Updating my streamer


I am looking to update my steamer from Bluesound Node - I am very happy with the sound my turntable and my analog set up and would like to update my digital sound.  I do not have a stand alone DAC so any streamer will need a built in one due to space constraints.  

Current system:

PrimaLuna Evo 300 integrated amp (currently using KT120 tubes)

Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers

 

So far have looked at the Aurender A200 and HiFi Rose units.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

the 432evo depending on model uses an sotm usb card and clock with all  custom software  with a tweaked low noise motherboard with two external s booster power supplies  software the  only thing pc like is the case. 

and as stated we have outperformed many Aurender and Innous models

Which Node do you have? If it’s an older one, the new Icon Node will be out soon with a much improved DAC. I have a NODE where I have changed out the PSU and use an external DAC via USB. I understand that you may want to save space, but you may find that your Node is an adequate streamer and what will make the biggest difference is spending what funds you have available on a DAC (and decent connecting cable).

 

That being said, both my audio guys speak highly of the Hifi rose, and I heard it in a system at upscale audio when demoing preamps as well as the house streamer in the showroom of my main dealer that he uses when just working in his office that is to the side of the room (he has better ones but appreciates the ease of operation) and in both cases it sounded really good.

Surprised that Auralic is not getting a mention, Altair G2.2 for example or Vega G2.2, both very capable units

OP never specified a budget.  The streamers that he mentioned seem to be at least $4K.  For about 1K the Cambridge Audio Units are great.  The just changed DACs to ESS.  Great support for streaming services and pod casting and Internet Radio.  App is great.  I use the AirPlay and Chromecast features a lot

@audiotroy Will you ever stop trolling posts to try to sell your gear?  We realize that you follow the proper protocol by letting us know that you are dealers for whatever you're pushing.  But please tap the brakes on your continual banter that the components someone is considering don't hold a candle to the components that will put some coin in your pocket.
