Streamer Recommendation.

There is a new set of Innuos streamers about to be launched. With your budget I’d look at the Pulsar which includes a USB reclocker and decrapifier. InnuOS Sense App is superb.

I can strongly recommend an Auralic product. I just took possession of an Altair G1 and am very impressed with its overall performance. I think the Vega G2.1 would be a great fit for your system. 

+1 @hilde45 , that’s why I’d stick to a bluos node….modify it and your network from there with a linear power supply and fiber at the nodes connection. I also agree with @blisshifi on a orbit mesh system. Best you can get right now. Good luck. 

You should check out Baetis in Canada I have had their Revolution streamer for 2 yrs now. Great product even better customer service. You deal directly with owner. 

I use his streamer with TotalDAC Dac and love the sound

Cheers

I'm in the Dinov camp, you can see my streaming system details in my house of stereo system. Another HUGE variable that no one here is talking about is what device do you want to use to control your streamer. I personally want to use exclusively my android phone since it is a perfect remote. That right there eliminates auralic immediately since they don't even have an android app. Aurender and Lumin have much worse reviews about their android apps or phones than bluos. I keep hearing they are fine with a tablet, so not for me. That leaves Innuos as a potential candidate but I am so happy with the sound of my upgraded NODE 130 setup that I see no reason to move on from it. It is so good that now I listen to streaming 80% of the time vs. vinyl and CDs and those systems of mine are of excellent quality, even way more expensive, also shown in my system. How you want to control your streamer is the most important part of deciding on a streamer and I am always dumbfounded no one talks about it. Weird, it's like everyone has an ipad...
