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 have that Bruckner 9 SACD and there are no issues with it in my systems.  Not my favorite performance but it sounds great 

Although I believe my Benchmark DAC is doing a great job, just out of curiosity, what other DACs would you recommend?

I’ve not compared too many DACs…but here’s the list in order of ranking:

Bricasti M3

PS Audio DirectSream Digital MkI

Chord Hugo TT2

Benchmark DAC 3 HGC

Bryston BDA-3.14

Bryston BDA-3

Chord Qutest

Mytek Brooklyn 2

The Bricasti M3 is simply a fantastic DAC. I’m making a full circle back to it now.
Others will chime in with their recommendations but if you have any questions on my experience with any of the DACs from the list above, please feel free to message me.
