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

I recently upgraded my streamer from Marantz 30n to Auralic Altair G2.1. I am very happy about it. 

Network card in my Bricasti M3.  Works really well.  

@ nymarty

I had been using my MacBook Pro for a number of years.

Used Audirvana via a Halide Bridge USB/SPIDF to my Dac.

Really liked the sound.

Have since upgraded the USB/SPIDF converter, Dac, and swapped my Mac for a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra.

@scthom - sorry, been out of touch for a couple of days.  To your question on the M3 vs the AM Tubadour III SE - both are great DACs.   Overall neutral presentation and musical overall, which is to say nothing in their presentation is prominent.  A coherent presentation of the music by both DACs.  Good meat on the bones - not a thin presentation or overly clinical like some DACs.  Highly resolving, good soundstage. The Bricasti has a touch faster/harder attack than the AM. Both could be considered endgame DACs by many.  I've principally used the M3 via the internal network card, and I don't really recall its sound via other inputs.  I've principally used the AM via the USB input (recommended by Vlad along with the I2S).  I use my Auralic G2 as the source for the AM.  As a DAC on its own, the AM is the better deal, and if you principally use single-ended, I would go with the AM.  The Bricasti has balanced outputs and also a decent analog volume control.  Of course, when you consider I am using a streamer more expensive than the AM, the prices of the sets of streamer and DAC are more equivalent and slightly favors the Bricasti.  Both are great DACs and I feel no need to upgrade.

If you are going to use Roon and is somewhat used to computers you can buy an Intel NUC and install Roon Rock. I have not tried it buy a lot of people says it sounds great. If you are not gonna use Roon then a Windows computer with some remote access app might work great. This should be cheaper that a special streamer.
