That is easy, Aurender W20SE streamer with the Audio Research Reference CD9SE DAC. I have also had in my system the Berkeley Alpha Reference Alpha DAC ($22K), which was ever so slightly more detailed, but not quite as musical. I also had the Grimm Streamer… no not nearly as good, and the top of the line Linn Streamer / DAC… no not quite. Also, several others. Obviously I own what sounded best to me.
best cost no object single unit streamer/dac combo you have ever heard?
I have a Lumin X1 and have a hard time believing it can get much better than this unit.
I've read though other units may in fact smoke this so genuinely curious
brands that I have seen tossed out, Aurender, Playback Designs, and DCS to name a few
combo units only please
