Can anyone recommend a good streamer/DAC?


I have tried streaming on an Astell& Kern Kann Cube and love it. Now looking for a streamer DAC combo (or  both integrated in one box) to put on the rack with my living room system. I have read good things about the Cambridge Audio 851n and their CXN v2; $1,500 and $1,100, respectively. Also about the Bryston BDA-3.14, at $4,200. I am willing to pay for good quality sound and at the same time I worry that the technology may be moving fast enough that as with computers and HDTVs there will be a much better version available soon for a lot less money. Anybody know if Cambridge Audio or Bryston has anything new in the works for streamer/DACs? All recommendations will be much appreciated.

There’s an endless list of solutions at any given price point, and far more to choose from than Cambridge or Bryston. You need to narrow down what you’re looking for to get better advice.

Do you know your budget? Do your speakers have particular requirements of an amp? Do you need hi-rez DSD natively from a DAC?

Streaming devices are becoming more and more common, and I’d say the chance of rapid obsolescence is far less today than it was last year or any time before that. There will always be new products, though.
My amp is a Rogue Audio Sphinx (100 watt per channel class D), and speakers are KEF LS50s. I have a B&W subwoofer. Principal use of the streamer/DAC will be to play high resolution Qobuz content. I don’t need the device to be an amp or pre-amp. Budget: I hope to get something for $1,500 or so but would spend up to perhaps $4,000 for a substantially better product (that is, a more than marginal improvement in sound quality).
