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.

Thanks for the information. This is an experiment for me... I don't want to spend more than $1500ish. Used is always fine with me.. If I like the format, I'll likely upgrade sooner than later.

I plan to subscribe to Qobuz or perhaps Tidal...

I have to admit these threads typically go sideways. $1,500 budget soon morphs into $5,000 recommendations. As the kids say, "SMH". LOL

Thanks to all. Although I would love to find a used Lumin U2 or Aurender N200, it's too much money for an experiment in streaming.

I don't see how I can go wrong with the Wiim Pro. I think I'll give it a go.

Apologies if I offended anyone with my last post... I'll declare my budget in future original posts.

Does the Airlens work best with PS Audio companions/components...?
