For those that have separate Streamers & DACS

What are some of your favorite streamers/servers strictly from a sound quality perspective?  Please assume a stand-alone DAC.  I've read such a variety of opinions on streamers and was interested in opinions from those that have tried different streamers on with their DACs.

@verdantaudio If I'm looking at a streaming solution under $4K, what are the differences between the Bricasti M5 and the Antipodes S30?  Pluses and minuses with either?

@badgerdms System is Fleetwood Deville's, Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3 and McGary SA1E

 

that sounds a lot like Dr.Vinyl’s old system…he had that same setup last year

Streaming dacs are also good way to go, less complexity,  greater assurance dac/rendering interface optimized ...

I'm not sure how true that is. We'd all be using receivers if we followed that logic.

Several of the audiophiles I know with the long experience run fanless NUCs with separate LPS. The DAC associated in one system is a Holo May.
