Interesting indeed.

Best budget streamer on the market now?
I know there have been lots of threads around this subject but the market moves forward very quickly on this tech so....
Using Google Chromecast Audio right now for my two older systems and while I do not have a problem with the units themselves the control app, BubbleupNp leaves something to be desired constantly crashing on my android phone.
Now maybe someone knows of a better more stable app for starters?
Failing that all I need is the ability to connect wirelessly to my home network ( has to be able to connect to Qobuz!) and be able to send an analog out signal via stereo rca ( my older system integrateds do not have any other options).
No other features required.
Thank you.

Not nearly the cheapest, but very well featured for the cost is the miniDSP https://www.minidsp.com/products/streaming-hd-series/shd-studio $900 - Still a lot cheaper than other systems, with both Android and iPhone support. |
Keep the Chromecast and add one of those Topping or SMSL DACS. Well within 200 $ and the result will be better than any 300 streamer like Node IMHO. Chromecast is very stable with QOBUZ, I use it everyday without a glitch. If you want to play your own files Google Music is an option. The UI is not particularly inspiring but it is super stable. The only drawback is that you are adding one more box . . .My 2c. |
It is not Chromecast being stable with Qobuz that is my main complaint here but the fact that BubbleupNp is the culprit as it constantly crashes on my phone. As far as I am aware there is no other app to use with Chromecast that allows access to Qobuz. Google play music is fine if you like playlists and low rez which I do not. |
