I’d get an Innuos Zenith Mk3 for $4250. Excellent as a streamer, but it also has a CD drive and internal storage so you can rip all your CDs right into it and have all your discs along with your streamed music at your fingertips. It also works with Roon. Read reviews of it and its little brother the Zen Mk3, which is also excellent at “only” $2600. Trying to save you some $$$ here. Hope this helps, and best of luck.
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.
