Combination streamer and music server…without DAC

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.

I went from the Vault 2i which served me well to the Aurender N200 and love it.  It is built like a tank and support is excellent.  You can find one used at the top of your budget 

To answer the OP question: Innuos for sure. Several tiers at different price levels.

Now, for Audiotroy (Dave and Troy): the moment I saw the title of this thread, I immediately though "here is Audiotroy with his 432 EVO servers"... which is fine for me. Free speech, broken record or not.

In your budget, I would look for N100C or N10.  There are few listings for your consideration,
