IFI Audio NEO STREAM - Blind Listening test & FULL REVIEW!

Includes blind listening test and more! Meet the Ifi audio NEO STREAM! It is a super compact audiophile streaming DAC with tons of features! High End AV consultant Morten Stjernholm set out to find out if it is worth the money. This Review we do a blind listening comparison test where we sample 5-6 DACs. Morten is joined by Sound Engineer buddy Tim Harris to find out how the IFI Audio Neo Stream (we soon dub "Little Cricket") compare to more expensive offerings. Morten look at, - AND naturally complain about software, features and functionality, and end up in a philosophical conversation with Tim Harris about DACs and much more. This review plays with the format a bit.
