Have a look at Antipodes from New Zealand.
Very well reviewed as being exceptionally well made with fantastic sound, their after sales service is second to none.

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.

I know you said you did not need a DAC but at your budget, the Lumin X-1 is a tremendous DAC/Stremer and very easy to use. It is not built in the USA but I have had 4 of them. If you want an end-game music server, please look up Lucas Audio, Ok, they are based out of Poland and the UK but their music server is incredible and Lucas Domansky, the owner is a computer genius and offers 24/7 service. If nothing else give him a call on WhatsApp. You will be convinced after talking to him. Even though I now have a Lampizator Pacific DAC, the Lucas Audio Music Server is the component that took my system to musical bliss. |
@wokeuptobose @ghasleyAnother Grimm endorsement here. Besides the outstanding sound quality, I appreciate the greatly simplified set-up --- no more fancy switch, or ethernet cable, or outward linear power supplies. I use it with a $2 generic power cable, and put my good PCs on my other components. The only add-on I found worthwhile was a good digital AES cable -- I like Black Cat's cable for that. |
