based on quick look at their website, doesn’t look like Metronome does wifi, so you should make sure. But also much more limited regarding high res sample rates, both pcm and dsd; only 192k and dsd64,vs 768k dsd256 for Volumio.
New streamer needed
My streamer, 10yrs old, stopped functioning. Now I am listening to CDs again with the transport of the older Accuphase DP-67 and Merason Frerot DAC. The combination sounds great, very detailed and transparent. Now I am wondering how much money I would need to spend on a new streamer to match that sound level and which brands and models to look for. Any suggestions, possibly also from people who know the Merason and/or Accuphase? I am using Qobuz for streaming, and wireless options would be great too. Thank you.

Look into a used Auralic Aries G1. Does wifi, caching, linear power supply. Nice user interface as well. It’s slightly brighter sounding but not to a degree to become offensive. Within the right system and paired with a good dac it will be very good. https://us.auralic.com/blogs/news/aries-g1-review-by-positive-feedback
