well, you know where I stand on high priced gear…
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
