What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.

Wondering what improvements I can made to my streaming end and what you all are using.

Not looking to rip CDs and I mostly listen to vinyl.

System right now is:

Node 2 (latest version used streaming only with Roon)

Bel Canto e.One ref DAC 2.7

Bel Canto e.One ref CD3t Transport.

Bel Canto e.One ref 501S (best Class D to date to ever grace my system)

Mini GaN 5 ( had to try it and swap it in and out)

AM Qualiton X200 Tube Integrated (love it and gets most use)

QLN Prestige 5 Speakers.

All cables and wires are Signal Cable.

Appreciate the constructive feedback.

Have a great day.

I like the lossless and high res, the vast collection of music, and the price. I also use Audirvana from the Mac for my own digital collection. Haven't tried Tidal or Qobuz or Roon. So I use a Macbook Pro (or iPad Mini) outputting via USB to a Topping D10S to convert to SPDIF coaxial to an older Peachtree DacIt that (I think) still sounds great. For me, the next step is upgrading the DAC. I think the digits going into the DAC are just fine coming out of the Mac or Ipad. Maybe down the road when my system is more revealing, I'll have to improve it, but I find the DAC to be the most important part in the digital bits chain. IMHO.
