How important is an LCD screen on your streamer?
Not important to me my Auralic Aries has a screen but I have it set to off it just comes on for a few seconds when the track changes. It's too far away for me to see clearly anyway though it does look nice.

Help identifying mystery amp
Based on the pinout of the power tubes looks like a triode of some sort 300B or 2a3 possibly. And Don Allen and Dale Pitcher are total underground legends I bet that gear sounds amazing.  
Connecting to my Gill Elise DAC
Looking at a photo of an Elise Dac the middle input looks like it's BNC you can get BNC adapters for RCA cables if that is what you are using.

Replace Auraliti
Auralic is my choice of streamer and they can read local files just fine either LAN or a connected drive. Lots of used Aries models out there.  
Anyone heard from Charles1dad ?
Guys I posted on his virtual system because I had the same thought and Charles responded saying he basically didn't have much to say about audio he hadn't said already and so many topics here are recycled so he's basically opted out.
