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.....

Look at the American made company, Cary Audio DMS650.  I have a DMS800PV and use to have the DMS600.  The only issue if you call it an issue is that it does have a built in DAC and Clock.  You can bypass that if you like to use your own DAC.  Incredible app and amazing sound.  Hard to beat and dead quiet.  Give them a call.  They are in Cary North Carolina. You can use Roon or just use their app. I’ve owned their streamers since 2017.

I recently purchased the Lumin U2, been blown away by how good my system sounds now.  Check it out, has body and detail, nice balance

I tend to buy the same brand as my router. I have used a number of Net Gear extenders. I gave in and finally had Xfinity put in their router/modem. My NetGear extenders work fine with them.

I just get them at Best Buy.
