Recommended streamers/servers?

Up to $5,000. At present I have a SILENT ANGEL RHEIN Z1 V2 MUSIC SERVER connected to a PS Audio DS DAC via USB CABLE.

It is a compelling argument that bits are bits and either they arrive or not. I have tried streamers from $500 to $5,000 and there is a huge difference between streamers assuming you have a resolving system. Which one will work best in a particular system is an individual choice but the Auralic Aries G1 changed everything for me so it deserves to be on anyone’s list for a test. If the price seems high the results are accordingly. The Aries Femto and Mini are outstanding values in the used market. While not quite as resolving as the G1 I could happily live with either one.
