[QUOTE="Chaos, post: 1529637, member: 121"] Agreed that the biggest influence to sound quality is the transducer at the end. However the second biggest thing in the chain after that is the source. After all its garbage in, garbage out. Never heard the music streamer but I highly doubt it'd be much better than the STX. Get a proper dedicated dac. If you have the patience to wait for a while, you can try pulling the trigger on the metrum octave. All I've heard about it are glowing praises - not just from reviewers but from end users too. Since you are in SG, head to adelphi with your headphone and amp and try out as many dacs as you can before deciding. Unlike us, you are sitting on a goldmine :P. [/QUOTE]
