I am guessing you are in the budget market... Bluesound sounds great for the money... no mater what you do you are going to end up with a streaming capable device. Then once you start using it, unlikly you will go back, A BlueSound Node can be found for ~$379... great value for the money. Also the control software is very good.
Replace Auraliti
I have a old Auraliti digital player, I assume technology has improved and am looking for something new to play my flac files that are on a SSD.
I do not want streaming, I do not want to build a computer or anything with a raspbeyy pi.
All I want is a box that I can plug in a SSD and then connect to my Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC.
I am considering a used Lunim U1 Mini but I rerad how people are having trouble playing local files.
I have a Sotm sps-500 psu I would connect for a better power supply.
I'm getting crosseyed reading all the posts that digress and never answer this question.
Thanks all for any helpful suggestions.
