I have not heard it for myself, but the unit I would love to try is the Exasound S82 mk II. I especially like the fact it has a Roon core built in, great streamer, preamp functionality, and purportedly, a killer DAC. Currently using the HifiRose RS150b.
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
