Streaming recommendations


I am looking to add a streamer to my home system. I want to connect it to my Emotiva ERC-4 via the TOSlink. I would control the device via my Fire tablet or iPad 3 (both are pretty good  with my Visio Smart TVs.) or my android phone. What is a good unit that is budget friendly?

My Dad has an A6 Mastee.   Was working perfect and about a year into it they botched the FW and it no longer recognizes his DAC.  

Its a know issue with several other DACs.     It's been over a year and no resolve.    When I asked for an RMA 5 days before the warranty was up they stopped communicating....   

Decent hardware , terrible support and FW .   Its had about 5 updates, each one had issues.   

Bluesound is a much better platform , it may not have all the bells and whistles but it works for the most part.  

Anyone spending $2k to $4k on an Eversolo is nuts.   

I had a chance to use a WiiM Ultra and I would choose that over the A6 .  

Any potential buyers should read the pages of problems over on the Zidoo forum.  

 

New problems were drop out son Qubuz.    Really frustrating to have to put that thing in my systems to troubleshoot.     

If you are getting dropouts, what are your DNS settings? Change them to google

8.8.8.8

8.8.4.4

It will work better, and usually gets you faster pings/returns. Stopped my video streaming drops.
