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.

Pretty happy with my Cary DMS-600.  I use it direct to my Pass Labs amps and it sounds very dynamic, musical yet still great detail.  It replaced a PS Audio BHK Pre with Telefunken tubes and Luxman DA-06 DAC combo.  Sound no comparison, but I do think the PS Audio was the limiting factor for me.  I also tried an Aries G1 to replace the streamer portion of the Cary.  Cary was so much more dynamic and live sounding.
I bought a "factory refurbed" CXNv2 on Cambridge outlet on Ebay. just over $500.. Now , it doesnt appear to be anything but new as far as I have noticed and there have been no issues with it whatsoever. I really don’t know how it would compare to a Metrum DAC I had and sold to ultilize the Cambridge for DAC duties with an old school PS Audio Lambda transport.
As far as streaming music no issues what so ever. Although I do not subscribe at this point to any pay for music sites. I am an FM junkie for years and had preferred my high end vintage tuners but moved out of the area that had some of the best FM stations in the country (which are really hard to come by at least for my taste) So , the world ’s FM is available . I like the CXN as it also shows the bit rate  as well as track playing even from just fm station at least on some that I listen to.   The bit rate seems to give  some indication of station quality although not always. I have had a few others and not at all worthwhile for a few hundred dollars less (they were primarily internet tuners although likely would stream from a HD..

but at some point I am going to try and compare it to an original Burson HD 160 (dac only) I have . I do notice at times if I am playing videos on my Macbook and streaming the audio that the audio sync may be off at times but likely that is certainly not the issue with the streamer as I’m talking about an 8 yr old Macbook not to mention streaming audio from u tube vids doesnt exactly count as even entry high end architecture. Or, I was just playing the other day on my Mac a Yakuza flic with subtitles and was not exactly sync’ed up. Doubt that is the streamer. Older technology abides in the Mac .
Ditto on Blusound Node 2     You can find a pretty good deal on the version 2 vs 2i of this product, and as i understand it, the 2i advantage was a better dac only, so i using outboard dac no real advantage.

They are cheap enough to try and you can get back 80% of your purchase price if you don't like it or want to upgrade later.

I had Sonos boxes and updated to a Node 2i. It works well..once you get your music library organized for consistency. That was the longest part as I have 7000+ cuts.
