Streamer Advice

I appreciate all the responses so far. Still not sure the best route to go for all these responses. I will be upgrading from a Sonos Connect modded by Wyred4Sound.

The reason I want to upgrade is the Sonos does not support MQA. So this is why I wanted to move to something better. I think the Sonos is about 10 years old but still working.

Another vote for the WIIM Ultra. It has many features & connections you’ll ever need. I kept it simple & matched it up with the FOSI ZD3 DAC & added the openness & separation that anyone would need. The built in EQ & room correction are nice features. 

I found the Lumin U1 mini  a set up over both the bluesound node and eversolo 6 that I bought owned.  I believe its in your budget used.  I like it so much  I upgraded to the Lumin U2.

I don’t think any current streaming service offers MQA… Tidal dropped it last year 

Music Direct had “demo/open box” Aurender N100 for $1600 with full warranty- at least as of a couple of months ago. Mine looked new and totally outclassed my Node with LPS into a Pontus
