Streamers - The future of digital music playback
Today's hottest music reproduction is undoubtedly the streaming medium, which has gained traction with millions of users worldwide. Physical media such as CDs and vinyls still exist in good stead, but there is no doubt about where the future lies. Streaming is the flexible and user-friendly solution that makes it possible for anyone to listen to their favorite music played in super quality from a streaming service.
Streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Apple Music, YouTube, etc. give you the opportunity to play millions of songs at your leisure. Here it is easy to find new playlists (or create them yourself), or explore newer artists that the services' artificial intelligence thinks you will like. A world of incredible usability opens up, which means you will want to listen to far more music than before, and at the same time it is easier for you to discover new music than ever before. It is smart, intuitive and the sound is excellent.
How do I stream music?
In order to stream music, you first need an internet connection. Then you need to choose one or more streaming services through a subscription. In other words, you need to choose who you want to buy your music from. Spotify and Tidal are very popular, and these services tend to have the largest selection of tracks.
If you want to stream high-resolution music at home, there are two ways to do this. Either via a set of active speakers with a built-in "streaming module", or via a dedicated streamer/network player that connects to your system. At Lydspecialisten we are specialists in both options, and we offer a wide range of products within streaming. Here there are both products for the ordinary Hi-Fi enthusiast and the experienced audiophile.
What is a streamer?
In order to stream your music, you need to have a device that can transfer the digital signal. That is, a so-called digital transport. In addition, you need to have a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter). The DAC is a kind of "digital brain" that is able to convert the digital signal from the transport into an analog signal. This conversion is necessary because only through this can the digital signal become audible music. Therefore, it is necessary to have a DAC in your system if you want to use streaming.
In the vast majority of cases, the digital transport and the necessary DAC are built together in one device. This is called a streamer. It is also possible to purchase a separate digital transport if you already have a DAC in your system. The long and short of it is that in the vast majority of cases you only need to invest in a single device.
The music streamer - The classic streaming solution.
This solution is for those of you who already have a music system at home, but do not yet use streaming. This is a simple device that is able to play music from the internet from the various music services available today. The "streamer" is easily connected to your internet and your existing system.
Lydspecialisten has a wide selection of these streamers that we can offer our customers. Here you will find high quality and ease of use for every penny.
Affordable streamers
At Lydspecialisten we offer compact and high-performance solutions from, among others, iFi Audio, Primare and Cambridge Audio. iFi Audio has in a short time specialized in digital solutions at a very competitive price. Primare also offers digital solutions at a very competitive price. Their affordable NP5 MK2 was named Streamer of the Year by the EISA Awards 2022-2023, and you have to go far up in the price range before you find something that can beat it in terms of sound.
Cambridge Audio is also worth noting when it comes to streaming. Cambridge Audio offers a number of beautiful and well-crafted products within the streaming segment. The Cambridge Azur 851N and Cambridge CXN V2 are among the top sellers, and they offer a wealth of options.
Hi-Fi streamers
In the level above we have products from Swedish Primare, who have demonstrated for many years that they master digital skills in the most distinguished way. Few products have achieved as many prestigious awards for their excellent performance and price ratio as Primare has. Here, the Primare SC15 can be particularly highlighted, which uses Primare's own developed Prisma module. A module that is repeated in their equally excellent amplifiers I15/I25/I35 Prisma.
High-End Streamers
In the heavyweight league we have the products from Lumin and not least the Danish Aavik. Lumin are digital specialists beyond the ordinary, and they have therefore built a very good reputation worldwide for their great competence within streaming and digital signal processing. The same can be said of the Danish Aavik, which in a short time has manifested itself as one of the world's leading manufacturers of truly serious Hi-Fi. In practically all areas.
Lumin - Uncompromising streamers
Lumin offers a wide range of very serious products, ranging from the U2 mini model to the top model X1. The Lumia U2 mini functions solely as a digital transport to be used with an existing DAC. The mid-range model Lumin T2, on the other hand, is a dedicated streamer, and it has been a big reason for Lumin's increasing success. This excellent streamer has now been replaced by the new Lumin T3, which is undoubtedly even better than its predecessor, and the demand is also high.
Of course, Lumin also offers their take on the ultimate streamer, currently called the Lumin X1. A costly affair. But for those who want sound in a class of its own, the Lumin X1 is a very popular and recognized choice. The characteristic of Lumin's streamers is that they have an exceptionally high sound quality and at the same time a strong functional solution. It's all wrapped up in a stylish and compact design, and this combination means that Lumin is here to stay.
Aavik Acoustics - Streamers in the absolute top class
At Lydspecialisten we are more than proud to be able to offer Aavik's exceptional products to our customers. Here we are really talking about electronics from the absolute top shelf, and as you know, that kind of thing is not completely free. However, it is our opinion that these Danish-made top products deliver a performance that fully justifies their cost price in every respect. When only the absolute best is good enough, take a closer look at Aavik.
Aavik is capable of delivering all types of serious High-End electronics. Their streamers are characterized by an incredibly clean and quiet sound reproduction. Absolutely nothing is left to chance here, and Aavik uses astronomical resources in the pursuit of the perfect sound. This can be clearly heard when you listen to their products. This is absolutely first-class sound.
