Which Streamer/Dac


Has anybody compared the Simaudio 280d to the Innous Mini MK3. 

Hi, I'm a newbie but read this forum everyday and find it very informative. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Thank you.

What is the rest of your equipment? This is necessary and it would be really helpful to see your system. There is a place under your ID to create your virtual system. 
 

My rule of thumb is that the streamer and the DAC should be at the same investment level as your preamp and amp. If you are building a system over time then separates make much more sense than combo units. 

My system consists of:

Audio Research Ls2 Mk2 B preamp, 2 Adcom GFA 555 amplifiers, Monitor Audio Studio speakers, 2 10" non powered subs, Apple Mac Pro computer, Rolls SX95 crossover,  and  Sony 200 disc CD player. At this point in my journey I am looking for a streamer/dac to replace computer. I will eventually replace speakers and amplifiers as my budget allows.
