Streamer question

Not so sure about others, but the Innuos Sense app gets very high marks for both usability and sound quality so maybe that’s one to look into.

You might look into the Bryston BDP 2 or 3.  I owned the 3, which sounded fantastic.  The big negative, and the reason that I got rid of it, was the lack of an app.  You have to use Bryston Manic Moose, a web based application that I hated.  However I have seen other posters mention that they have used other web based applications with the Bryston units, so it might fit your bill

The BDP-3 player is a great unit. The software is not elegant, but the OP could use Rigelian on his iPad, which is a lot more slick.

+1 for Innuos. There will be a used pulse mini plus the zen lpsu power supply at Olsen HiFi in Lynnwood WA as I upgraded to the Pulse. If interested, should be available around the 10th of December. Good luck 🍀 in your search. 

Hi @jzzmusician 

I have a Bluesound Node and added an external DAC, Denafrips Terminator II connected via USB. This DAC is more expensive than what your price point but they do have some that are lower price points.  This way you can improve the sound but keep the user interface.
