I prefer a separate server and DAC, compared to a combo server. I am using an Aurender N-100 and a Lampizator Atlantic DAC and am pleased with the overall sound. I will say the HiFi Rose looks very interesting and my be something to look at down the road.
For those that have separate Streamers & DACS
What are some of your favorite streamers/servers strictly from a sound quality perspective? Please assume a stand-alone DAC. I've read such a variety of opinions on streamers and was interested in opinions from those that have tried different streamers on with their DACs.
