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.

one question is how do you feed your dac spdif or usb?

 

your  dac can run ayncronous which means usb

 

also a better streamer makes a very  audibile change

Since you’re mostly Bel Canto I’m going to recommend the e.One Stream. I’ve got one paired with a W4S DAC and couldn’t be happier. Head and shoulders above the Node.

At $3k and below it's really hard to beat the Innuos Zen-Mini+LPSU. It sounds wonderful and has both digital and analog outputs and rips/stores aswell.  A really good place to start then add on an external dac.
