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.

Thanks, the Auralic G1 looks interesting and on the used market affordable. You say it's at the bright side. I guess my Merason Frerot dac can handle that. But does it also have an Android app?

You know that’s a good point. When i had it I don’t think they offered android version. Worth checking it out though. It’s been few years without Auralic for me and I can’t tell you for sure.

“on the bright side”!?  Please explain to me how a streamer contributes to tone.  That’s just silly talk.
