What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.

Wondering what improvements I can made to my streaming end and what you all are using.

Not looking to rip CDs and I mostly listen to vinyl.

System right now is:

Node 2 (latest version used streaming only with Roon)

Bel Canto e.One ref DAC 2.7

Bel Canto e.One ref CD3t Transport.

Bel Canto e.One ref 501S (best Class D to date to ever grace my system)

Mini GaN 5 ( had to try it and swap it in and out)

AM Qualiton X200 Tube Integrated (love it and gets most use)

QLN Prestige 5 Speakers.

All cables and wires are Signal Cable.

Appreciate the constructive feedback.

Have a great day.

@lordmelton My RSV4 is faster than my Panigale or my R1.

Yet Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda win all the championships. 

Aurender is on the list.

Just bought an iFi Zen Stream. Just a streamer, and goes directly into my Denafrips DAC.

Really like it, read how it was much better than the Bluesound node 2i as a streamer, so jumped on it. Also have my external hard drive attached to the Zen Stream as my ripped CD server.

By the way, I’ve heard really good things about QLN speakers. A friend owns QLN 3’s and thinks they are amazing. I bet the 5s are in a different league. I wish I could audition them but no local dealers near me.

They are special for sure went from the Sonora to the 5's.

The Sonora's ended up at the youngest son's house.

Looking at the P-1's for a bedroom system

In my main system I have a Roon Nucleus for the streamer and an Aqua La Voce DAC.  I have a TEAC NT-505 in two other systems.  It's in your price range.
