Best Dedicated Streamer

I have a Canary KD-2000 DAC and seek a high end digital streamer to feed it with. I don’t need an integrated unit with a DAC built in nor do I need or want a CD transport in the streamer.

What manufacturers and products should I consider? I would much prefer to buy US made.

Thank you.

Do you use Roon?  That is a primary decision I think, and will eliminate a few major contenders if you do.  Having a Roon Streamer is a must for me.

Auralic Aries G2.1 (built in China, but great US support and service) Aurender, choices as per budget, Innuos, choices within budget as well.  Then the more 'upscale' brands, Grimm (US?), Antipodes (Australia), Pink Faun  Pay attention to the power supply if you want the best.  That is why you will see two box designs... Aurender does not play with Roon I think, but very well reviewed.  I enjoy my Aries G2.1 with custom power supply. (I think it is great).  Made a huge upgrade over the streamer in my very nice DAC.  Many other less expensive options but you said...
