In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, hosts Robert and Sandra explore the growing role of network streamers in high-end audio. More than just convenience, a well-designed streamer can rival or even surpass traditional disc players. They unpack how noise isolation, clocking, and software architecture affect sound—and what to consider when choosing one. Whether you're streaming from Tidal, Qobuz, or your own NAS, getting it right at the source makes all the difference.
