Streamlining streamers

Right now, I have an NAD 50.2 in my main system and an Audiolab 6000N in my office. However, I am moving into a new place that will allow me to have a dedicated listening room for a set of Magnepans. Each system has a separate DAC. Was thinking of just getting a Bluesound node for the listening room for now, but was wondering if I am missing an opportunity for a more centralized/uniform system?

FYI, I prefer "box" systems as opposed to using Roon.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @blisshifi, thanks for the response.

1) I am wondering if there’s an option where I have the main streamer with my main system that’s a one-box system where I could somehow send that signal to other systems.

2) Two, listening room is separate. In the "dedicated" room, I have Vandersteens with Audio Research gear. The "listening room" is smaller, and has modified (updated) Sonic Frontiers gear with Aragon monoblocks. The office system is a set of ProAc monitors with an SET tube amp and an Audiolab streamer and transport.

3) It would be nice if the systems could link, but I’m fine if the office system is separate. Systems don’t have to play at the same time like Sonos. Each system is basically separate. But I'd like the luxury of building a playlist on just one platform (be it Bluesound or whatever)

Hope that clarifies things enough :)

Oh, the Aurender stuff looks amazing (and sounded great at a dealer I listened to in Santa Monica recently), but that's beyond my budget ATM. I may just pick up a Bluesound Node for the short term and explore moving up to the Aurender line of streamers...

If I had something like an N200 in the main system, what would go with the other two systems?

Thx.
