Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready?


Just as the title explains..

Currently using an Auralic Mini to Mytek Liberty.  Looking for a one box solution to save space/cables primarily, but if sound quality improvement is capable in the under $3K range as well, then WOOHOO!!!

Will be hooked up to a Yamaha A-S2100 integrated, Spendor A4 speakers.

I've previously used: Lumin D2, and PS Audio DSD Jr. - and both of those sounded the same as my current setup, and I'm not against going back to either of those since they fit the requirements.

Open to all/any other suggestions.  I have my eye currently on: Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and the Teac NT-505.  Would prefer a component that offers balanced & unbalanced outputs, and volume control isn't needed of course.

Best,
Rob

Uberwaltz,

Go back one page, and you’ll see the details. In short - I went with the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge.

Tried 3 different pairings:
-w/ Yamaha A-S2100
-w/ NuForce STA200
-w/ Wyred4Sound ST-1000 MkII

That was also the order in which I preferred the sound quality overall too. However, and you won’t be surprised, I’m on to something else right now.

Currently auditioning a Simaudio Moon Neo Ace (all-in-one integrated). I’m streaming Tidal & Qobuz via Roon, using the streamer in the Neo Ace. So far, I’m diggin it. It is brand new, so I need another week before I decide whether or not it’s staying.

I figured the answer might be there but a lot of clutter posts in there too.
And no, not surprised at all, I mean it is Monday so time for a change!
LOL.

TBH, I have never looked back after moving to my Ayre QX8 super integrated and I suspect you may feel the same on the Sim unit.
Just so much convenience, less boxes and cables and point the remote to change to anything.
Uber,

Very true, and I have a feeling I'll be living the Neo Ace for a while.  At least 3 weeks!!
