Two versions are available:
-the d1-streamer-live, the latest version which embeds the best USB module ever made and the new USB microfilter. One AES-EBU output by default.
-the d1-streamer-sublime, the previous version based on the USB GIGAFILTER. Two AES-EBU outputs by default.
Stereophile Recommended Components 2024: classified A+
"To see how much the d1-streamer-sublime was adding to this delightful illusion,
I replaced it with my own streamer: the much less expensive and kludgier combinaison of the Sonore ultraRendu
and Denafrips Iris digital-to-digital converter (the latter to enable an AES3 connection to the d1-unity).
The resulting sound was possibly a hair more forcefull but also audibly less refined and purposeful.
The meaning of the music was less obvious, and everything sounded just a bit more mechanical.",
Alex Halberstadt, Stereophile
"About the new Unity architecture, Vincent Brient says that it brings 'presence, clarity, body and dynamics'.
It's obvious from the very first notes, a bit like pulling the contours of an image with the mouse on to enlarge it while revealing the background.
More resolution, more nuance, more substance matter - and yes, the dynamics, more precisely the dynamic range."
Diapason
The d1-streamer has an AES-EBU digital output (and coax on order), so compatible with most DACs.
Your music can be stored in a NAS, in a computer connected to the network somewhere in your house (or in a USB disc connected to that computer),
or the music can come from the Internet (streaming via Tidal, Qobuz or more, Internet radios, Youtube...).
