Steve, I have the Narantz ND8006 you mentioned. Excellent streamer , I am using a dedicated basic Lenovo Windows 10 laptop as my server, USB connection to the Marantz. The Marantz has a very capable DAC with analogue inputs to my Yamaha AS2100 integrated amp . I use the CD player as well as internet radio from time to time. It is made in Japan and I recommend it highly. I had a question early on and was able to get a good answer via a phone call from Marantz USA. It won’t play SACD’s for the record. But I have no doubt it will work with JRivers as JRivers is mentioned in my owner’s manual. This Marantz ND8006 is a keeper .
Looking for suggestions for a network capable DAC/Streamer
In my other systems, I am currently using a PS Audio DSD for playing music from a NAS using JRiver on various laptops and desktops to control. I also stream from IHeart/ Classic FM and several others either directly or through Magnum Dynalabs Internet tuners. My problem is my system at work.
I use a desktop that I currently transmit wirelessly from the CPU through either Creative Wireless, Audioengine W3 or I had been trying to get a bluetooth to work with no success thus far.
My thought it is to something along the line of the PSA DSD and run my music across our network to my work stereo on the other side of the office. As it is a work unit, I am trying to keep the outlay under 1k for the solution. So another PSA DSD even in the used market is more than I am willing to go.....so what else is out there that I should be looking at? I prefer a hardwire solution as I am a distance from out WiFi router and have a switch in my office so running a cable through the ceiling would be a 10 minute operation.
Office system is currently a back-up amp (Perreaux 3150) currently replacing a bedini 100/100 waiting to be repaired (still looking for a Tech) currently a Quicksilver Pre (soon to be replaced with an ARC 17se) with Shahinian Arc's speakers.
I have been looking to see if I could pick up a PSA Perfectwave DAC with the Bridge II card, but all the ones I have seen have also been nearly double my budget. really like the SQ from the DSD but not enuf to make the jump considering its use.
