Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary


budget = $4000

To be clear, a built-in DAC is fine, but not a necessity

Not to change the subject but how would an Auralic Aries Mini hold up these days? They seem pretty cheap on the used market? Too old?

Using an early Auralic Aries with the Vega for a s/s system with Maggies, seems like the Aries has very good sound stage and response. Also using a Lumin U1 mini with a Schiit Yggy GS, in my tube system with Totem Forests. Lumin is very nice with the Yggy softening the sound a bit.
