Thinking of taking the plunge.

You mean 2000.00 all in? Or just for the streamer?

• iPad running Spotify
• 1/8” to RCA connector.

A bit more than $1, but it will get things going.

Are you looking for a streamer that has a built in DAC, or just streaming capability?  I heard the Volumio streamer, but it was feeding a separate DAC, and it sounded quite good.  I was surprised that the streaming device sounded considerably better than the Sonos streamer, with both fed from the same source and both feeding the same DAC.   

There are lots of choices with that budget. No specific recommendations on brands/models, but I suggest for a budget that size you get a separate a DAC and streamer, versus integrated. 

I have a Wadia 26 DAC, no USB port. It is older technology but still sounds good fed by a transport. 2000.00 all in is the most I can afford
