My SACD Transport feeds so much better signal to my DAC compared with streaming end...

I have to concur with Ghdprenice.  I purchased an older N100 to try streaming with an Aurender.  I can honestly say the sound exceeded my expectations.  I no longer am interested in physical media.  The streamer is all that I want to listen to for the ease of operation and sound quality.   I have posted my PS Audio SACD transport for sale and plan on purchasing a N200 or N20.

This is another of those questions where the only wrong answer is an absolute statement of what is best-or not. I don't find much difference in my streaming set up and CDs-I think its more dependent on the mastering of the track or album. So, the convenience and variety of streaming works very well for me.

On the other hand, I have friends who say their CDs sound significantly better than any streaming set up they have heard. Who is wrong? Nobody-its a subjective thing and the only way you will know is listen for yourself. I can safely make a definitive statement about what I like-but not what you might like. 

I have a Denon DVD A-110 SACD player which sounds amazing thru my McIntosh amp. I cannot imagine an external dac making an improvement..The 24 but remastered redbooks are good the new SHM CD's better and the SACD's optimal.

The Ayre Acoustics QX-5 Twenty streaming DAC was an absolute game changer for me, and forever changed the way I listen to music!!!  In the wonderful world of high-end audio, everyone's doing their own thing.  For me, streaming turned out to be pure gold, but it took some time, research, and effort to finally get it right.  Happy litening.    

Have you tried streaming without Roon?  If you use Qobuz, for example, stream from their service directly without Roon. I tried Roon and I didn't like the sound with my gear.  My system is not optimized for Roon.
