Combination streamer and music server…without DAC

Re. Combination streamer and music server without DAC:  There don’t seem to be too many of these out there and when I do see them, they tend to be quite pricey (Aurender N20).  I would like to use the DAC on my CD player.  I’m looking for something used, between $3K and $4K.  I suppose Lumin is an option by purchasing an L1 storage unit but I’m trying to avoid having another box.  I have about 300 to 400 cd’s.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

I’d highly recommend a used Innuos Zenith Mk3 or Zen Mk3 (new or used) streamer/servers that have their own onboard disk drive along with internal storage — everything in one box. Good user interface, excellent sound quality, and great customer support if needed. You also have the option of adding their Phoenix Reclocker down the road for a nice performance boost if desired. There’s a Zenith available here now in your price range. Best of luck.

All my posts have been removed, so I guess the best advice as per this site is to just buy whatever audiotroy recommends. Totally corrupted IMHO, and this post will no doubt be removed as well. Just buy what audiotroy recommends because it’s obviously endorsed by Audiogon. Objectivity be damned.
