I understand the main difference between the Bryston 3 and 3.14 is the latter includes a built-in Raspberry Pi computer board to handle the streaming. You could just buy an RPi separately with a case and add the same streaming capabilities to your existing DAC. BTW, Raspberry Pi is up to model 4 now which does USB out very nicely (the 3.14 uses the model 3 board.) RPis aren't as cheap as they used to be due to the supply chain crisis, but still a pretty good deal.
For an upgrade in sound quality I would just get a separate streamer and keep the BDA-3.

There's always Rigelian for those who won't settle for Manic Moose. |

I used Rigelian. It was an improvement over Manic Moose but that is a low bar. It recognized perhaps 50% of the music on my NAS. I also had to reload the app several times. Rigelian was a free app, so one can't complain, but I suspect the problem was the crappy digital Bryston interface that it has to sit upon |
