Happy Vault 2 owner. For under a Grand not sure you can touch it for the convenience and sound quality. Onboard DAC is very good and agree for most it’ll be just fine. If you’re good not having the latest 2i version the previous models can be had on Bluesounds site directly at a discount. Very happy with my refurbished unit if that’s really what it was. Buy a refurbished unit and with the money you save, buy a better power cord and Ethernet cable as they do improve these players.
best $1000 digital front end options for home streaming?
Hello All,
seeking recommendations please for a simple two channel system digital front end
(will connect device directly to integrated amp and passive speakers) for steaming Tidal and Spotify
The device will be connected permanently to the amp
I was originally looking at DAP's but some further research has me thinking I may be better with something like a tablet or phone with external DAC like a Chord Mojo
budget is $1000 and I'm open to used gear
thanks in advance
