Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp

+1, @oddiofyl

Buy a streamer that offers best possible UI (user interface) app and support. My recommendation would be Innuos or Aurender. And build quality of a streamer is just as important as their proprietary app as this would net in best possible SQ. 

I love my Aurender.   Their support is great and it’s built like a tank.   I have used Innuos several times and I thought it was a nice product.   

I think Bluesound is great, and I think the mistake people make is that lateral move.  Maybe you think the replacement hardware is better but in a lot of cases the UI is bad or even worse support is bad 

That’s why people spending $2k on an Eversolo is nuts to me when you can buy an Innuos or used Aurender for around the same or a little more.   Or less if you got an Innuos Mini

I have Maggie 3.1 and i want to echo comment about "please, no subs" .  I have a very large room that needed additional Bass.  I use 2 bass panels.  They match the Maggies quickness and add warmth in the lower musical ranges without the boom and muddy effect.  no they don't shake the floor. if that's what you want then yes add the subs.  I also agree with the comment that: unfortunately the most important consideration of a streamer is a good app to run it.  My Matrix Audio Element-i has been rock solid, but the Matric Audio Player to run from my I-pad has been a PITA.  They are on their Third Version Update.  They maybe improve one item and screw up three others.  I spent 30 minutes finding how to get onto my Tidal account which was hidden behind a screen and then another 30 minutes to find my playlist which they buried in the least likley of places.  

Streamers don’t have a sound and I agree software would be the focus.  I would include Roon ready as a requirement because you may want that option at some point.

REL subs are fast enough to keep with Maggies.  If you use DWM bass panels keep the volume low on those…
