What is your favorite budget streamer?

Innuos  mini pulse streamer , with LPS power supply option 

up to 2-3T SS drive internally and very good app.

Wiim or ifi

Used Bluesound Node 130 (I currently own), or the new Bluesound Nano.....though I don't have any experience with it.

I really do not think anything ~$1000 can beat Holo Audio Red. If one is willing to spend extra money on high performance cables and fuse, Red can perform way above based on my experience. 

I was setting up a budget system in one of my bedrooms to utilize a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 10's that I bought new in 1988 and a Reisong A10 EL34 Integrated Amp I bought in 2020.  I was only doing streaming, and after some research I went with the Audioengine B1 Streamer for $189.00 and a Schiit Audio Modi+ DAC for $129.00.  I have been absolutely thrilled with the ease of use and performance of both items.  These together are under your budget, and since you don't need a DAC the Audioengine B1 would be well under your budget.  Hope this was helpful.
