I recommend looking at Aurender… I had a Auralic Aries G2 and my Aurenders are much better. Aurender makes streamers at many price points. Streamers make a huge difference! I have experience with streamers from $200 (PC, as well as separates) to $22,000. Also, actually Linn makes a good high end streamer. I now own a Aurender W20SE… and what at first looked like an exorbitant amount of money ($22K), instantly sounded like a cost effective deal when I heard it in my system.
