Streamers

I’m shopping for streamers and feel like I have my search narrowed down to 3.  The Auralic Vega G2, Lumin T2 and Esoteric N5.  I’m hoping on someone discussing the strengths of each of these to better guide my decision.   My currents components include an Origin Live turntable, Pathos TT integrated amp and Wilson Benesch Vector speakers.   I wanted it to be a dedicated record setup but flipping records or lifting needles while listening to music isn’t always possible.

While based on your healthy audio budget, you might want to consider the (top shelf) Rockna
Wave Dream Net that will do what you want and maybe even more than you had considered.

Look at just getting a digital streamer and a top shelf DAC. SHD Studio with balanced out.  OR Magna Mano Ultra with i2s out.
Into a Denafrips or a DirectStream.
Volimio is free.  Unless you LIKE to hire a permanent guide for finding music.

When buying a streamer, make sure you also consider the user interface friendliness as a criteria in your evaluation. Also, some streamers do not support (internal) WiFi access if that's something that is important to you. Good luck with your search.
