Thanks. I'll look into Aurender.
Need recommendations for a streamer
I would like to upgrade from a Bluesound Node to a higher quality streamer.
The Node sounds fine with my current system, but I am making a second system for my wife, and the Node is going to that new system. I thought I would take the opportunity to upgrade my streamer at this time.
My criteria are that it be a streamer only (no DAC/storage/CD player, etc), be able to hook into wi-fi/cloud without a physical wire/connection, have balanced outputs to go to my DAC, and cost less than 2,500 USD. Can anybody think of a streamer that fits this bill?
The rest of my system:
DAC: Terminator II
Preamp: Schiit Freya+
Amps: PS Audio M1200 x 2
Speakers: Thiel CS 2.3
Thanks.

"wi-fi/cloud without a physical wire/connection" Please don’t waste your money on a Aurender or any other high $$$ streamer if you cannot use a wired ethernet connection with a Wi-Fi extender powered by linear power supply. And if you’re not using ROON, you are going to miss the already excellent BLUOS app with so many cloud based streaming options. |
Just build it https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/audio-pc-4 and add a high end interface like the Pink Faun https://magnahifi.com/pink-faun-computer-audio-bridge-pcie/#reviews Depending upon where you live i don't think WiFi is that big a problem and it sure assists with system placement and the all important WAF
