Solo streamer


I’m looking to replace my Cambridge CXN v2 with a streamer that has better SQ.  I want a streamer with no extra accoutrements: no DAC, storage capacity, etc., nothing but a streamer.  Is this available?

PS Audio Air Lens or Musica Pristina A Capella 3. Both are great stand alone streamers

@rvpiano Looking at the level of your system components, I think the Aurender N150 is more fitting a streamer than the N200. While the N200 is a considerable step forward, the N150 is also a considerable step forward over the CXN V2. I’m both a Cambridge and Aurender dealer and speak from experience. 
 

Also, while the N150 can accommodate storage, it doesn’t come with any, so you’re not paying for it. 

+1, @blisshifi…best recommendation so far, but and that’s a big BUT. Is @rvpiano open to learning a new App user interface and more importantly, is he able to discern differences between streamers given a very neutral and equally sterile sounding Benchmark DAC?

 

Two I am considering that stream only (no dac) are the Auralic S1 and the Rose RS130.

oh dear.  You have a $1900 DAC - not a criticism, btw, that’s still a lot of $; 3 of my 4 DACs cost less, two of them considerably so.  So I wouldn’t think you’d want to spend $6300 or even $3500 on a streamer.  And btw, Benchmark is on record as saying that, with their DACs, streamers will not make a difference (due to their filtering and other technology).
