Combination streamer and music server…without DAC


Re. Combination streamer and music server without DAC:  There don’t seem to be too many of these out there and when I do see them, they tend to be quite pricey (Aurender N20).  I would like to use the DAC on my CD player.  I’m looking for something used, between $3K and $4K.  I suppose Lumin is an option by purchasing an L1 storage unit but I’m trying to avoid having another box.  I have about 300 to 400 cd’s.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Not a fan of the shameless promotion when we have run other people off this forum for being shills and peddlers.

He should take an ad out on this site. 

Most other dealers on this forum have the integrity to refrain from posting on threads like this. 

Personally I would never spend a dime with that outfit.

It would be nice if other dealers beside @audiotroy also posted. Seeing a discussion or civil debate between dealers might provide information that doesn't come out when only a single dealer posts.

As for the comment to soix, 

Yet, you have not posted your system. No point of reference to gauge your comments.

I've had made sense of any number of posts by soix and others without referring to their system. Why the heck would that be necessary to gauge their comments? Befuddling remark.

 

There is a "bottom feeder" aspect to this behavior- no matter the topic, this dealer will weigh in, and attempt to make a sale. If Audiogon is about monetizing opportunities, especially for those in the trade, the dealer should pay for advertising. You don't see Ralph, Duke or others shilling their products aimlessly; far from it, they weigh in with knowledge and advice, without looking to "sell" their wares. I would figure anybody who needs to do this is not the kind of dealer I'd want to do business with anyway. It is annoying behavior though.

Agreed. Nor do they contact you via private message to let you know about deals.
