My brother came over last night and with him brought a kindle fire loaded with usb audio player and an otg usb cable to go between the tablet and my caiman seg.
My digital set up right now is using BubbleuPnP to play tidal through Volumio on my rpi/digione.
He was pretty confident it would outdo the digione as i am only currently getting 44.1khz due to rpi/volumio limitations (need to decide which piece of hardware im going to use to run Audirvarna on but i will save that conversation for another day. It will at the very least be trialled at some point)
We loaded up some familiar tracks on both devices and did some back to back tests flicking the input of the seg from usb to coaxial and back again.
It was very close run thing at first i think we both needed to get into the comparing frame of mind but we soon came to the conclusion that digione seemed to have a deeper and wider soundstage. Seperation was more apparent through the digione and it just seemed more textured and 3 dimensional if that makes sense. Bass seemed more controlled too and possibly a little deeper. The differences were by no means night and day but it was there and obvious.
Got a bit worried there for a minute thought my digione was about to be undone by a cheap player with a clever android app. The digione is staying for now!
