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.

You are in the majors all the way with the Harbeths ,Music Ref and that room must sound amazing

 Big upside more detailed larger sound stage and haftier bass but it comes with a cost at $8000 I think it was worth the price for the sound quality and once I change to the Pandora 

I was talking to someone the other day and he said the Innuous Statement was much better then the N10 and I would hope so at twice the price

About using your dac is it enough to drive the amp with real weight

I know when Was waiting for my Pallene I used the Codex to drive the Atlas and it was not enough I not saying all dac are that way but the Codex was its a very good dac but not a pre amp

 

 

I been using my PC with Tidal and am thinking about getting a dedicated streamer. What are your thoughts on the bluesound for streaming? And would that be better than my current setup? 

@tomstruck My Audio Aero Capitole Reference DAC is actually a DAC/CDP/Line Stage Preamp all in one chassis.  I guess when I'm ready to try the Aurender N10, they'll probably be available on the used market for < $4K, which is a lot more palatable than paying $8K retail.
