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?

lol!  and if you don’t hear a difference, you’ll be accused of having inadequate hearing, an insufficiently resolving system, or both.  Good luck!

Mdalton - a sound decision is made by an individual based on feedback from others who have experience with the item in question, research conducted and the available budget. Your help is appreciated. But all you’re providing is simply an opinion. No one is obligated to follow your direction.

Surprise!  Am gonna have to disagree with respect to the soundness of the decision.  You - and others - are applauding the OP for spending more on his streamer than he has spent on any other component in his system, indeed more than the total of his DAC, amp and preamp combined.  I know you personally feel validated because he chose the same piece of gear that you own, but in what alternate universe, given his system, is that a sound decision?  

Don't get me wrong, I love his stuff, it’s a cool system.  But even if I believe a $10k speaker cable sounded better than a $1000 cable, I would never advise another member to make that purchase if he had a $10k (or $20k or $30k) system.  That would not be a sound decision.  And I certainly wouldn’t applaud him if he went ahead and did it anyway.  Your help is appreciated. But all you’re doing is providing an opinion.

 

The proposition that you judge something solely by its cost is questionable at best. Probably by that logic I should have bought the N150. I’m assured by someone whose opinion I respect, that I will hear a significant difference between the streamers, even on my meager set.

@rvpiano, the Moon (Simaudio) MiND 2 I simply a steamer (no DAC etc). I'd recommend it very highly indeed.
