Solo streamer


I’m looking to replace my Cambridge CXN v2 with a streamer that has better SQ.  I want a streamer with no extra accoutrements: no DAC, storage capacity, etc., nothing but a streamer.  Is this available?

Do different WiFi extenders sound different? Anyone try more than one?

Thanks,

Although I’m now really liking my current streamer, I have nothing to lose in trying the Aurender so I probably will let the sale go through.

@mdalton Interesting to hear that the HiFi News & RR lab reports show that the Pro-ject streamer has very low levels of jitter and other noise.

@aldnorab I've only tried one Wi-Fi extender, but the improvement it made over using the streamer's built-in Wi-Fi was immediately obvious.

One way to improve your current digital source is my removing noise from your system. I got an Audioquest Niagara 1200 power conditioner. It's been useful in unlocking more clarity and resolution.

I also needed a no-nonsense high end streamer with wifi connectivity and bought a Métronome DSS. It is from a french company. Less known, especially in the US, but sounds great and looks good too.

  I used a company that networks small offices for Ethernet wiring.  An electrician can do it but there are so many companies that do this for IT and are less expensive.
