En adjonction avec un bon Dac, j'obtiens un son excellent, dynamique, ciselé. J'ai fait des essais avec 4 ou 5 Dacs différents (boitier ou sous forme de clé) et Daphile les a immédiatement reconnus, difficile de faire plus simple. Avec les reglages par défaut, c'est déjà exceptionnel. Celui qui veut peaufiner constatera que ce ne sont pas les options qui manquent, (ré-échantillonage etc). Il n'y aucune photo entre la qualité sonore de cette petite perle et toutes cartes son imaginables sur un PC. Pas l'ombre d'un Jitter, ni même d'un quart de souffle entre les titres. Reposant & très qualitatif. Tout ça à partir d'un ancien ordi portable qu'on aurait cru bon pour la casse. C'est magique et impressionnant :) Merci au responsable de ce très beau projet qui satisfait tous les mélomanes. Was this review helpful?

It has nothing to envy (in fact) to the Node 2i that I still own (and no longer use). It is connected to a very simple NUC with a Core i5 and 8GB of RAM via USB. I tried it with various DACs (Denafrips ARES II, Singxer SDA 6 PRO, SMSL D100 PRO): never encountered any problems. The option to move the playlist/album you want to listen to "on the fly" to the RAM disk is fantastic. Highly recommended!!! Was this review helpful?

Installed on a micro PC that need not be a computing powerhouse, I have a flexible, customizable music server and streamer. This includes plugins that allow the user to stream from Tidal, Deezer, Quboz, Spotify and other services. There is a partnership between Daphile and the folks behind LMS: Lyrion Music Server, formerly known as Logitech Media Server. Much of the customizability is a product of that partnership. You could pay a lot of money to buy a prepackaged, one-box solution that does what Daphile does. Think of the BlueSoound Node 2 or the ifi Zen Streamer. Here at my home office I use the USB output from the micro PC running Daphile to the input of my DAC. I stream music from my home network drive, or internet radio stations like Radio Paradise, JB Radio 2, or Naim Classical. Alternatively, I can access my Tidal account and stream directly from Tidal through Daphile. Sincere thanks to Daphile for allowing greater enjoyment of my music. Was this review helpful?
