streamers under $1500

Piggybacking here: any recommendations with a DAC and no storage? It will feed from an existing NAS (and streaming) into a cambridge audio amp and cd player. I’ve been eyeing the cambridge audio 851N, but can’t quite tell if it’s worth the cash over a sonos or node2.

I bought a node 2 thinking it would let me try the medium, and serve as a bridge. I don’t see replacing it any time soon unless Bluesound does....

I'd say the Node 2. I went back and forth between it and the Aries Mini and chose the Node 2 for my needs.

Awesome, got one on ebay. Thank you much for the recommendation, saved me a $1,000.

The Node 2 is dandy, and use a good interconnect!
