Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital?


I have Comcast/Xfinity coaxial cable to their modem/router in an Apple equipped office approximately twenty feet from a remote xFi Pod with 2 ethernet outputs next to my rack. If this source is adequate what would you suggest next with a $10K budget?

Thanks about the news for the aurender conductor V3 app for Android, but as it is still in development I will have to wait to see how it is rated once in production. Glad to see they are attempting to address the issues. However I hope they make it feasible to read on phones rather than larger tablet screens. The remote use for me is critical and bluos app has mastered that.

These kind of discussions somehow often turn into platforms for dealers to promote their products. It would be much more meaningful if dealers sales pitches were separated by the administration from the public's opinions of products they experienced. However I do respect the dealers who openly state their business in their posts. Overall it is too much like reading Stereophile or Absolute sound where they mainly review equipment from companies that spend big bucks advertising in their magazines. There is basically very little objectivity in any of that. Either way, my two cents to the OP is your choices should all be based on how you want to connect to your internet and operate your streamer. Since I want to use my android phone as a remote to operate my streamer, my options immediately eliminate Auralic since it has no app for android. Also Lumin and Aurender are seriously lacking in their android apps to give you the results you would be happy with.  It leaves Innuos with their android sense app wich is highly rated. However, with the setup you listed, if you use an IPad or a computer, your options are much wider, lucky you. Unfortunately that is where this technology is at this point, the streaming system needs to be a good match for your internet feed and how you want to operate your streamer from it. I wish I had your options, but since my internet cable feed is in the main house and I have a separate power feed to my house of stereo, best I can do is wifi extender connected to streamer via ethernet cable. Plus I won't use any  tablets, too big for me to operate in my listening chair, so android phone it is and thankfully my bluesound setup works extremely well. Plenty of details under my system. Glad you are taking the dive for streaming regardless of the complexities, you won't regret it.

Before I can consider it, I will have to wait for a sizable amount of reviews. Will stay on the lookout for them.

Interesting to see it does not work for the N200! It's always something in the streaming world...
