In Reply to: New streamer from Accustic Arts posted by Sordidman on October 2, 2014 at 09:53:59:
It looks like they're using a StreamUnlimited Stream700 board & software with the optional TFT display and Accustic Arts branding on the StreamUnlimited apps. Accustic Arts has provided the casework, power supply and DAC board. Just like nearly every other manufacturer who has introduced a streamer lately.
Aside from Linn and Lumin, I can't think of a single streamer that isn't based on an OEM board + apps from StreamUnlimited or Audivo, and both of those use the same BridgeCo network media processor on a chip and software stack. So these are all pretty much the same feature-wise, differing mainly by what generation/revision of the BridgeCo chip & software they're using.
I believe that is why you don't see more high end companies offering network streaming players with digital outputs only. Without the DAC section, there wouldn't be enough to differentiate one product from another and it would become a race to the lowest price point.
