491 Odtwarzacz sieciowy / przedwzmacniacz

Having the streamer and preamp in one chassis cleared up so much rack space, and I honestly can't hear any compromise from combining them. Switching between my turntable and Tidal is instant, which I didn't expect to appreciate this much.

Swapped my old two-box setup for this and the noise floor dropped instantly — streaming Tidal through the network player straight into my amp sounds cleaner than my CD transport ever did. Having the preamp built into the same chassis also freed up a shelf, which my rack badly needed.

The separate DAC and preamp stages really show — streaming from my NAS sounds noticeably cleaner than through my old all-in-one. Setup took maybe fifteen minutes, though I wish the remote felt a bit more substantial for the price.
