not sure how off topic? Im looking for a combo unit that streams as well ,, A DAC is not needed really and as long as there is digital out then don't have to use or compare the on board DAC with the Metrium or other. My sense of the industry is to get more business by selling all in 1 units so as to increase potential for sales esp for those who don't want to "bother" with separates. Its most often about introducing "advances" in components to maximize sales . Thats my take anyway.
Cocktail Audio N15 - A Contender?
I have been searching for an all-in-one streamer-DAC under $1000 that will offer good sonics, gapless FLAC playback of at least 24/192, wireless streaming via my home network, DLNA compliance, and digital output for future DAC upgrades. It must have a good control app available for Android devices.
Given my long list of requirements, I have only found one product that offers all of these features (although I cannot judge the sonics without hearing it, of course). The Cocktail Audio N15 seems to do it all. It even has a bay for a HDD, potentially eliminating the need for my separate server.
Has anyone tried/heard this unit or its app, "NOVATRON Music X" ? Reviews on line are few and not comprehensive. Thanks!
