Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp

I've got an Ayre QB-9 Twenty DAC I'm selling.  Add a decent streamer and you will outperform lots of much higher priced setups.

The Gustard R26 dac has a built-in renderer/streamer that you can use with software like Audivarna.  It's around $1600.  You could also pair it with a Node for a little more than 2K.  Personally, I think the built in renderer sounds a little better.

I eventually upgraded my streamer to an Innuous Zen Mk3, but I'm still using the Gustard dac (with a U18 ddc and LYH ock-2 clock)..

Thanks so much for the recommendations and knowledge 

Just got a Naim NAC N272 on a trade. Running it into a Pass XA30.5. It’s very very good IMO. Just being phased out but has been a 6k model since 2016. Can pick one up for $1500 or so now used. Steal for that price.

Have you already purchased the Eversolo? If not, I would seriously consider purchasing an Aurender, Innous or Lumin Streamer/DAC instead. I have heard some disturbing comments about the firmware upgrades and customer support that you should look into.

I would at least read some of the Eversolo articles on this site. I was considering the Eversolo and asked for feedback myself.

I ended up going with Aurender.
