It is, and some do... But it's a specialized machine and we don't necessarily recommend it. That said some customers do use it for YouTube a good bit.is the gulfstream also a computer? i mean can it be used for browsing in the internet...e-mail, watching youtube etc.?
No, it is a music server only.is the gulfstream also a computer? i mean can it be used for browsing in the internet...e-mail, watching youtube etc.?
Hi RGT911,Is there any Gulfstream owner here would like to share some highlights on this streamer???
Hey, sorry Z I misinformed you. Listen to Fred at Lampizator NA on this and not me!is the gulfstream also a computer? i mean can it be used for browsing in the internet...e-mail, watching youtube etc.?
Thank you Jbs for chiming in and sharing your positive experience with GS! I am now a proud owner of GS. Frustrated at first and busted my brain setting it up (newbie). Not to mention, some phone calls, emails and text messages with Rob and I finally get it.Hi RGT911,
I have a Gulfstream and received it in December '21 it replaced my Lampizator SuperKomputer. The SKomputer is my only other point of reference for a server and before the GulfStream I thought it was great. Currently I own a Golden Gate 2 but in few weeks or so, I will be receiving the Pacific. I felt like it was time to upgrade servers, and I am glad that I did, as I could not believe the sonic differences it made in my system! Across the board sonic improvement; more realistic, more live sounding, better bass, better everything. Also I am thrilled that it makes no sound of its own. Dead quiet! In addition, for heat dispersion Lucas uses cooling fins on one side of the chassis. This replaces the hampster wheel looking dealio like on the top of Super Komputer.
Lucas is using the Gulfstream with the new Horizon at shows which is a testament of the quality.
If you have any other questions let me know. I should have the Pacific in place by 3/15/22
Kenreau,Curious if this new Gulfstream is a combo server and streamer? internal music drive storage, any other product specifics? I've done a few searches and checked their website. Not much info to oogle with.
Thx

To echo what Rgt911 stated, my Gulfstream provided a significant upgrade as both a music server and streamer. I opted to copy my entire library to a SSD external HD and connected it directly to the GS. There is an internal HD that you can also use for storage but I needed 2TB for the library thus easier for me to go external. I then use Roon to manage my library and for streaming various "radio" stations as well as Tidal. It upsamples FLAC and equivalent to DSD512 without a hitch.Curious if this new Gulfstream is a combo server and streamer? internal music drive storage, any other product specifics?

Thanks for the post. I am encouraged by the positive comments. I am intending to attend the Pacific Audio Fest and hear the demo.To echo what Rgt911 stated, my Gulfstream provided a significant upgrade as both a music server and streamer.

Very happy with the product from the aspect of SQ and overall performance...
