There is none out there......


I need a Wi- Fi streamer and cd zipper in one box......I have a 30 K system.....no ethernet connection........Bluesound Vault is the Only streamer out there that meets my requirements BUT  ......I've been told by Hi-Fi sales people, "it won't sound that good on a high end system".......All the other cd Zippers/ Streamers are Ethernet hard wired ONLY........Anybody know of one?

You needn’t limit yourself to a Wi-Fi connection.  You can get a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh system and go hardwired from that to your streamer via an Ethernet cable, and many have found this connection to sound much better than using Wi-Fi alone, which is a nice bonus!  With this kind of setup you can entertain streamers like the Innuos Zen or Zenith and get everything you’re looking for.  Hope this helps, and best of luck.

I would recommend not getting a combined unit… with a CD ripper. You can do that anywhere else. Just get the very best streamer you can. I prefer Aurender myself. 

Thanks everyone......If I forget about ripping my cd's for the time being....is there a stand alone quality streamer that will work with Wi Fi....At the Hi Fi Shows don't they all use the Hotels wi-fi....Even the real hi end rooms.

There is none out there cause Wi-Fi is not recommended for optimal audio performance from a streamer. As @soix pointed out, get a pair of mesh network pods to extend the range.
