I’d keep everything separate. If it’s in budget, I’d recommend the Innuos Zen Mk3 as it’s a streamer but you can also load all your CDs into it so no need for a transport and you have access to all your music from your chair in any order or playlist you wish. A transport seems kinda silly with what’s available today. Then choose a DAC that meets with your sound requirements. Read the review of the new Gustard R26 on soundnews.net that you may find interesting, then in the future you can add a DDC so you can make use of the Gustard’s i2S connection. Hope this helps, and best of luck.
Looking for advice
I’m looking at adding a streamer, Dac, and possibly a transport to utilize with an older integrated - Krell 400xi. I’m looking at starting with the bluesound node and a Cambridge audio transport. My speakers are Totem model 1 Signatures, with a Rel B1 sub. When I have more cash, looking to upgrade and get the Chord Qutest dac. Is this a good use of $$’s or am I better off getting a used Naim Uniti Atom and go with one box, plus a transport or eventually the Unitcore?
