In Reply to: RE: Streamers- Probably the worst value in audio posted by 1974 on April 05, 2025 at 08:01:06
Interesting. I've been using RPi's as streamers for many years now and have switched to WiiM devices on all four of my systems but one since the WiiM software app makes them much easier for my wife to use. Can't say that I've noticed any audible difference that I can ascribe to the streamer-only aspect. While not as cheap as a straight RPi setup, I still consider the WiiM's a very good value due to their ease of setup/use and excellent app.
Of course, I gave up my "audiophile" card years ago so I'm sure others are hearing things I don't. I just like enjoying the music.

Similar here. I was a magazine review and 'recommended components' trained audiophile for a couple decades. After not hearing what the reviewers were hearing I had to turn in my audiophile card. I shed the shackles of believing that sound quality is proportional to price and I am now free to simply enjoying the music.
