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?

Yeah,it was stupid to buy the best sounding player i have ever owned or even used for that matter.   

It sounds better than my streamer with most content, true high resolution material,  no but with most of what is available on streaming platforms it is superior. 

 

 

Becoming very underwhelmed with the Shunyata USB cable. For the money spent I would have expected at least some improvement. None apparent. Any suggestions for another one?  
I think my previous praise was confirmation bias.

Re-suggesting the Wireworld Platinum USB. OCC silver and a unique design. Several options out there in the used world. 

@rvpiano one of the best USB cables I have tried is Audience StudioOne. Another is AudioQuest Diamond. 
Audience is fuller sounding, has more body and weight while retaining clarity and details. Soundstage is wide and deep. 
AQ Diamond is slightly leaner, faster sounding cable but still maintains natural tone. 
In your system with Benchmark DAC, I would highly recommend the Audience. I used it with DAC 3. I’m using the AQ Diamond now and recently compared it to Audience once again. I’m pretty sure you will not be underwhelmed with the Audience USB. It throws a massive stage that’s really stunning with large scale classical.
