as do I and I never believed in Delta Sigma as something better. I also am not a fan of converting on the fly which is part of this protocol but will listen when I can as anything can be faulted.
My ears tell me that my source is not limiting. I will wait and listen to Rednet for a final opinion but don't expect me to use your ears to tell which is better.
I can easily differentiate between 24/96 and 24/192 wav dubs on what I use and can compare to what was just recorded in the same room by loading a dig file to my dedicated server or just use the recorder (no PCs). The upnp setup beats a Nagra 6 with linear supply direct or if it's feeding the same costly ladder DAC (Naim NDS) in the streaming setup. Anything can be beat but really, I have a little issue with the perceived 'faults' of UPNP when implemented optimumly. Sure, what I'm using is more costly than most use but when comparing formats, one needs to compare the best offered by each. This isn't airplay. I don't think there needs to be a villian for Rednet to be viable. It will be great for it's purpose and perhaps more. I actually hope it's as good as advertised for home use but can see why it may not be best at everything.
If your UnNP is so great - why are you reading this thread? Something must be lacking in your source or you wouldn't be searching for alternatives...
