While I've hardly gone out of my way to learn more about streaming digital, the reason for that is the consistently mediocre results in my experience. Really, how does one rate and build on streaming digital in musical terms?  So far, results I've heard are a "second system" level, at best. Of course, this means I am altogether unqualified to talk about the fine points and differences of streaming sound delivery, apart from what I hear, and I certainly do not have a "corresponding" understanding of the hardware and software effects here.

All the above said and considered, isn't Burson in Australia?  They are quite the darling in small studios now, and for streaming/headphone enthusiasts.

Yes, streaming is a step backwards in terms of sound quality, no question.  But that is how I get enough volume at the moment...it has to change.  In the Phasure ecosystem, streaming is a little different.  The albums are downloaded first, stored on the local drive, and then played as if it is a local file.  In this way the streamed music sounds just like the rest of your digital music collection, but it is not really streaming most people would recognise it, given the download stage.

Yes, Burson are Aus, but knowing Peter everything will be SMD or SMT so the Burson stuff will not fit.
