The device is not Roon Ready yet. It is in the process of certification and I do not have an estimated date as to when that will complete. The PecanPi+ DAC is Roon Tested however. Once Roon Ready certification is completed I will make that announcement.
@abxaudiophiles 3 ай бұрын
Thanks Leo…. I will say, my ROON core instantly recognized the Pi+ SP, and worked perfectly with ROON. But as Leo says, not certified yet.

Hands down my favorite dac and streamer combo for the price. At $1499 its a no brainer in my mind. It will last someone a LONG TIME!! Until you're willing to spend thousands on seperate dacs and amp and find the right combination. This will serve you very well for a long long time.

Yes, as you've surely seen (I HAVE seen....and stop calling me Shirley :-) they are in DIP-8 sockets like opamps. I have a medical forcep that is perfect to take them out. Used to use it to opamp roll some time ago.....VERY easy

You can always put together something that will be better if you are setting the bar at 2x GUSTARD R26 R2R $1,500 Pi 2 Design - Mercury Streamer V3 $600 $2,100 and would surpass anything mentioned for many/most in the audio community Beat that for $2,100…I don’t think so For the $$$ the Orchard Audio is a excellent value and I have the Orchard PecanPi+ Streamer DAC which I consider to be excellent Nice that there are great brands/people like Orchard Audio

Yea, I’ve just learned that you gotta a least double the cost to even have a chance of making a worthwhile jump. Most times there just lateral moves that maybe do some things better and some things not so much. Right now the PS Audio DirectStream is the Gem of the system. Getting ready to have some upgrades dropped in it. 🤩👌👍🏼

Great review. I don´t use Roon, i use Tidal, do i have to pay the monthly fee to use Volumio Premium with the Orchard Stream Premium?

@zenfishbike 3 ай бұрын
Agree Leo makes great stuff and is great to work with. I have the original PecanPi but don't use it because volumio is far too buggy. When I sit down to listen to music the last thing I want is to have to become a software tech to get it and keep it going. That was a $500 unit. At the new prices it really should get away from raspberry pi architecture
@abxaudiophiles 3 ай бұрын
I still have and run the burr brown based Pi and love it. 😊. Keeping it updated can get fussy sometimes for sure. For me, well worth the work… 😊😊. But I’m ROON based so most issues are negated.
@zenfishbike 3 ай бұрын
@@abxaudiophiles Thats the one I have too. I tried to go to Roon to get away from Volumio but that also was fraught with technical issues. I literally have the most basic home network and couldn't get it to work. I've adopted Wiim Pro streamers with upgraded power supplies and separate DACS and functionality is seamless. If Wiim can do it on a $125 streamer I think Orchard Audio at $1200 should too.

I'd REALLY love to see how Leo's newest streamer compares to Black Ice Audio's Aries WiFi streamer/DAC/preamp that Z reviews paired with Leo's amp. That little beauty is the only thing holding me back from purchasing Leo's streamer. Both are such juicy and delicious offerings.

GM ❄️☕️ from Toronto This looks damn interesting 🤔..tho I’ve already got a DAC that I’m very happy with.( new Denafrips Ares 12-1) tho I’m using the Wiim Pro as the WIFI streamer …my others half isn’t going to let me drill and pass cat cable to the audio stack … I’d consider this Orchard Streamer..without the DAC 🧐 Oh, yea ..IFI power supplies are great . Btw, I run Amazon Music HD …so how’s does it handle that 🤔🤔
@abxaudiophiles 3 ай бұрын
I think in your case, I’d stay where I’m at. I don’t think it has Amazon yet and to me the DAC is what makes it really special.
@carminedesanto6746 3 ай бұрын
@@abxaudiophilesThanks ..but I was thinking if I wanted to upgrade the streamer ..it’s a short list…same thing for the DAC ..Denafrips Venus or HaloMay. LUMIN steamer only ..if I can do the wiring (without a divorce) ..but it’s such a specific piece. I’ve got great redirect for Orchard and look forward to what the future brings.

For pure audio quality the best sigma delta chip based dac with a streamer/renderer included, nothing beats Gustard a26 under $3k. There are dacs that are better under $3K, but those are r2r ladder dacs.
@abxaudiophiles 3 ай бұрын
We have the Schuman ladder DAC ($1500) and paired it with more than a few streamers. Both Kelly and I much prefer the PecanPi+ Streamer Premium.

Yes, you just use the volume control on the app on your phone and max the volume on the Pi. 😊🫡
