streamer need...........

good morning all, i am putting together another system and need streamer only, i have 2 other existing systems i am very happy with, for reference i have the burmester 151 mk2 streamer/dac in one and i have the aurender a20 streamer/dac in the other, like both a lot.

 

system three is different, i have a aavik u300 with dac built into it, therefore streamer only needed, what do you guys recommend from $7500-$15000 retail

 

thoughts?

Thanks for your comments.

Just to understand, what is your system? There is a place to display it under your UserID. The performace of a streamer is dependent on the rest of your system. So, it would be really helpful to understand the system you are using.

Personally, I have streamed using iPods, iPhones, PCs, MAC laptops (unplugged), as well as streamers from $3K to $22K and in every case higher quality dedicated streamers performed much better than low cost streamers. But of course, it all depends on your entire system.

Aurender N20. That is pretty easy. Given your integrated. Both my streaming systems have Aurender, W20SE and N100 (headphone system).

Also, same control using Conductor.

 

I compared the N100 with the N10. Big difference… also big jump from N10 to tne W20SE. I have no question that they have maintained the improvements. The N20 has a much more well developed power supply. One of the most important aspects. My W20SE has the audio circuits run on battery power.
