Looking for a front end streamer only.


I am looking for a front end streamer that I can get the cleanest sound out such as the Auralic Aries 2.1 or Dcs Network Bridge etc.I mostly would stream Tidal and Qobuz but would like Roon end point too. I have a Anthem STR integrated amp and Focal Aria 936 floor standing speakers. Mostly been doing Vinyl and Cd's. Looking to join the streaming world. Will buy a better Dac later. Don't want to spend more than about  6k. I would like to use my ipad for controlling everything. I have a dedicated ethernet connection or can do wifi.

Just 2 previous streamers.
Blue sound Node 2i - liked it very much for the money but later decided I wanted ripping capability. Then bought Cocktail Audio X45 a open box unit that proved to have mechanical issues.

The Innuous Zen Mk 3 to me is just great. Roon capability, ripping is quiet and quick. Couldn’t be happier. And customer support has been terrific.
I am going to repost since my original post was flagged and deleted  - why? I don't know.

@kingbarbuda - Joe here, of Wolf. As far as a track record goes, since we spoke at AXPONA, we have continued to grow. If you are based in the US, there are a number of shops (13 or so). If there is not one near you, you can call us. We also have distribution in Asia and Europe if you are overseas 

Another place you can hear our stuff is at the VPI House in Cliffwood, NJ. They don't do digital often, but when they do, Harry and Mat use a Wolf.

Why do people want to spend more than the cost of Node 2i?
There is no such thing as "cleaner sound" in the digital domain provided you are not losing bits of your FLAC. The DAC, however, will make a difference -- but no need to spend more than about $1,200. Ditto for cabling, digital and good (but not exotic) balanced.
