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.

probably because it’s the ND5 and yes, IF you like the built in DAC is a lovely bit of gear.

 

Pdreher. I upgraded my Bluesound Node 2i with a LSPU. It made quite a noticeable difference. You could do an upgrade like I did for around 300 euros. Used an upgrade board and a LSPU from Allo. Might be a good option to consider to give you the confidence that upgrading your streamer can make quite a big difference. I cannot comment on some of the other products here, but I can vouch for the fact that a small change like this can make a decent impact.

3D Labs Nano Transport Signature, with upgraded PSU. Ethernet input via Network Acoustics ENO and Rubicon network switch. Perfection.
