I'm not sure why you took @ghdprentice to task for his latest post. I do believe that you took it as a swipe at you and your equipment. I have read perhaps 1000 of his posts and I have never seen him look down on anyone or their rig. He was simply being sincere in the post, as well as stating the obvious, which is your analog rig is of a much higher quality than your streaming/CD.
Hey, maybe I'm way off base, but I don't think so. Also, I don't know him and I have never responded to a post on someone else's behalf. I guess there's always a first time.
As to your original question, you won't go wrong with any of the suggestions made above. Please understand that this will be your first streamer and you will then find yourself looking for one of higher quality. Particularly if you are going to judge it against vinyl. Best of luck.
