Been searching for weeks. All I want is a DACless (preferably) streamer under $1000can, ample connections, preferably not Chinese and an excellent UI that works. Compliments my Chord Qutest DAC, Bryston amplification and  Dynaudio speakers. I've given up on sound signature attributes other than I'm old and allergic to glare etc.

Just a simple streamer that works. I've read many times that Bluesound sonic signature is lifeless and I don't need multi-room anything and some are not fond of the UI. Wiim - Chinese plastic of questionable quality- one owner had RCA's breaking from the board. Etc etc.   Btw, I'm mostly looking at pre-owned. 

The search continues.

@ironrick6  Save you money and buy this or keep an eye on the used market. I piece I wish I kept.

DIY build of new main system small tower speakers using the highest quality efficient single drivers that are reasonably affordable….the plan is to build a 45”x10”x14” bass reflex cabinet using the Hungarian made Solido 6x9 Field Coil drivers with power supply.  Should be a fun eye (and ear) opening project in 2025!  Cheers to another great year in Audio!

I will wish it were still the summer of 2024

Wow, thank you for the suggestion. I saw the DAC a while back and it was a great deal. I'll definitely add this  to my searching. Happy New Year!
