Streamer question


Currently looking for streamer undecided.
Looking at Lucas Audio Lab Mini
Or Musica Pristina Cappella
Both are custom made by all boutique builders.
Both in the 3k to 4k USD
 mark.
Anyone have any experience with either of them
Thanks

“i would be reluctant to rely on small makers to forever keep up to date on the ever changing streaming world and have their user interface and operating software fully up to snuff.”


@jjss49 makes an excellent point. I would look at offerings from Aurender or Lumin. Even a Node paired with an external DAC gives you much more robust platform and SQ to stream music from vast variety of streaming services.
what @ jjss49 said.  Even Bryston a respected hardware supplier of streaming devices , IMO, struggles with the software side of their streaming devices.  Having said that their streaming  devices sound great.  On the flips side look a Sonos; midfi hardware at best but have captured a large segment of the streaming market by focusing a producing superior software.
I recommend a Raspberry Pi. It's what I use in my system with my Benchmark DAC3. Sounds great!
