Streamer Recommendation.


Budget 7000US$.  (+/-)

System: Amplification: Luxman L 509X.  Speakers: Joseph Audio Perspective.  DAC:  PS Audio Perfect Wave.  CD/SACD PS Audio Perfect Wave.  Streamer:  BlueSound Node 2.I

I am limited to WiFi, due to my router location.   I would like a high quality streamer without DAC that will provide a noticeable improvement over the entry level Node.

Any assistance would be very helpful.

I’d second the Innuos Zen Mk3 as, if you’re like me you can also rip whatever prized CDs you have that aren’t available to stream directly into it and have all your music available in whatever order from your chair.  With the $$$ leftover in your budget I’d invest in a DDC like the Denafrips Hermes, Gaia, etc. and run an i2S connection from that to your DAC as it has those HDMI inputs.  Just another option, and best of luck. 

You can easily rip cds with a $30-$40 drive and any computer. No need to pay a premium by purchasing an audio with a built in drive.

Having PS Audio stuff I hope you are aware that Paul likes Innous until he gets his own done.
