A Bluesound with updated power supply and a Topping D90 sounds good to me. The Raspberry Pi 4 gets good comments. An R2R DAC would be a substitute and different sound. Denafrips etc.
Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500
I almost bought the Qutest. Even though it is still in my shortlist, I am thinking maybe I should go for the integrated solution of a streamar/DAC combo. My budget is no more than about $1500 MAX. MQA is not absolutely necessary. XLR outputs are preferable.
I am deciding towards a Cambridge CXN V2, unless someone here suggests an alternative.
Sound quality is obviously the most important criteria but right up there is also reliability too (at least 6+ years of trouble free reliable operation).
Any experiences ?
Thanks in advance.
