Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary

+1 for the BDP-3.  I have the Pi version and it sound great.  The 3 unit has been discontinued but the support is still good.  Solid Build quality.  The interface is certainly outdated but it works.  Web interface is cool in that you dont have to install an app.     The radio paradise SQ is outstanding. 

Not to change the subject but how would an Auralic Aries Mini hold up these days? They seem pretty cheap on the used market? Too old?

+1 for the Moon Mind 2

AURENDER.   

Which Aurender?
