Streamer with AES3 Out and no DAC

Auralic's G1 has an MSRP of $2700, and Matrix Audio's Mini-I is relatively inexpensive (I'm not sure of the current price).

The Leedh volume algorithm is excellent and a significant improvement over the previous Lumin volume algorithm.

Sonnet (new brand from founder of Metrum) Hermes, but also uses apps for remote control. The Lumin Leedh voume control seems unique for streamer only devices.

There’s also the Soundaware D300; less of a known entity - distributed by the Denafripps distributor.

And the Simaudio Mind 2; with remote control!

Thanks for the suggestions the Mind 2 looks interesting. I looked at the Matrix site and none of them had AES3 out, they had balanced out. 

Oops, my bad on the Matrix Audio. I got input confused with output. Sorry.

That’s alright I wish they did the Matrix were nice looking units. It looks like it’s down to Cocktail and Simaudio which have remotes and Lumin which has a great interface. I read the Simaudio moon app is terrible. The Cocktail you use a browser to control. Like usual nothing perfectly ticks all the boxes. The main thing is AES3 out and good volume control and app.
