Streamer, no DAC please?

Sorry if this topic has been beaten to a pulp...I recently upgraded the digital side of my rig, Denafrips, Pontus 15 with a Project CD Box RS2T transport...

Now I have the itch to try streaming. It pains me to invest in a high end streamer and once again pay for a DAC.

Is it possible to find a quality steamer without a DAC? Any direction is appreciated, FYI, I consider myself a luddite.

I agree with the suggestion for checking out the linemann bridge and the primare mp5 mk2. They are within your price range. WiiM Pro is a great option as well - best streaming software hands down!!

Another one that hasn't been mentioned is the Keces eBravo +/- P6 power upgrade. Approx $600/1000 respectively. This has the added advantage of integration with the linkplay system that WiiM uses...

SMSL N100 is another brand new entry into the market. Running on volumio which can be kinda annoying to use. Check out their own rivo model too... also the holo audio streamer.

Another one I forgot to mention was the Aune S10 which also uses linkplay/WiiM software.

All within your budget
