Digital upgrade: new disc player or better streamer?

However, I find that I do enjoy streaming, not only for convenience but also to discover new music.

BINGO!!! Truth be told, I rarely listen to my own music anymore. In fact, as I type this I’m listening to “Court and Spark” live by Herbie Hancock with Norah Jones that I’d likely never have heard if not for my Qobuz subscription.

Anyway, IME it’s well worth investing more in your digital setup to be able to more fully enjoy the wonderful music discovery thing. If I’m you, I’d get an Innuos Zen Mk3 server/streamer and pair it up with a nice R2R DAC like a Musician Aquarius (or similar) that’s actually on sale right now from the distributor and for a little north of $5k you’re in a whole new realm of CD-quality and hi-res music.

Obviously it’ll still sound different from your analog rig, but you may miss it a lot less as R2R DACs tend to have more of that liquidity and naturalness you get from vinyl. You can load all your CDs easily into the Innuos with its onboard disc drive and you’ll have access to all your music along with streamed music from the same high-quality source. Just one possible idea FWIW, but definitely up your streaming/digital game! You’ll kick yourself for not doing it much sooner — I sure did. Best of luck.

@bobbydd ,

With a similar situation(80 vinyl / 20%dig) and a decent but not great digital setup including.Oppo 105, I faced the same decision. After tons of research and with a bias towards the best sound I can afford, my path and thinking:
- Agree best DAC you can afford (for me Denafrips Pontus II)
- Rip Discs to NAS (for me Synology...Qnap also great)
- Sonore streamer/renderer -- a good linear power supply is required (for me: microRendu on a budget, later upgraded to opticalRendu)
- Separate device to run Roon Core (for me Small Green Computer Sonic transporter...or build a NUC or buy a fancy Roon Nucleus) 
- Subscribe to Roon (add Qobuz  over Tidal if you like)
- Use any device you like as remote(Macbook, ipad, iphone, Android) 

Benefits/reasoning that applied for me:
- expandable storage in NAS (e.g. Western Digital Red drives) for my large live recording colleciton with easy backup protections not requiring cloud backup
- Roon UX is a game changer IMHO, 50x more fun & ease vs. other apps
- Optical benefits on renderer were significantly impactful
- The Denafrips DAC punches high at its price and in non-oversampling mode sounds more like analog than most digital gear IMHO
- While assembling/configuring a NUC is easy according to many, I didn't have the time or inclination, and Small Green Computer's device gave me plug-n-play setup and a track record of synergy with Sonore products (which they also sell). Checkout SGC youtube for simple short setup & system building examples. 
- I like having my server and Roon core hard wired ethernet in the room where internet comes into my house. The digital devices on my audio rack are small and tidy with ethernet carrying the digital signal into the listening space.
Hope this helps...Cheers,

Yeah get a good DAC first. I did similar journey. DAC first. Then upgraded my Sonos Connect toWyred4Sound Mods for a nice little SQ bump. Then found a used Bryston BDP pi to replace the Sonos. I am a big fan of separates as there are so many configuration options now and they just keep getting better. It’s like a big boy toy box.

I recently added Roon to the mix.  Looking at the Optical Rendu path as well but gotta replace the DAC to get DSD first.

@bobbydd,

In my opinion, 50 odd SACD’s doesn’t quite warrant a new SACD player and most of your CD collection is probably available on Streaming. I would invest $4K in a better streamer / DAC like Lumin and find a way to rip your entire collection. That’s what I did and now I enjoy my rare collection of SACD / CD’s more than ever due to easy accessibility along with streaming via Qobuz. 

Since I have no desire to stream or pay for any service, I bought a nice Esoteric SACD player and play the discs I have bought over the last 35 years.  I have a Sony music player also t o which I ripped about half my CD’s for when I am feeling lazy and not wanting to get up to change discs.  The only drawback to that is I never listen to the entire disk as I have too much music at my fingertips so I play a song here or there.
