Test setup and samples
Contents
We tested the streamers in various scenarios. We put the Emerson Analog next to a Bluesound Node2 and tested the digital Emerson Digital next to our Ambre. We also played with other power supplies and played via fiber to see what kind of influence it has. Samples can be found in the video below and can be downloaded in wav.
The test setup consists of:
- Pass Labs XP12 preamplifier
- Bryston 4B SST3 power amplifier
- Metrum Acoustics Pavane converter
- Focal Sopra No1 speakers
- Cabling from Art Speak, Grimm and Audioquest
- Custom Roon server (AMD Ryzen3, 16GB ram, SSD)
- Meraki 220 switch / Delock optical converter (for test via fiber)
