I have a Mcintosh ma352 with B&W speakers also... I have used only one streamer that has all the specs you are looking for... I have a Rose rs150 which I really like and internet radio comes with it with a large selection of anything you would like to listen too. The Rs250 is half the price and comes with much the same features but half the size. You can store your music internally by adding an SSD drive or play off a USB stick that plugs in the back. It has a port for connecting a computer and a port for ethernet through which you get the internet radio or wifi. It has wonderful Vu meters in many colors which made me want it (I'm a sucker for VU meters). You might audition it and others because since I haven't heard others, there maybe something better out there but I like the one I have a lot. Maybe it is for you.
Looking for a streamer/DAC
OK.
an old dog trying to catch a new stick. Looking for a streamer/DAC that includes Wi-Fi and would be best to run through my McIntosh MA352.
I’m confused about the preamp section in many products. Can the preamp be bypassed so I can continue to enjoy the warmth of the tubes?
I have B&W 803 D4 speakers and max budget of $4-5K.
thanks.
