I would like to recommend the Naim NDX, which can be had used in your price range. The Naim is not only a high quality streamer that works perfectly with my NAS, but it has an excellent DAC, an upradegeable power supply if you are into that sort of thing, and several outputs and input options. The topper is that the Naim app is free, and IMHO, works as well as Roon without paying anything. The Naim app lets you view your music according to your file structure on the NAS, and for most of the music, provides a nice write-up on the album and artist if you want to review it, and allows you to play an entire album, internet radio, and the streaming services like Tidal as well.
Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready?
Just as the title explains..
Currently using an Auralic Mini to Mytek Liberty. Looking for a one box solution to save space/cables primarily, but if sound quality improvement is capable in the under $3K range as well, then WOOHOO!!!
Will be hooked up to a Yamaha A-S2100 integrated, Spendor A4 speakers.
I've previously used: Lumin D2, and PS Audio DSD Jr. - and both of those sounded the same as my current setup, and I'm not against going back to either of those since they fit the requirements.
Open to all/any other suggestions. I have my eye currently on: Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and the Teac NT-505. Would prefer a component that offers balanced & unbalanced outputs, and volume control isn't needed of course.
Best,
Rob
