatives are well known. You’re absolutely right, a PM would better. After all this time the software problems don’t get solved they actually get worse. But the sound is still excellent and I have found ways to get stable video now. When it works it can be an amazing machine. But it terms of functionality it is a frustrating mess still. I have a faint hope still that one day an upgrade will appear and voila, everything will work…Isn’t that one of the famous definitions of insanity?
