That Evo looks like an off the shelf PC so that alone is a hard pass for me.
Updating my streamer
I am looking to update my steamer from Bluesound Node - I am very happy with the sound my turntable and my analog set up and would like to update my digital sound. I do not have a stand alone DAC so any streamer will need a built in one due to space constraints.
Current system:
PrimaLuna Evo 300 integrated amp (currently using KT120 tubes)
Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers
So far have looked at the Aurender A200 and HiFi Rose units.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

@bortonj IMO going with the best possible DAC that has a built in network card and is Roon ready is probably a better approach than going with a streamer that has a built in DAC. Look into Bricasti M3 with network card. You can use Roon or Mconnect (free app). Roon sounds better though. |
I’ll throw the Lumin D2 with the SBooster out there as a solid option. I love mine and haven’t looked else where yet. I have a smaller listening room and consider my amplification top notch. Sound is full without harshness and the best I’ve heard digital sound. With that said I am not after making my digital sound like analog. That’s what my turntable is for. With my Lumin it delivers fantastic music that never feels forced or overly done. |
Like you I just added streaming capabilities to my vinyl 2-channel system. I highly recommend Innuos. I got the Zen Mini Mk3 which is the entry point into their product line. Built in DAC to get me going. Fabulous transport to connect to a better DAC somewhere down the road if I choose. Sense app fully functional and FREE. I am currently evaluating free demos of Tidal, Qobuz and Roon. |
