Solo streamer

Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.  You could buy an LPS for the Cambridge and compare the Aurender, if you like to experiment. Filter on ethernet like is another improvement. 

@rvpiano Great thread!

....btw, I played an LP of a Haydn symphony that I know sounds wonderful.  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? 

I skeptically tried Paul McGowan’s AirLens because of the no hassle return policy. I absolutely love it.  $2000

Yes, I was a pianist.

@audphile1 Which DAC did you get?
 

I sold my Bricasti M3. Tried PS Audio DSD MkI, now taking a Chord Hugo TT2 for a test drive. My gut feeling is I am making a full circle back to Bricasti just need to figure out which model.
