I went the same route and ended up with a Linn Akurate DSM and have no need to look any further. Is future proof and sounds wonderful. Pricey though but it’s the end game for me.
From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion
I'm contemplating moving from my setup:
Lumin U1 Mini w/sbooster LPS -> Audio Mirror Tubadour SE III DAC
to an all-in-one unit. I will use it strictly as a Roon endpoint. Since there are no R2R NOS type streamers, I've been looking at the AK based ones, like
Rose RS150
Cary DMS-600/650
Also rest of system is Omega 98db speakers, Slagle Autoformer Preamp -> Oliver Sayes 421a based tube amp.
Wonder if I'll be happy with the latest sigma/delta dacs in a all-in-one type unit. Anyone else made a similar move to mine?
