A quick question on what streamers to consider.......


Hello fellow Audiogoners - a quick question as I have noted above on streamers. I am looking for a steamer only,  no DAC,  that would be easy to use. I don't want to worry about any updates and would prefer a US made product if at all possible. I have a WiFi service coming into my home so that would be how I would be getting my music. I would like it simple to use and without any hassles. I would be using it in the summer providing music to my back dec, or when cooking or entertaining inside. I would looking in the price range say of ; $2,000 to $5,000 used or new. Thank you in advance and look forward to suggestions on what to buy based on what I have outlined above. Thank you in advance and please stay safe and well.....

@12many I think you really have two options as workaround - 

1. you can add a track to your Qobuz playlist in the Qobuz app

2. you can add your Qobuz playlist to the Aurender library in the Conductor app then add tracks to it there. However in this case it becomes your Aurender playlist and anything you add/remove won’t be reflected in the Qobuz playlist. 
 

I don’t think it’s a deal breaker…at least for me it isn’t.

Auralic (Chinese) and Bluesound (Canadian?) have wifi. For Aurender and Lumin(not simple to use due to their UI) you will need Ethernet access point and cable. I was going to recommend Roon Nucleus but that’ll require Roon subscription and there’s no wifi either. 

Yes they’ve been very responsive to my inquiries as well. They turned around a color theme fix overnight.
