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 have had the Rose 130 in my system for the last 2 weeks. Before that the Eversolo 8 as a streamer only and before that a Node.  The Rose has brought my System to entirely different level. The Eversolo 8 was huge improvement over the Node in the basics of sound clarity, sound stage and energy.  I connected the Rose to fiber optic today and agin another improvement in tonal quality , texture and energy . I recommend reach for a high quality audiophile streamer . I’ve been sold on performance and importance of a higher quality and potentially more costly streamer. Running the Rose through an AVA Digital pre amp. Odyssey Kismet monos and Alta Audio Alec’s.
