I'm looking at DAC options to pair w/ an Asgard 2. Besides the obvious choice Bifrost or Modi, HRT products have caught my eye.
Has anyone compared HRT MicroStreamer vs the Music Streamer?
The MicroStreamer is a DAC/Amp combo. I don't really need the amp since I have the Asgard, but I've seen some positive reviews of the Microstreamer. Appears that for HP listening the Microstreamer has some advantages. I get the impression that the folks at HRT who have recently released the Micro think it's an improvement from the Music Streamer over all.
From what I can tell, the Microstreamer was designed to connect directly into HP's, whereas the Music Streamer might be designed to use with a separate amplifier or powered stereo/audio system. Micros is also geared toward portability. And, I'm primarily interested in designated listening with HP set up utilzing my PC and stereo equipment that are all in the same spot.
I'd love to hear from anyone whose tried both to see if the SQ on Mocrostreamer is an improvement on their popular Music Streamer product.
