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.

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,

Honestly it is a turn off....  Although other folks in the biz contribute and I find them knowledgeable and very diplomatic about over stepping boundaries.
