Thanks for the reply. I think I will save a few bucks for music, since I also belive that asynchronous USB (where the clock in the active speakers is in charge of timing) will always have the same properties no matter the input (pc, streamer, cd player).

Thanks for the reply! Does anyone here made any practical comparisions with laptop vs hifi streamer?

Anyone with some practical experience on this subject?

Hello guys, I need an opinion from the community about whether there is something to be gained on sound quality or ease of use if I stream music from dedicsted music streamer instead of laptop. My current setup: Old laptop - usb cable - active speakers External HDD is connected to the...

Guys, it's time to close this thread before it becomes nasty. Thanks for all of your suggestions!!! My current favorites are Nubert NuPro A-200 and Dali Kubik Free + Xtra. Thanks once again!

I agree. Many products aside from UK and USA are not even reviewed here. Great products from companies with impeccable reputation and many decades of existence are not even tested here, and probably mentioned only by forum members which live outside of the UK (companies like Nubert, Genelec...

OK, let's nail it: The market for active speakers with built-in DAC and both optical and USB inputs for around 1000 eur is VERY limited, and keeping in mind above requirements, then it appears that: AVI DM5 don't have digital inputs and ADM9RS are outside of my price range; Dynaudio Xeo 3 are...

Now, this is more like it. Thanks for the replies, guys!!! I was barely aware of the Audio Pro, although they have a five star product at WHF. Nocks - I didn't know this brand until now, although NS2 is their sole product, and it is on the smallish side. Nupert - it seems like a serious...

Well, it seams that market for this type of product is still in its infancy, and there is not much choice out there...

After Christmas, please

Just spent few hours on AVI forums. It seems Ashley&Co are unusually open and honest, and very informative too!!!

Thanks for the suggestions Steve, I will keep AVI on my options list. Your thread here about your experience with DM5 has been very helpful and informative for me. Best rgds, Goran

Thanks for suggestions, Overdose, I will look further into AVI's, especially ADM9RS. I will stream music from my Windows laptop, so if I go for this option I would need additional USB/SPDIF converter (I don't have optical out on my laptop). Dali Kubik + Xtra, from the other side, have both USB...

I can live with their looks, if the colour is right AND reviews were more favourable :-)

Yeah, I know about Quad's, I didn't mention them because of the half-favourable review at WHF, and I don't have a chance for audition in my country, so I must shop blind. Thanks for describing your experience with their sound.
