Streamers rabbit hole


boy.  there are so many streamers out there all claiming to be better than the other.  My head is spinning.

I have an Anthem STR integrated amp, SVS SB300 sub, and Sonetto II G2s.  Looking for a good streamer pairing for this system. 

Comments please....

I forgot to mention above that I own an Anthem STR Preamp and the Hifi Rose RS130 sounds great with it.

I have owned the following streamers: Bluesound Node2i and Node, Wiim Pro, Innuos ZenMini MK3, Eversolo DMP-A6 ME (with added LPS) and currently a HiFi Rose RS 130 (streamer only--no DAC).  The HiFi Rose RS130 cost significantly more than all the others and I was really wondering beforehand if the cost would be worth it.  I was quite pleasantly surprised at how much better it sounded than all the others I had owned.  I honestly did not think there was much room for upside improvement, but there was.  The other features it has--RoseTube, the incredible screen, etc--are awesome as well.  The user interface is not the best I've used (with those honors going to the Innuos Sense app), but it is OK.  I bought mine at Music Direct and they were great to deal with and even negotiated a little on the price, which was great!  Good luck on your search!
