I’ve just finished my journey down the same path as you’re heading now. I started with a modded Cambridge cxn v2, modded by ModWright. Excellent sound and the streaming end is absolutely seamless. I’ve never had a streaming glitch in over a year.
I decided I wanted a little different sound and now have separates. I spent more on the dac, by a lot, and decided to go with the LUMIN u2 mini as the streamer. Great unit and it will sell quickly when I upgrade in the future. Definitely keep resale in mind when purchasing. I would spend the bulk of cash on the dac. I purchased the Rockna Wavedream and it’s a tremendous difference. Hard to tell how much the LUMIN added. Anyway, you can always spend a grand or so on a good streamer. Try to find a new model since improvements are coming fast and furious in that price range.
Perhaps a Benchmark/LUMIN u2 mini would be perfect?
dac and streamer or seperates
Want to spend about 5k
System right now is a Krell S-300 love it!
B&W 804's love them too
Well treated medium sized room.
but I'm using the built in streamer and dac.
I would like to take my streaming to the next level.
At 5k would you go separate DAC and Separate Streamer or all in one?
