Streamer Recommendation.


Budget 7000US$.  (+/-)

System: Amplification: Luxman L 509X.  Speakers: Joseph Audio Perspective.  DAC:  PS Audio Perfect Wave.  CD/SACD PS Audio Perfect Wave.  Streamer:  BlueSound Node 2.I

I am limited to WiFi, due to my router location.   I would like a high quality streamer without DAC that will provide a noticeable improvement over the entry level Node.

Any assistance would be very helpful.

i think auralic is the one major streamer maker that prefers wifi over hardwire connection for network signal

@rbsaudio

i think you are making a fine choice with the auralic, especially with your need to use wifi - you just need to make sure your wifi is solid, with strong signal

i would add though, in my music room i am using a mesh router satellite to deliver a ’virtual’ ethernet feed into my roon core/streamer, and it works very well -- one day i may bite the bullet, drill through and run an actual hardwire ethernet, but so far i have avoided that need with excellent performance with the mesh system

fairly well known the bridge card is a weak point in implementing a last gen psa-ds in a streaming system

folks much better off sonically using a separate streamer and deliver the bitstream to the dac via usb or i2s
