if you’re going to step into big boy streamers look at Aurender or InnuOs. I highly doubt you will get anyone to say anything negative about them. Great customer service and their stuff sounds great.
Need to get off of bluetooth.... looking for a wifi streamer for my budget
My current system is a McIntosh C12000 preamp and a 861 Moon amp.
I have a Eversolo Z8. I want to get off of blue tooth (streaming from my phone) and get onto wifi. So I need a streamer.
I know this sounds crazy... but I stretched my budget and it will take about a year for me to recover. So, what would like to do is buy a streamer (used hopefully) to tie me over temp.
Can anyone recommend a wifi streamer brand/model for my setup that I might find used for *around* $500? I would consider a streamer/dac combo if the dac was better than the one in the Eversolo Z8 because that one is pretty good spec wise (it has the ESS Pro)

Bluesound Node 2i with Linear Power Supply LPS For Sale - US Audio Mart https://share.google/sX3Bl58kkHMPJOaor No Apple music but has Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth and a good ESS DAC. The LPS improves the sound quality a lot. |
+1 @boulder_bob as long as your pre has the DAC2 module and not the DAC1. |
1. If you want audiophile sound from streaming you need to start with hires files like Tidal or Qobuz. https://www.tunemymusic.com can help you transfer your Apple Music playlists. Any blue sound node streamer will be a big improvement. If you get one of the later models with usb digital out you can add a better DAC later. There’s no reason not to get a used one on eBay as if it works on arrival it is unlikely to go bad later, so last year’s model will be in your price range. |
