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?

... I ultimately bit the bullet and paid someone to Ethernet wire the home ...

I did the same thing and think it's well worth it. It's amazing how a skilled electrician or low-voltage installer can fish wire through walls, leaving you with a nice, tidy, hard-wired solution.

When you upgrade it is nice to leave a little 'upside buffer'.  The N200 gives him this.  If he CHOOSES to upgrade the DAC one day, at least the streamer will be ready.  And to many ears, the N200 does sound better than the N150.  So leave the man alone.  Enjoy @rvpiano!

I thought that the WiFi connection was a tick sonically below the wired connection.

I had a similar experience with my secondary system via Wi-Fi with or without the extender. The degrading is ever so slight but audible.

+1 Aurender + extender. Capable of outstanding sound quality.
