Ideon DAC's

Been looking for a DAC/Streamer for about 1 year and still have not decided on one. My system is pretty basic, which started out as a dedicated home theater and decided I want to stream music. Currently streaming from Qobuz from via my IPad.

I was introduced to Ideon (never heard of previously). Was thinking of the following two products. Ayazi or Ion dac+ preamp with a Bluesound node.

Current system is as follows:

ATI 4005 amp

Marantz AV7706 processor

Sonus Faber Sonneto V Speakers

Any input  or other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

@gregm - sounds like the ION + preamp is the way too go according to your post. I appreciate the information. Where did you purchase it from? Thanks.

@ baylinor - I noticed that you have the Gustard X26 pro - what streamer do you have with it? How does that compare to the Ideon Ayazi or Ion + preamp?

Audioman58 - to answer your question regarding Ideon - they do not have a combo Dac streamer.

So I'm still searching high and low for a DAC/Streamer. The drawback is I cannot preview since no one sells them by me. The options I'm still looking at are as follows: Hopefully someone can point me in the proper direction..

  1. Ideon Ayazi
  2. Merason Frerot - I could get demo both DAC/power supply for $1,699
  3. Chord Qutest
  4. Bricasti M3

I would probably use the Innous mini Pulse, Innous Pulse or the Aurender N150 streamer.

Thanks again for any help or experience!!
