In Barn: totaldac d1-streamer

March 4, 2019 Michael Lavorgna In for Review

totaldac d1-streamer (5990euros incl VAT in Europe, 5500euros excl VAT out of EU).

The d1-streamer has digital outputs exclusively, spdif and AES-EBU, 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…).
