At your local dSC dealer you should be able to trade your Paganini and clock for a new Bartok. The Bartok has an updated dCS ring DAC and streamer. You can use their Mosaic streaming program to access Tidal/Qobuz or subscribe to Roon. Top quality sound and economical. Or, spend some additional money and get a Rossini which also has streaming capability. Both units will continue to receive dCS software updates which have stopped for the older Paganini.
Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)
I have a dCS Paganini DAC and Paganini Clock. I’m looking for a streamer only to pair with the Paganini to stream via Tidal. That’s it, I don’t need a streamer/DAC/etc. I don’t want to extra for pay for redundancy. Any good suggestions on a streamer only that you have paired to a high end DAC with good results would be appreciated.
PLEASE no “try some at home on your system” responses …. that’s the reason I came here, for some recommendations. Price range $1500-$5000.
Thanks!

The innuos statement streamer I believe is very good, depending on your budget the Taiko SGM extreme is as good as it gets https://taikoaudio.com/taiko-2020/sgm-extreme-music-server/ I have also read good things about the Grimm audio streamer MU1. I auditioned the AURALiC streamers against my home made computer streamer and they did not impress. This lead me to the audiophile style forum which is a wealth of info on both commercial and DIY streamers. I ended up building a state of the art 2 box streamer that has lead me to sell my £50k+ analogue set up. It would be very worth while looking at the A style forum - the innuos streamers are very well thought of there - also lots of reviews of other brands.
