I would agree A200 would likely be the one.
I own two Aurrender.
Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k
I’m looking for a DAC/Streamer single unit, willing to spend up to $7-8k & not opposed to something like a recent model/demo/open box unit. The only streamer/DAC experience I’ve had so far with my gear connected is with an Aurender A200 on demo from a dealer. Said dealer says it’s the “benchmark” at this general price point. IDK, It sounds great, but what would I likely hear differently with the following units?
-Meitner MA3
-HiFi Rose 150b
-Lumin T3 or P1
-Bricasti

Congradulations! Great sounding streamer. You are quite right about the additional opportunity for improvement by replacing the Gumby. I recently compared the Yggdrasil with the Linn ~$5K DAC and it was like night and day. There are so much better DACs. I was using an Aurrender N100 for comparison. So, you have a big opportunity for improvement. Depending on the rest of your equipment.
