Streamers under $1500

Any good streamers advice? I currently use Sonos Connect modded by Wyred4Sound. I am looking for better sound quality and good software like Sonos.

I was looking at the PS Audio Airlense when it was on sale, has anyone heard this one?

It’s functional but even a cheap streamer sounds much better.

It costs $1999 with the internal power supply and $2999 with the external power supply. I would go for the 1999 one. The power supply made no difference in my 2 Sonore OpticalRendu’s.

I just found out Sonos products do not work with T-Mobile LTE routers. This is why I was experiencing audio dropouts. Only choice now is to change Sonos, or router.
