Good Streamer with WiFi Connectivity


Hi,
Newbie looking to add a Streamer into existing System. This unit will feed into a separate DAC (Accuphase).

WiFi connectivity of unit is preferred—to keep things simple—ie. don’t want the extra work on router, ethernet connect etc where possible, foreseeing the cabling~messy.

Is this (WiFi) route a compromised in sound quality? Which Streamer in the 3-5k range will do the job nicely? Will be using Tidal/Spotify. Lumin? Aurender? Or...? Thanks.

Will read up on Aries G1/2–And if anyone with first hand experience on its sound vs others will be nice (Lumin U1?). Read somewhere a user stating that Aries SQ falls somewhat short of his Lumin?—just one’s subjective opinion there of course.

Seems like Lumin (wifi ext.) Or the Aries G1/2 are two good contenders..
*Do both allow ipad/iph as users interface?

Thanks for the input/recommendation thus far.

Ok, so I read that Aries G2 is Auralic totl dac’less streamer? but newer G1 shares many of G2’s feature/technology in more price friendly package?—cost aside, is G2 still the better performer to get?

Has anyone heard/compared Aries G2 vs Lumin U1?

*Will be using ios~all Apple stuffs ;)

Thanks again all. BR.
