Recommendations for good sounding streamer
I am looking for a decent sounding streamer without breaking the bank. My daughter has Spotify premium and it would be nice to connect up to my audio system (de Havilland UltraVerve tube preamp, McCormack DNA-1 amp, Martin Logan SL3s).
I mostly listen to vinyl (Pro-ject RPM5) and CDs (Ultech UCD100) using the internal DAC. I do have a V90 DAC however that I used for playing digital from my phone.
I don't really have the money any more for expensive digital playback. So what a recommendations for bang for the buck system. Could include using my V90 DAC.
Reading through the forum here it seems that Spotify is not the best quality digital (Tidal seems to come up a lot). But for now we have tons of Spotify playlists - just looking for an affordable way.
Some considerations:
Bluesound NODE 3
iFi Zen Stream
Any others? Pros/cons?
The Martin Logan Unison is on sale for $199, AND it has ARC room correction. You hook this puppy up via digital out to your DAC. Download the app to your phone and you are streaming. You will love what ARC does for your system and it is the same version that comes with $$$$ preamps/streamers from Anthem.: https://www.martinlogan.com/en/product/unison Review
