What are your top 3 favorite DAC or DAC/Streamer devices?


Just wanted to find out what everybody is using and why? I guess I will start.
1. Schiit Bifrost/ Bifrost Uber/ Multibit. These devices sound great and are affordable.
2. Ayre Codex- Great Dac, but costly.
3. Bluesound Node 2. Budget Swiss army knife audio- as it can be a preamp/DAC/, wirless bridge to your digital library and streamer.

Which DACs, streamers or combo devices do you use or like?

Lumin U1 to PS Audio Direct Stream, via USB with Intona and iFi Micro, is the best I’ve heard so far.

Others I’ve heard:
Roon/ROCK on Intel NUCi5 > PS Audio DSD;
Synology NAS/Minimserver > PS Audio DSD;
Logitech Transporter > Audio Note DAC;
Squeezebox Touch > Audio Note DAC;
Mac Mini > Ayre QB-9

Transporter > AN 4.1 DAC is prob close behind the Lumin/DSD.

There are others I just don’t recall all the combos.
