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.
