New streamer needed

Thanks, makes sense! Now just need to find the right streamer model that can be tried at home in my system. And then trying to eliminate confounders...

BTW, I was the OP on one of the recent streamer posts. I ended up buying a lightly used N150 for $2K. Very happy with my decision… perfect form factor, great sound & love the conductor app, particularly through my iPad. 
I also use Qobuz. I would rank the sound of my system as follows:

1. Vinyl

2. High resolution Qobuz

3. CD

4. Lower resolution Qobuz. 

But all close. Hope this helps. 

That sounds like a good price. Which CD-Player are you using? Vinyl is also my number one.

@stievus Yes, very happy with price… when I saw it on TMR as a trade in, jumped on it immediately.
My CD player is a Marantz CD6007, attached via digital coax to my Chord Qutest, with the N150 attached via USB. Thanks. 

Whatever streamer you decide upon, make sure the user interface is easy and even fun to use. If it is a chore to work, you'll HATE it every single time you use it, and eventually you'll find yourself spinning discs instead.  If the Aurrender UI is top notch then for your money, I'd go with one of those. 

That the $299 WiiM Pro can offer a superb app while many of those selling streamers for four figures don't is telling. 

I don't think I saw what streaming service the OP uses in these posts, but if you are using Tidal, a streamer that supports Tidal Connect natively makes life simple and enjoyable. 

Many are waiting and hoping for a "Qobuz Connect" app to arrive soon - and for streamers to support it. 

Good luck.
