Streamer's without built in DAC options?


What options other than Auralic offer DAC free streamer options? Price up to $5-6k or less.
Would be used with Mola Mola Tambaqui and Roon Nucleus

The simplest option would be to continue to leverage your Roon Nucleus to run Roon Core and storing your music on the Roon Core and/or a NAS device.  These devices are both connected to your home network and can be in a different room than your system.  Then you add a Roon compatible network player like the Simaudio Moon MiND2 or DCS Network Bridge and connect it to your Tambaqui DAC via your preferred connection (USB, S/PDIF, AES/EBU).

You already have storage and a computer to run Roon Core handled with your Nucleus so you don’t need a server that handles file storage or streaming through Tidal, Quobuz or other streaming software.  Brands like Innuos are fantastic servers but you’d be paying for storage and other features that you already have with your Roon Core.
