Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)


I have a dCS Paganini DAC and Paganini Clock. I’m looking for a streamer only to pair with the Paganini to stream via Tidal.  That’s it, I don’t need a streamer/DAC/etc.  I don’t want to extra for pay for redundancy.  Any good suggestions on a streamer only  that you have paired to a high end DAC with good results would be appreciated. 

 

PLEASE no “try some at home on your system” responses …. that’s the reason I came here, for some recommendations. Price range $1500-$5000.

 

Thanks!

The innuos statement streamer I believe is very good, depending on your budget the Taiko SGM extreme is as good as it gets https://taikoaudio.com/taiko-2020/sgm-extreme-music-server/

I have also read good things about the Grimm audio streamer MU1.

I auditioned the AURALiC streamers against my home made computer streamer and they did not impress. This lead me to the audiophile style forum which is a wealth of info on both commercial and DIY streamers. I ended up building a state of the art 2 box streamer that has lead me to sell my £50k+ analogue set up.

It would be very worth while looking at the A style forum - the innuos streamers are very well thought of there - also lots of reviews of other brands.
