I’ve heard two: the Linn DSM/3 Organik and the T+A SD 3100 HV both of which have a built in streaming client w/ their DAC. In my view, both of these units were significantly better than the DCS Bartok, the Boulder 866 and the Mola Mola Tambaqui. Of course, they were both significantly more expensive as well. But, for a top end combo unit? These two. Unfortunately, I couldn’t hear the Linn and T+A in the same system. That would have been interesting.
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
