There are a couple I looked that are just streamers ie: Network players and are very good. Lumin is excellent, Innuos more for usb DACs, and Esoteric which I ended up buying. All are excellent upgrades to the bluesound node. Incredible steps up I might add. On the budget side, the Lumin u2 is their new budget streamer, the older model u1 can be picked up even cheaper. The Innuos Pulse is also an excellent choice and their budget streamer. Esoteric is not really budget but a fantastic player. Hope this helps. If you’re interested in Innuos I have a friend in Minnesota who is a dealer. Good luck. |
As a streamer only I would recommend the Martin Logan Unison. It has ARC room correction which works great and is on sale at 50% off: https://www.martinlogan.com/en/product/unison

Aurrender. I own two after experimenting with others for years (you can see them in my virtual systems). The higher level one you buy the better the sound quality. Aurrender only makes streamers and they are among the best, if not the best at various levels. I only listen to Qobuz… although I store my old ripped files on it for the very infrequent internet interruption. |
OK, if not downloading music what features do you want? I use the Zidoo Z10 Pro as a media server and it works great: https://www.zidoo.tv/Product/index/model/Z10+PRO/target/7ogeLPHKQt1KKmVViAFMcQ%3D%3D.html |
