Request recommendations to purchase a streaming device


I am looking for a streaming device for use with music and video. I am running a 2-channel system as follows: speaker 800d3, MAC MC611 monoblocks, MAC C12000st & C12000C preamp.  I am not familiar with streaming, or devices.  Dealer suggested HIFI Rose 150B.

My recommendation is that an appropriate streamer (assuming you want high quality sound) is a component just like a preamp, amp, DAC, or Phonostage and needs to be carefully chosen and allocated roughly equivalent funds as you invested in any of your other components… a bit more will not hurt (a bit of future proofing).

 

I have had a lot of experience with inexpensive and owned some good ones… I prefer Aurender as a brand. This is all they do, and do it exceptionally well. You get what you pay for. Their flagship is the most used in audio shows. I own a N100 and their flagship W20SE (well worth it).
