Both devices are network players which functionalities are similar : DLNA network players, high quality streaming services on-board, Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections. Their electronics and power supplies are different, and Le Streamer can be considered as more performant than DSS 2.

Le Streamer integrates several digital outputs : S/PDIF, AES EBU, and I²S via HDMI, which makes it compatible with all converters. But the perfect pairing will be with Le DAC 2 !

The choice will be depending on the level of your audio system, since the performances of the 2 devices are so close that only a good level system will be able to reaveal the differences. In absolute, the separate box and high electronic level of Le Streamer will give much better results.
