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?

There IS a big difference between the coax and the USB.

Thanks for the tip!

WOW!

I had the similar situation upgraded my Cambridge 851N streamer with DAC 

With just a streamer no DAC  a Aurender W20 SE  ( USED).

That made a big difference!

I’m beginning to think the exorbitant price is worth it.

RV…you got it!

Even the airplay sound quality should improve.
keep cooking it…you should be set in about 200hrs just run USB to make sure it all settles, streamer and DAC that you haven’t used with USB (my assumption).

As to exorbitant price…yes the N200 is not cheap. But the build quality, components they used to build it and finally the sound quality it produces, I’m with you…I think it’s worth it.
