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?

You could buy a LPS for the Cambridge and compare the two, if you like to experiment. Silver coated copper COAX sounds better than copper for me. Best of luck and enjoy.

You could buy an LPS for the Cambridge and compare the Aurender, if you like to experiment. Filter on ethernet like is another improvement.

Compared it to the same performance on Aurender. Sounded identical. Digital performance has evidently been perfected. Higher priced streamers actually sound better! Who knew! Good to know my confirmation bias works as well as yours I am going to go out on a limb and guess: As a "former" musician you played a piano?
