on the cheap

I have an allo usbridge signature streamer in my secondary system and it is very good for $249. You can often find people upgradeing and selling cheap.

I had a node too and it was an OK streamer and poor dac.  you are paying extra to get a poor DAC with your streamer.

I presume the OP meant no Ethernet, just WiFi or BT

thanks guys. I'm sorry my knowledge is lacking in this digital world. I would like not to have to physically hook up an ethernet cable. Wires to the integrated amp would be fine. I will look at your suggestions. Chances are I still won't know what they're talking about.

The question asked includes a few red flags.  “WiFi Streamer” that doesn’t hook up to the internet?  Well Bluetooth doesn’t need internet, but where’s the stream coming from?  Does this person have a stereo amplifier and speakers already?  Obviously the many responses of Node or WiiM are all perfectly good if so.  But if not, an amplified streaming DAC like WiiM Amp would be simpler.  Nodes can play from USB storage, which WiiM does not, so if internet-free use is really desired, a used Node 2i is the best bet.

Kinda blow away, actually, with how much they can cram into this little boxes for the money. I go back to the day when the price of admission an "entry level" CD player was $700, our best-selling VCR was $679, and 42" plasma televisions were $14,000.
