Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready?

Rbach, it has nothing to do with us trying hard to make or not make a sale. One of the facts in this industry are there are market leaders and products which continue to endure and set a precedent.

Wether or not you like Mcintosh, it is a classic brand, same as B&W or Kef.

Lumin was the first major streaming company. When the A1 came out it was the defacto standard for what a streaming product could be and set the standard for what most people want: a good easy to use app, the most requsted streaming sources, airplay, over the air updates, musical sound quality, a digital output. 

Today there are a ton of good choices but remember the company that got the ball rolling. 

Also we have our favorite brands just like any dealer, or consumer.

Yes Rbach we are using our super powers to convince everyone.

As per the list we have 13 out of of the list of 51 dac/streamers mentioned which is not too shabby:

We sell Naim, Nad, Lumin, Krell. Mytek, Ifi, Cary so we actually do know what most of these devices sound like 

If you consider that we used to have the Cambridge models that would have given us 15 out of 51.
