Streamer, no DAC please?


Sorry if this topic has been beaten to a pulp...I recently upgraded the digital side of my rig, Denafrips, Pontus 15 with a Project CD Box RS2T transport...

Now I have the itch to try streaming. It pains me to invest in a high end streamer and once again pay for a DAC.

Is it possible to find a quality steamer without a DAC? Any direction is appreciated, FYI, I consider myself a luddite.

I think many missed what your budget is because it wasn’t stated in the original question. Not everyone reads every post 

I’d get the WiimPro for around $100.  The app is great.  If streaming is fun and if you feel the need for something more pricey to squeeze out that missing 2% of SQ then go for it

Thanks to all. Although I would love to find a used Lumin U2 or Aurender N200, it's too much money for an experiment in streaming.

I don't see how I can go wrong with the Wiim Pro. I think I'll give it a go.

Apologies if I offended anyone with my last post... I'll declare my budget in future original posts.

@larseand

sorry.  I deleted my post recommending a more expensive streamer than what you were looking for.  I am very sorry.  

I’d cast a vote for the PS Audio Airlens.  
I’ve seen them used on TMR for about $1,600, new they are $2,000. 
I own one now and it’s quite nice. Very good support from PS Audio too.
