The new LINK II looks like the best USB streamer under $1K.
Probably SQ better than many $3K.

Looking for a front end streamer only.
I am looking for a front end streamer that I can get the cleanest sound out such as the Auralic Aries 2.1 or Dcs Network Bridge etc.I mostly would stream Tidal and Qobuz but would like Roon end point too. I have a Anthem STR integrated amp and Focal Aria 936 floor standing speakers. Mostly been doing Vinyl and Cd's. Looking to join the streaming world. Will buy a better Dac later. Don't want to spend more than about 6k. I would like to use my ipad for controlling everything. I have a dedicated ethernet connection or can do wifi.

If you want the "best" SQ I recommend the dCS bridge with FPGA to keep it current for many years. If you decide to subscrbe to Roon, all that you will need is the Silent Angel package: https://cruxaudio.com/collections/thunder-data/products/silent-angel-rhein-z1-roon-music-server-plus... You can spend all of the time that you desire to find out that they sound better than most of the above except for maybe the Wolf that costs as much as both of them together. My bet is that the dCS sounds best at it's price point for years. |
