jake1767 Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Hi And thanks for reading this thread. I have been using a dune smart D1 streamer for a few years. I use the hdmi out connected to a screen for the picture, and i use the stereo analogue outs for the audio. Surprisingly the audio quality is very good. I have a htpc with an asus stx II soundcard and the dune's analogue outs are not far behind in sound quality, especially considering the stxII is a top end card. For the audio the dune ases an AKM4429et dac, i can see a ax117 ldo regulator near it and also a few other ics that i can't identify rt19018a, el-eb 62p, jz9 83-13. If i wanted to upgrade the audio to surround sound and keep the good video quality, with the same arrangement ( hdmi for picture and analogue outs for audio ) which streamer would you recommend. The zidoo x20 pro at £600 seems good but only has stereo analogues. Is there anything you have used or heard anything about. Thanks!

The latest model Onkyo have AKM chips and can do 5.1 and more. https://www.intl.onkyo.com/downloads/product_info/pdf/tx-nr575e_euex_leaflet.pdf I have no idea how these units sound though.
