Favorite mid-tier streamer

Geshelli Labs Dayzee.

Magna HiFi,  Mano ultra MKIII with separate Farad power supply…just glorious…

‘from the Netherlands…

Same boat.Still looking.  I read good things here on AGon about the INFIGO but it blows the OP's budget.

I don't need Roon.  I stream Qobuz almost exclusively with some Amazon HD for tracks NA on Qobuz.

some contenders I've used with great results

node with external power supply

forthcoming node icon (guessing on this one however they offer 30 day returns and I would get an aftermarket figure 8 power cord)

Holo Audio Red

Lumin u2 mini

Lumin u2 mini with power supply

Auralic altair 2,1

Pro-ject Stream Box S2 Ultra sounds pretty good. I haven't heard too many other streamers, but it didn't sound any different than a Naim NDX 2. Pro-ject + a Denafrips Pontus II DAC sounded better than a dCS Bartok network player.
