Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files

Nope, ifi zs does not support BT and that is why I am asking the question. And I can tell you why I am asking the question BECAUSE the ZS’s wi-fi suddenly quits on me. The plug-in internet is still working but wi-fi connection is DEAD. In 8 months! What a reliable product from British company?

Now, with Intel NUC 10, are you talking about a dedicated mini PC for music listening with i7 core, 2 usb connections (USB 2/3), type C port, ethernet port, HDMI and BT connection? How many GB of ram? OTHER THAN ROON, what software can I use to control software for music playing thru BT on cell phone? How is the SQ? I just switched from PC/Mac to streamer 8 months ago and it will be hard pressed for me to go back (although being a dedicated PC) if SQ is not good.

The NUC runs Roon Rock, which interfaces via Ethernet to the streamer and is controlled by the Roon software running on a computer, phone, or notebook.  

any if the sequential model Bryston BDP series digital players.
You can play the digital files just with the proprietary BRYSTON remote sold separately.

Thanks and I figure that is similar to the USB port housed in some CD players that can be hooked with memory stick or storage for playing digital files sequentially. To that end, I think FiiO R7 provides a better music streaming / playback experience thru its own FiiO Music app in the "Pure Music" mode, which does not rely on active wi-fi, internet or bluetooth. The optional remote can be purchase to remotely control the music playing showing on the screen. The price point is attractive too as $700. Nevertheless, the sound quality is not as good as Node Bluesound UNLESS you use the balanced output, according to Darko. Well, for the time being, let me stick to the defective Ifi ZS for a little while longer and wait for the next revolutional gear to come up.
