Another request for Streamer Transport options

I like the idea that with a good streaming set up, using Qobuz will negate the need to rip cd’s. You would have to have some pretty eclectic taste to not find what you’re looking for on the streaming site. I fortunately never went through a CD phase, yet I read very often that people who have their streaming set up properly very rarely use their CDs. Because the streaming is equal to, if not better. 

Look at the Lumin options. 
I’ve been very leased with mine. 

Also, the PS Audio Airllens looks very intriguing for US$1,500
 

also, choose one or the other file formats - no real need to keep both, and use up your storage space. 
 

Joe much storage do you have?

and is it fully redundant?

I would take a look at the Orchard Audio gear, the PecanPi+ streamer looks like an interesting option and has a nice DAC in it.

I think the PS Audio Air Lens would be a good choice too if you are planning to use an external DAC.

 

@jwillox I have multiple copies of all important files. I shot professional sports for years as a second job/hobby and still sell archived images and most of those are also in the cloud.

Storage space is not an issue. Synology DS923+ with 48 TB (36 TB with RAID), main PC with 40 TB, secondary PC with 26TB.

I want both file types because I also have aftermarket sound systems in all our cars and some work better with Apple devices with ALAC files and others FLAC files on a USB.

The Lumin does look nice but I would prefer a product that doesn’t come from a Chinese owned company. Thanks.

You don't want Chinese gear, yet you're up to the nostrils in apple stuff...?
