A quick question on what streamers to consider.......

OP

You never answered some of the questions posed to you, such as do you have outdoor speakers? And amplifier?  It is difficult for @laps and others to advise you how to spend your money when the information is incomplete 

Curious why some posters advising to use the streamer app for playback?

I have just always used tidal and selected the streamer as output source. So easy. Why would I go into the streamer app?

I use an Audiolab 700n. Seems to do the job. Would love to audition an Aurender side by side. 

Look at the American made company, Cary Audio DMS650.  I have a DMS800PV and use to have the DMS600.  The only issue if you call it an issue is that it does have a built in DAC and Clock.  You can bypass that if you like to use your own DAC.  Incredible app and amazing sound.  Hard to beat and dead quiet.  Give them a call.  They are in Cary North Carolina. You can use Roon or just use their app. I’ve owned their streamers since 2017.

…..,thank you Mahler and you are right but did not see the question of ; do I have outdoor speakers as germane to my post . I have my system in my living room buy as I noted I can listen to it from my outdoor  dec. I hope that helps and just want to keep it simple as possible 

I recently purchased the Lumin U2, been blown away by how good my system sounds now.  Check it out, has body and detail, nice balance
