How much difference does a music streamer really make?

Over the last couple of decades, streaming has transformed the way many of us discover and enjoy music. With access to millions of albums at our fingertips and an ever-growing choice of high-resolution music services, it's never been easier to explore new artists or revisit old favourites.

Yet, while streaming has become commonplace, the hardware used to deliver that music varies enormously in both price and performance. At this event, we'll be comparing four popular streamers, ranging from an affordable entry-level model to a premium, high-performance design, all within the same hi-fi system.

Throughout the session, we'll listen to a carefully selected playlist and explore how each streamer presents the music. Is there a difference? If so, where does that difference come from? And perhaps most importantly, what matters most to your ears?

There will be two sessions on each event day: 11:00-13:00 and 14:00-16:00.

This isn't about proving that streaming is better than CDs, records or any other source. Every music format has its own strengths and appeal. Instead, our aim is to provide a friendly, informative environment where you can experience modern streaming for yourself and learn more about the options available.

Whether you're taking your first steps into streaming, looking to upgrade an existing player or simply enjoying an afternoon listening to great music with like-minded people, we'd love to see you there.



After all, when it comes to streaming, sometimes hearing really is believing.
