371 Lettore di rete / Amplificatore

I was skeptical about a network player doubling as a DAC and preamp, but the sound through my old bookshelf speakers is genuinely cleaner. Streaming from my phone took a few minutes to set up, and now it's what I use every evening.

Swapped my separate DAC and preamp out for this one box and the noise floor dropped noticeably. Feeding it from my CD transport through the coaxial input sounds cleaner than my old stack ever did. Having the network player built in just seals it for me.

I streamed Qobuz straight to it all weekend and the built-in DAC handles hi-res files without a hint of harshness. Having the preamp and network player in one chassis also cleared a shelf of clutter.
