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 use computers with Qobuz and Media Center software. I run the feed from the computer to either a Marantz AV amp in my home theater system or CEC DA5 dac in my stereo system.

Both computers are custom. The one used in the stereo system has an analog power supply to help reduce noise.

I tried Tidal, I decided I like Qobuz better.

I make my own cabling (Kleinbeck Engineering) because I don't like the performance of other brands. I prefer musical,  low noise, electrically accurate designs of cabling.

When I asked the same question couple months ago, I received an overwhelming 

number of great recommendations. At the end, I decided to upgrade my CDT and spend the extra money on buying cd/sacd. I know it sounds crazy but I listen more to the music I enjoy that way. I just stream to discover new music that’s it. Sorry that is not the answer you are looking for but that is what I did and for now, I enjoy my music collection more and more. Happy Holidays!

Wjob - How does your Bricasti M3 compare to the AM Tubadour SE? Thanks for your help.
