Streamers made in America?


I’m having a hard time finding streamers that are made in America. I prefer audio equipment made in the USA. Lumin and AURALiC are Chinese. Aurender is Korean. Hifi Rose is Korean. PS Audio is really stalling on their streamer. Are there any options?

<lots of replies telling the OP he should get a plastic or metal chassis…>

Anyway, the challenge of made in the USA is tough and I don’t have much else to add.  You could get a Mac Pro, a rare made in the USA computer and run J.River or a made in Japan VAIO laptop and run J.River.  It is easier to find US companies that are assembled overseas.

The Sonos Port is currently made in Malaysia but the heavy lifting of the design and software engineering is in the USA.  

Marantz SACD 30n is made in Japan, but the profits funnel to Masimo, a U.S. company.  There are no balanced outputs on the 30n but it does utilize the algorithms from the SA-10.  Build quality is exceptional given the price point and economies of scale. Both should have pretty good user interfaces.

DTS PlayFi products like the McIntosh MB50 are not quite as nice to use and the MB50 isn’t as high end as other products but it is a good option for assembled in the US.

If “quality” is something you are after and are more flexible about the country, Bryston is great as noted.  Don’t forget about Linn, made in the UK.  

I just purchased the Cary DMS800 PV.  I now have both the Cary DMS600 and the DMS800PV. The best choice I have ever made especially since I have been down that rabbit hole chasing the best streamer/DAC.  Best of luck to you guys on finding the right streamer/DAC Made in the USA to fulfill your needs.  I’ve found mine and now I can enjoy the music.

Anyone have the Cary Audio DMS-650 or 700?

The Airlens didn't impress, looking at one of the aforementioned Cary Audio units.

LCD screen is one feature I greatly appreciate, so Moon didn't make the short list.
