The Atoll ST300 replaces our streamer, dac, preamp ánd headphone amplifier in the reference system below. Damn, that’s a lot of components and cables left unused. Everything is attached to an Audioquest Powerquest 3 and there is a Cisco switch with Sbooster between the router and streamer. Network cables are custom made and double shielded.

Can someone please clarify Geoffrey’s comment “ You can dim the screen or even turn it off but we think that’s only necessary if you’re streaming via Nas and don’t get cover art”

What exactly does he mean?

With my ST200 you get full cover art support but the cover art must be present on the attached NAS drive.

Thank you Geoffrey, please report back or maybe update your review if possible. I have zero issues with my ST200 Signature with our attached Buffalo NAS drive and cover art.

The only issue or complaint I would have with Atoll streamers and I reported this to Atoll already is the limited support for attached USB or NAS drives when it comes to searching for artist (extremely slow).

It is highly recommend to use some type of server software like: MinimServer or Jriver to help speed things up.

Thanks again,
Brian

I think it is a best practice to use UPnPServer software like JRiver, AssetUPnP, Audirvana or MinimServer if you like to stream local content to a streamer or streamer/DAC combination. Or choose Roon if that is supported and you like its functionality.
