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.

Since you’re mostly Bel Canto I’m going to recommend the e.One Stream. I’ve got one paired with a W4S DAC and couldn’t be happier. Head and shoulders above the Node.

Started with Bluesound Vault and Ayre Codex 

Now Arender N10 and Codex upgrading  dac to Aesthetix Pandora

At $3k and below it's really hard to beat the Innuos Zen-Mini+LPSU. It sounds wonderful and has both digital and analog outputs and rips/stores aswell.  A really good place to start then add on an external dac. 

One easy improvement ,buy a $200 Wireworld Starlight Ethernet cable 

and to clean the digital signal , a Uptone Audio Ether Regen 

both are very well known and will for sure improve your sound For Sure !!
