[Taram]

Hi there,

I'm looking for a big improvement for my FLAC listening next Christmass and I m wondering which of Pioneer N50 or Arcam irDac could be the best invest for my system.

My goal is to match the dynamics of my NAD C521 BEE CD player that procure me a really lively and musical experience.

All other suggestions are wellcome,

Thx

These are two different products. One is a dac, the other a streamer. Do you want to stream network files or take a digital output from your CD player?

What do you actually need as they're two completely different types of products?

Hi, I'm interested of the comparison of the sound result quality.

I m fully aware of the difference of the two devices. My system is quite versatile. I already use a BELKIN wifi USB hub to connect wirelessly extenal HD and HiFi dac with my PC. So I m could buy a DAC and continue to enjoy my wireless music or make my system even more efficient by buying a streamer and a NAS. But here I m just wonder which one would give me the best sound to play music from a HD.
