Here’s a new feedback today from a client who ordered EtherStream before reporting updates with new EtherStream2 and Nikola2.

Hi Keetakawee,

Thank you for sending me the new EthernetStream2 and Nikola2..You have achieved something very special here! I use an Aurender W20 to serve all digital audio and it allows me to stream Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify. I always use data stored on the drives in the Aurender where I can, because no streaming service can match locally-served data (even using a Naim ND-555).

But more importantly, with your new products in the signal path, streamed audio is as close to locally-served audio as I’ve yet heard. The sound is more open, textures and soundstage are significantly improved – and if I wasn’t able to do a side-by-side comparison between streamed and locally served, I’d have said the streamed audio was as good as locally served.

This is a significant change, because streamed audio has previously sounded a lot less dynamic and involving. So Congratulations!

I’m delighted to have upgraded and am happy to know that I now have access to a significantly better and far more enjoyable audio source for streaming – and one I can happily live with whenever I don’t have the music stored locally.

Thank you! ?

I’m happy to hear that he can enjoy streaming in his highend system to the extent that he feel it could be as good as locally served. 🙂
