First Streamer...


Hi,

I'm planning to buy my first streamer.

Honestly, I have no idea which brand of streamer to purchase and would welcome suggestions.

I'd like to use my android phone to select material which will be played through a Audio Research VSi60 amp and homemade Zaph Audio ZRT Revelator speakers.   My CD player ( a Rega Saturn) has  a DAC which could be used for streaming.

Any suggestions?   

I'm looking to stream TIDAL using Verizon's Fios service  and spend under $2000.

The newest Bluesound Node (130) is a pretty great streamer to start with. It's easy to use, the software is terrific, and it's easy to set up. At $600 it's easy on the budget, and can be very very good with a good DAC. I am not familiar with the Saturn, but it looks to have USB co-ax digital inputs.....so it's a start. If you outgrow the unit at some time, you can probably sell the unit and get a chunk of your money back out of it.
